Designer, Product Manager, and others | New York | Full Time | www.flippable.org/careers

flippable is hiring for four positions: Product Manager, Product Designer, Director of Marketing and Communications, and Director of Operations. We are accepting applications on a rolling basis and hope to onboard these new roles before this year’s state legislative elections in November. See more information about flippable below.

We care deeply about building an inclusive, equitable, and nationally representative team -- and thus designing our hiring process to minimize bias. We are using principles from Project Include and are actively recruiting individuals who share our passion for good government but may not yet have heard of us.

Our democracy is upside down. We see partisan imbalance at all levels of government -- but especially in our states. Over the past 10 years, the GOP invested heavily in winning state elections in order to take control of national elections. They passed laws suppressing voters and redrawing district lines to give themselves a permanent majority in Congress. And if we don’t take action at the state level, our system will continue to favor Republicans through 2030.

But we can flip the script -- starting in the states. By flipping state legislatures from red to blue, we can draw new Congressional maps and protect voting rights, giving everyone an equal voice in our democracy. We can enact progressive policies that protect our civil rights and expand the social safety net. And we can build a Democratic bench, ensuring strong state and federal leadership for decades to come.

Flippable is building a national movement to flip states from red to blue. We empower voters, volunteers, and donors with information that both educates and motivates them to support Democrats at the state level. Our primary activities are:

Raising awareness: We produce original digital content that highlights the critical role of state governments in a balanced democracy. Our content is viewed over 10M times per month.

Running the numbers: We are building a model to identify which Democratic candidates donors should invest in -- where their dollars and time will have the greatest ROI. Our analysis shows where we are most likely to flip seats and, ultimately, the state chambers that have the greatest impact on redistricting and voting rights.

Supporting candidates: We show our community the highest-impact ways to get involved through clear, tangible calls to action. Since November 2016, we have raised $450,000 and deployed thousands of volunteers to support Democrats running in the most critical -- and flippable -- races.

In addition to client work, we are working on a top-secret, internally-developed product that is slated for limited release in Q1 2018 (it is going to be great).

No offense intended, but isn't that a huge salary for a startup? Your burn rate must be massive!

We’re one year in the market and already profitable. Believe it or not, many engineers are earning much bigger salaries in financial companies, and our software has similar security and reliability requirements as a financial app. These are our first hires. We want the best we can afford.

- One year in the market and already profitable

- In stealth mode

- Making first hires

How does that add up?

Cambridge Massachusetts US | Part or Full Time | Cofounder / CTO | equity-based compensation | On-site

We're a small startup using deep learning applied to dermatology images + clinical information to help primary care physicians determine the right diagnosis for skin problems.

We're looking for a strong programmer with experience in machine learning and image processing (ideally neural nets) and the ability to build things quickly and test them for feedback.

Your work will be impactful. Skin disease is a top global problem that doctors are challenged by, accurately diagnosing about half of cases, primarily because they don't know what they're looking at. Just in the US dermatology costs the health system $75 billion each year.

There's potential to move this startup to the Bay Area, California.

FYI - this guy is an external recruiter, not part of the hiring company, so beware the usual sort of tricks and bait-and-switch.

I'm not a recruiter, I'm an engineer, a regular HNer for 5+ years and 2k+ karma. I'm external to the company, that's correct, because every contractor/freelancer actually is "external". I've been tasked with finding talent on dev forums and GitHub, earning a "finder's fee" for the extra-hours I'm doing. The offer and role has been depicted accurately and redacted with the input of all the team. Management and lead en…

I've worked at companies that have offices in Toronto, Canada (where I currently live) while their main offices are abroad (US and Curaçao).

They seem to have have a lot of problems with us having different laws and regulations than them (eg: healthcare, holidays) and we're only one country. How does that work when everyone is from different countries?
