Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2018)

I'm a lead developer at FlightAware. I'm currently leading our flight tracking team, which develops and maintains a distributed system for tracking flights in parallel, and I'm in the process of building a machine learning team for the first time ever at the company.

This is an opportunity to have a potentially huge impact on machine learning not just at FlightAware but on the aviation industry in general. There are a lot of fascinating and challenging problems in this area: computing taxi times, landing times, departure times, airport congestion, flight delays, and more based on complex real-time contextual information. I honestly believe these are among the most interesting problems you'll find to work on almost anywhere.

FlightAware has a vast amount of highly granular flight data going back many years to facilitate tackling these problems. For instance, we have detailed surface movement data for all aircraft on the ground at most major worldwide airports. We have detailed weather records and radar imagery. We have thousands of live ADS-B receivers around the world. And we've partnered with Aireon to deploy ADS-B receivers in space on dozens of satellites in orbit; this will allow us to achieve global tracking coverage, even over the oceans and other large bodies of water.

FlightAware wants to be on the forefront of tackling these problems using modern, sophisticated methods. We view this as a long-term strategic initiative for the company.

You'd be the first full-time machine learning engineer, so we're looking for someone fairly senior and experienced. You won't be a cog in the machine. This is not just a research position and will involve building end-to-end production systems, from training pipelines to real-time inference engines, so we're ideally looking for someone with a demonstrated track record of doing so. With that said, we're willing to consider less experienced candidates with exceptional backgrounds.

FA is a small company (currently 70-80 employees), but we're not a startup. We've been around for over a decade and don't rely on VC funding at all. The company is successful, profitable, and growing. And we just built out a brand new modern office space in Houston.

Marketing Attribution was founded and is run by Ross-boy Link, a seasoned statistician and entrepreneur who’s been doing data science since before the term was coined. Ross continues to actively participate in the development of the product given his background in analytics and you’ll see him sling some SAS or Python to experiment with a new way to crunch numbers.

We develop and support highly automated analytical software that uses cloud-based statistical analysis of large marketing datasets to measure the incremental sales that result from various media, allocate marketing spend to the most efficient media, and connect to media buying systems to execute media buys.

In short, we take the client’s sales and marketing data, run analytics on it (our secret sauce), and from those results, tell the client where they should start and/or stop spending on marketing (TV, Radio, Internet etc.).

We're hiring our 5th engineer:

- Senior Data Engineer (http://marketingattribution.com/jobs/senior-frontend-enginee...)

You're coming in on the ground floor. This is an entirely greenfield project with no legacy code to maneuver around. The frontend was developed about 5 months ago and we're looking to accelerate the development of new features.

Come and join our medical research registry development team.

Prometheus Research (https://prometheusresearch.com) builds informatics solutions for medical researchers and medical associations, helping researchers manage their studies and helping doctors increase quality of care. Most of our company's work is client-facing application development and customization. Some of our products that are of broad general use are included in an open source RexDB (https://rexdb.org) platform.

As a remote-first team, we value collaborative developers who excel at written communication, enjoy working with product users, and are self-directed. Currently we are transitioning from a monolithic Python/PostgreSQL/React based application over to multi-application (but single repository, single VM) orchestration. Proficiency with full-stack implementations and security standards (https://owasp.org) is important.

In this position, you'll be expected to drive key parts of our medical research registry product. This involves looking at various client solutions, abstracting out shared functionality, documenting/implementing shared works, and helping our custom development team with transition. You'll be working with FHIR, an emerging HL7 standard for medical data sharing.

This year we'll be branching out to use Julia for backend data analytics and ReasonML/OCaml for our front end development. If you're interested in hearing more, please send your resume and cover letter to sr-engineer-2018@prometheusresearch.com At this time, the expected pay range is from $90-$120K/year.
