Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2016)

Senior Data Scientist, Deep Learning Data Scientist, Computational Research Scientist

We have 20 TB of high-resolution images of human cells, some diseased, some healthy, which we have to statistically distinguish as a first step to finding cures for rare genetic diseases. Our small team of biology and math Ph.D.’s has the potential to save lives and be at the forefront of the revolution in image-based biological analysis.

What we do

There are more than 5,000 untreated rare genetic diseases, which together affect nearly ten million people in the US alone. Each of these diseases affects too few people for traditional pharmaceutical companies to approach them, so we're building a way to seek treatments for hundreds of these diseases in parallel. We aim to find treatments for 100 of them in the next 10 years.

What you’ll do

As a core member of our data science team, you’ll collaborate with our biologists to guide our experimental design, improve the models that drive our analysis, and use our data answer questions that guide our scientific and technical strategy. We currently work mainly with the python scientific stack, including pandas and IPython, and making some use of such libraries as sklearn, while also building our own models for machine learning and statistical inference. See the posts linked below for more details.

Logistics

We're based in Research Park at the edge of the mountains overlooking Salt Lake City, Utah. Gorgeous hiking/running/biking is literally out our back door, and it's half an hour to 5 top ski resorts. We offer competitive pay, health insurance, relocation assistance (working at the office is part of the deal), equity, an awesome team to work with, and the chance to impact the world in a massively positive way. We’re happy to sponsor, but you need to already be authorized to work in the US.

Twenty20 is helping amateur photographers sell their work, and creating a new inventory of amazing photos for creatives to use in their work, allowing them to break free of traditional, inauthentic, staged stock photography. The oldest photographs in Getty's image catalog have literally been for sale since 1920 - so boring.

By crafting a mobile experience that allows photographers to get inspired, gain a following and get exposure, as well as sell some of their work, we've grown to a massive community of 250,000 photographers, and we've got big brands using our photos: Google, Uber, Viacom, and Birchbox, to name a few.

Our values? We are guided by our mission and steered by metrics. We focus on the one thing that matters today. Along with a strong bias for speed and learning, we strive for excellence and elegance. We believe in being open and honest with one another. We believe in obsessing over our users, not our competitors. We are a perpetual work in progress.

We're looking for: - Full Stack Engineers (we mostly use Ruby and other elements of a Rails-like stack) - Mobile / iOS Engineers (the mobile product we build is at the core of our business) - Product Designers (the intersection of technology with media and design makes this an especially fun place for creators) - Product Analysts (data is at the heart of everything we do) - Product Managers (driving revenue and retention through product is a top priority)
