Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2016)

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. If the concept of crowdsourced sensor networks appeals to you too then please get in touch. We are hiring for a Full-stack Dev and a UX/UI Designer but most of all we are just looking for smart, like minded people rather than people with specific, existing skills. We're also backed by top-tier investors (we raised a $4million series A [4] from Qualcomm Ventures, O'Reilly Alphatech Ventures & Passion Capital).

===== Who we are =====

We're an 8-person startup driven to improve healthy living and pregnancy outcome using smart wearable devices. We have our headquarters in San Francisco, as well as offices in both Belgium and in the Netherlands where most of our engineering staff is based.

We're currently developing a wearable sensor that pregnant women wear on their belly and which they can use to monitor maternal and fetal health (contractions, heart-rate, fetal kicks, etc.) using their smartphone. We can use this data to predict labor onset and high-risk pregnancies. A Beta version of our product is already available in an early access program in the US, and we are getting very positive feedback from both our customers and medical experts.

===== Who we are looking for =====

We are closing an investment round and are looking for talented people with experience and interest in:

* Mobile development (iOS (Swift) or/and Android).

* Signal processing or/and bio-engineering.

* Embedded systems or/and low-level C programming.

Having some knowledge in machine learning and Python web development is a plus. We are still a small engineering team, so we're looking for someone versatile and quick to pick up new skills. Because we’re a startup with people in different continents, we need people who can be independent and flexible, but also offer flexibility concerning your work schedule, location, and holidays.

===== Interested? =====
