Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2017)

Our Machine Learning group is expanding and we are looking for an experienced Deep Learning Researcher. You will be joining a small, cross-disciplinary team and work alongside colleagues from varied backgrounds including Deep Learning, Computational Neuroscience, Applied Statistics, and Computer Science at the Man AHL Centre of Excellence in Machine Learning, which is co-located with the Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance at the University of Oxford

We are looking for someone with:

• A doctorate and substantial deep learning research experience in an area such as computer vision, natural language processing or generic machine learning

• Practical, “hands-on” experience in one or more deep learning technologies such as CNNs, RNNs, and LSTMs

• Excellent programming, scripting and scientific computing skills (ideally in Python)

• A passion for understanding financial markets through empirical data analysis and modelling

Your responsibilities will include: Research and analysis of extensive and varied data sets from both global financial markets and non-financial market sources; developing robust forecasting models using a portfolio of machine learning and other signal processing, statistical and econometric techniques; applying these in the development and implementation of new trading, execution, risk management and portfolio construction applications.

We are a small flat-structured company with a no-attitude feel, and you will have plenty of opportunity to grow and have enormous impact on what we do.

Our models manage over $20 billion of investor capital and we have a 30-year track record of outstanding performance.

Our culture is open and transparent and we are actively engaged with the broader machine learning community.

• We host and sponsor London's Machine Learning (goo.gl/15GHkS) and PyData (goo.gl/yNtppX) Meetups.

• We attend and sponsor NIPS and ICML

• We offer various benefits including free lunches, a cycle to work scheme, company away days, private health insurance, discounted gym membership and visa sponsorship.

Pollen AM is a french start-up formed by a team of the best doctors and engineers within their various fields: they are PhDs in micro nano electronic, in physical chemistry of soft materials, electronics and mechanics engineer, optical specialized physicist and, of course, software. The company has been researching and developing its 3D Printer for 5 years under the radar. Pollen AM offers the first real technological breakthrough for 15 years in the 3D Printing field. Our printer is able to print multi-material finished products locally, on demand, for a fraction of the actual prices. Founded at the end of 2013, the company is supported by Business Angels and is currently undergoing its Series A round.

Pollen AM is looking for an embedded software developer with competences in the electronics field. Within the technical team, you will take care of the development of the low-level software and associated electronics. You will be particularly active on operational electronics problems. You will support other services from R&D and will create new prototypes, bring new solutions and support the product life cycle.

Skills & requirements: - Experience with embedded software development; - Proficiency in C/C++ languages; - Experience with micro-controllers; - Competent in electronics prototyping; - Comfortable with versioning tools (Git); - Autonomous.

Bonus points: - You have experience designing robots; - You love 3D printers; - You are capable of welding, screwing, drilling...

Technical details Workplace: Paris Job available: Now Contract: Full time position with flexible hours Salary: Depending on profile

Contact: jobs@pollen.am

The ideal candidate is:

Looking for fantastic work/life balance - no stress, few meetings, no overtime, no assigned work, permanent 10% weekly research time ​

Polyglot-comfortable - doesn't mind learning C#, F#, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, and sometimes working in all five in one day

Loves pair-programming/TDD - is excited to work with a talented team - mentoring and being mentored 100% of the time

Tolerates occasionally grungy work needed to maintain an enormous C#/F# banking application used by the majority of the world's biggest banks

Comfortable working without a tech lead - we have no leads, every pair is trusted to design the best solutions without being told or supervised in a self-organizing team

Intrinsic desire to learn and improve - We are always learning and pushing into new areas: currently some are researching and writing proposals for an AWS-hosted version of our system. Several others are studying linear programming to better develop an in-progress optimization system using CPLEX. Others are studying dependent-typed programming with proof assistants in an experiment to formally prove parts of our system. A couple team-mates are doing broad improvements across our 4.6 million line codebase designed to make it more type-safe with fewer bugs.

Feel free to email me for more info at steven.shogren@smartstream-stp.com. The interview process is whiteboard-free, no memorization, no algorithms. We pair program together working on several small projects for a day.

We are a small team that opens up positions rarely: this is the first position we've opened up in years without a waiting list of pre-screened candidates. The pay for the current position is average for Philly for a developer with 3-5 years of experience. If you've got a lot more and are a really great fit let's talk anyway and we'll see what we can do. Worst case you get on the waiting list for the next position ;)
