Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2016)

I just noticed that your Back-End Engineer position is set to Romania, and your DevOps to France. Is that correct? Does it make sense to apply to those as an American?

1QBit | Software Developer | Vancouver, BC | Full-time | Onsite | C++/Python (potentially more in the future)

1QBit is the world’s first quantum software company, and one of the select few organizations, alongside Google, NASA and Lockheed Martin, with access to the world’s only commercially available quantum hardware, the D-Wave 2X. Over the past three years the company has developed algorithms and tools to solve high-value optimization problems for Fortune 100 companies in finance, energy, life sciences, and a range of other industries. This year, 1QBit was recognized as a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum (http://www.techvibes.com/blog/1qbit-world-economic-forum-tec...), and represented Canada, along with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in Davos at the WEF annual meeting this past January (https://medium.com/singularity-university-blog/the-theme-of-...).

At the core, 1QBit’s development team is building software that organizations and individuals will be able to use to develop Quantum-Ready™ applications, without having to understand the complexities of quantum hardware. Our library is written in C++ for performance, and wrapped with SWIG to provide an elegant Python interface. The next phase of our roadmap includes a limited public release, building new algorithms, binary polynomials and solvers to share with organizations working on NP-hard optimization problems.

This is a unique opportunity to work with a diverse range of algorithms, and to collaborate with a strong team of researchers creating new theoretical techniques that you will help build into some of the first real world applications for quantum computers.

Catawiki, Amsterdam, ONSITE, VISA, Full Time

Data Scientist - Fastest Growing Tech company in Europe. Catawiki hosts weekly auctions for collectors. Examples of past items we have auctioned off include a lock of Napoleon’s hair, a mammoth skeleton, various large meteorites, and the most expensive Lego set ever produced. In 2015, Catawiki won the Deloitte Fast500 as Europe’s fastest growing company. Every month, our website is visited millions of times by registered users worldwide.

Catawiki is looking for a Data Scientist to join its Data Science team. You will be responsible for performing advanced modeling and forecasting on a wide range of problems.

Catawiki is not a standard e-commerce company. Our data is fairly unique, because we have very high item churn. This results from the fact that we auction off rare and unique items run on a weekly basis, so we don’t have long timelines to accumulate data on items. Therefore, out-of-the-box techniques like CF recommender systems won’t work and you’ll have to get creative. In addition, there is a lot of value that can be created by enhancing our auctioneer productivity with machine learning techniques, for instance by ranking item supply on their expected closing price.
