Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2017)

We’re actively looking for full-stack software engineers who are passionate about building cutting-edge systems that work on the latest tech stack (Python, React, AWS) but also help save lives. You’ll have an opportunity to learn and lead development of several AI-enabled products and solutions within the company that are geared to help accelerate the development of new cures and to reduce the inefficiencies in how healthcare information is managed.

Some of the things you’d be working on:

- Integrating health/life sciences machine learning/NLP/data APIs into web apps.

- Scaling databases, applications and APIs on AWS/docker/container platforms.

- Planning product development along with the design and product teams.

- Iterating and working with an engineering team to deliver quality software.

- Building intuitive and engaging UIs for non-technical users such as healthcare practitioners and clinical researchers.

We’re headquartered in NYC (right across the street from the iconic Empire State Building) and we have offices in the Philippines and India. AND…..we can do headstands even after an all-night hackathon! So, if you want to work with technologies that have a real and positive impact on people’s lives, and you also want a fun time then come join our team.

The process: a quick phone screen, technical interview, take-home exercise then an onsite to meet with the team.

Requirements:

* Bachelor's or an advanced degree in Computer Science or related technical field.

* Strong knowledge of the Python programming language.

* Sound knowledge of front-end technologies including HTML, CSS and Javascript.

Benefits/Perks:

* As a health-conscious company working in the healthcare domain, we provide free uBiome gut tests, 23andMe genomic test and fitness tracker of your choice (Fitbit, Garmin or Apple Watch).

* Being an AI and ML driven company, we also provide all employees a free home automation device (Alexa, Google Home).

* And of course, a competitive full-time salary, health insurance, flexible vacation policy with work from home option.

* Relocation will be provided.

* Visa assistance as needed.

If you’re unsure about applying or have any questions about the role or team, please don’t hesitate to email our CTO Chintan (chintan@appliedinformaticsinc.com) directly
