Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2015)

Credera, https://www.credera.com/ – Dallas, Houston, Denver – Full-time – ONSITE only

We seek natural problem-solvers who are passionate about software development at work and at home. We offer the opportunity to work with some of the newest languages and frameworks, accelerate your career with more variety and a faster pace, recognition/salary/bonus rewards along the way, and enjoy a transparent and collaborative culture with minimal travel.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will create custom software solutions that solve clients' most challenging problems using a combination of industry standard and cutting edge technologies including Spring Boot, Scala, MongoDB and AngularJS. You'll design complex, robust, high-volume software solutions leveraging open source frameworks and client-side technologies. You will work closely with your project team to conduct peer code reviews, make and communicate technical decisions to clients, and see the impact you have on the direction and end success of a solution.

We are looking for a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Management Information Systems, or related field of study, experience with Java/JavaEE technologies, open source frameworks such as Spring and Hibernate, continuous deployment environment and tools (Jenkins, TeamCity, etc.), and knowledge of Enterprise Integration Patterns (Camel, Spring Integration).

If you're interested in any of our locations, please contact Paige Edwards at pedwards@credera.com or view all of our job opportunities athttp://bit.ly/1whqjEt.

Duco, http://du.co/ – London, UK – Full-time – ONSITE. We are a unique self-service data reconciliation platform, relied upon by tier-one banks, hedge funds, assets managers, etc.

We're looking for a variety of technical recruits, including VP of Engineering and developers. See https://duco.bamboohr.co.uk/jobs/ for details!

OpenSignal - London, UK (Full time, permanent) At OpenSignal we're using mobile apps to tap into the smart phones we're all carrying around with us to build up global crowdsourced sensor networks. Our first sensor network is for wireless signal [1] where we are building a global database on the coverage and performance of wireless networks (both mobile + WiFi) on a scale that has never before been possible. Our second sensor network is WeatherSignal [2], which uses the barometers, thermometers and hygrometers on smart phones to crowdsource weather data and we have already published a scientific paper [3] showing the potential of this approach. Our third sensor network is WifiMapper [4] which leverages sensors and the community to build the best free Wifi database in the world.

If the concept of crowdsourced sensor networks appeals to you too then please get in touch. We are hiring for all manner of different roles right now (Android, Full-stack, Backend (Python), Frontend, UX/UI & Data Science(R, Pandas, Numpy, Spark)) but most of all we are just looking for smart, like minded people rather than people with specific, existing skills. We raised our $4 million series A [5] from Qualcomm Ventures, O'Reilly Alphatech Ventures & Passion Capital and we are growing fast.

University of Michigan | Ann Arbor | Full-time | Onsite

This may be the only "Who's Hiring?" posting this month (possibly ever?) that offers the opportunity to work directly with brain surgeons in an operating room. The Neurosurgery Department at the University of Michigan is hiring for a unique position in a lab developing tools to distinguish cancerous tissue during surgery. The HR-sanitized posting of the position is here:

http://umjobs.org/job_detail/117286/research_laboratory_spec...

...but we are really looking for someone with a software passion who wants to gain experience in a biomedical environment, perhaps as a pathway to graduate studies or medical school. A C++ background would be ideal, but any numerical computing (Python/NumPy, MATLAB, R, Julia) or functional (Ocaml, Haskell, Scala, Clojure/Incanter, any Lisp...) programming experience is a plus. Experience developing in any of OpenCV, ITK, VTK, Point Cloud Library, or ImageJ would also be a plus as the position will include microscopy, image analysis, and surgical navigation (look up "BrainLab" or "Medtronic StealthStation" to see what this looks like). At least initially, it will also require some hands-on wet-lab work (training will be provided -- the listed lab experience is negotiable). Above all, we are looking for intense curiosity and a willingness to get your hands dirty with software, hardware, and wetware.

I am the lab PI, and I was referred to this board by a friend who said he frequently sees HN posts asking about getting in to the biomedical field with a CS background. This job provides such an opportunity. We are a small, young, and ambitious clinical-translational lab with an extremely productive (multiple publications in a Science journal) collaboration with one of the top spectroscopy groups in the world. Do note that this is an academic lab position, so we can't offer anywhere near Bay Area salaries. (but Ann Arbor's QoL/CoL ratio is absolutely fantastic!)

Sorry about that. Didn't know the format rules, will do more research before next time.
