Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2018)

Our engineering team is looking for a Senior level Dev/Ops SRE to take our connected vehicle project out of the lab, and bring it to scale.

You'll will be working with a small team of all senior level and above developers working at the ground floor of the connected vehicle industry as well as actively contributing to reducing traffic fatalities. You will have the opportunity to work directly with governments and vehicle manufacturers to help shape and set the standards for the data and hardware platform that will power the next 10-15 years of automotive IoT.

We currently leverage terraform to standup our infrastructure which includes ecs clusters, lambdas, kinesis and s3, but this position would have free reign to architect the infrastructure using whatever tools and services that are best for the job. We just want someone who has built highly available, highly scalable systems and can communicate best practices to the rest of engineering, and isn't afraid of learning something new everyday as we build a new industry.

I'm a senior engineer on the team, feel free to message me directly about any questions! limc@panasonicautomotive.com

Transcriptic is turning biology into an information science by creating a fully automated cloud wet lab. Biologists anywhere can submit and run experiments over the internet on-demand and without investing up-front in a lab facility.

The Transcriptic Common Lab Environment (TCLE) takes Autoprotocol (http://autoprotocol.org/), a high-level JSON description of a biological protocol, and executes it on our custom-built robotic workcells. The protocols we handle routinely involve solving constraint programming models with thousands of variables and constraints in order to find a plan that fulfills the scientist's biological intent.

Scientists manage their experiments through our web application or via our API. We provide a single platform that controls scientific devices from many vendors, and an interface to control our automated labs.
