Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2018)

Care3 | Los Angeles, CA | Sr Fullstack Engineer && Fullstack Engineer | Full-time, Onsite | care3.co/careers.php

Care3 started with the realization that the most vulnerable members of our society including seniors, people of color, and the disabled do not have equal access to healthcare and receive inadequate quality of care in their homes and communities. Care3 is built to fix these unacceptable and unnecessary disparities.

We’ve created a platform for collaboration that allows caregivers and care teams to coordinate care for the patient. We’re looking to grow our engineering team to continue building out our mission!

Care3 is looking for talented people who are okay with not knowing how to solve a problem and figure it out anyways. We provide the environment to allow you to learn and make mistakes, learn from each team member, and for you take ownership of our stack. The impact of your contributions will be immediate and we’re excited to speak with you.

Apply by sending your resume to careers@care3.co, thanks!

Development Seed | Washington D.C. | Cloud Engineer | Full-time, Onsite | https://developmentseed.org/careers/cloud-engineer/

Development Seed is an engineering and design shop based in Washington, DC, Lisbon, Portugal and Ayacucho, Peru. We’re a team of twenty-six developers and designers creating positive social impact with open tech and open knowledge alongside organizations like the World Bank, the Washington Post, and NASA.

We are looking for an engineer to help us build powerful open tools for managing and distributing data in the cloud. You’ll build reliable, scalable services optimized to deliver petabytes of satellite imagery data to millions of simultaneous users. You will be solving real problems for organizations that address big global challenges. You will be using the best technology available on a team of people that want you to grow and win.

You:

- Collaborate — Working as a team makes us stronger than any individual developer. You write clear Github tickets and communicate effectively on Slack and in-person.

- Learn — We constantly evolve our technology stack and techniques to deliver the best work to our partners. You don’t need to know any particular language or framework upfront but you need to demonstrate you’re able and excited to learn new ways to build. You’ve also tried out enough options to know that the hip new thing isn’t always the best solution.

- Code — You write code focusing on both performance and maintainability. You know when to use a quick fix and when to invest more time refactoring.

- Care about the world and believe that we can do better — Social change is the foundation of everything we do. You are impatient about solving the world’s toughest challenges.

Ideal candidates have 2+ years professional experience with:

- Node.js

- Amazon Web Services, specifically Cloudformation, S3, Step Functions, ECS, Lambda, Elasticsearch and DynamoDB

Ozora Research | Engineers, Linguists | Berkeley, CA | Part-Time | Onsite | Equity

My company, Ozora Research, is developing a next-generation suite of Natural Language Processing tools centered around sentence parsing. We spend our time thinking deeply about the structure of language and then building statistical models that capture the structure. The requirements are: a good background in mathematics and statistics, and a deep interest in language and linguistics. Programming skill is a big plus, but not an absolute requirement.

I believe we are poised to make a huge dent in the world of NLP and linguistics. The field of automated parsing has been bogged down for the last 20 years because of its dependence on labelled training data (e.g the Penn Treebank). In my research I've discovered a way to circumvent that limitation, by building and evaluating sentence parsers using only a large amount of raw text data. I've spent the last couple of years validating the approach, and now that I'm confident it works, I'm looking to build up a team.

I have a nontraditional, minimalist and cockroachy business plan that won't appeal to everyone, but I can promise you that if I get rich you will also. I can also guarantee that you will get a ton of great experience that you would be tough to get at a big company. I want to especially encourage the following types of people to reach out:

- Recent grads in language-related fields who want to break into the software engineering industry

- People who have had some success in mainstream software engineering careers, but are looking to try something new

- People who want are thinking about going to graduate school in CS/ML/AI/NLP and want some experience doing research in that area

I'm happy to talk more about the specifics in person. Email me at daniel dot burfoot at gmail.
