Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2017)

Root is an auto insurance company, like GEICO and Progressive. We use data science to identify and insure good drivers, reducing insurance premiums for good drivers significantly as a result.

We're a startup — we're 30 people who have been working on this since March 2015. We've built an iOS and Android app that gathers data on how well people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible product and user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.

We raised a $7M Series A from Drive Capital in 2015 and we're looking to bring on a couple more talented engineers. Tech stack involves Ruby / Rails and Javascript / React Native. Email us at jobs@joinroot.com

SciTec is a R&D-focused small business that develops new algorithms to analyze remote sensor data. We're looking for developers to help create, develop, and deliver new high-throughput data processing algorithms, from R&D prototypes all the way into production environments. Key areas of expertise we're looking for include:

* Numerical computing using C/C++, MATLAB, and Python * High-throughput distributed computing systems * Orchestration using Docker on DC/OS

More than specific technologies, we’re looking for developers who are willing to dive into complex problems, work across multiple technology stacks, and help us keep moving algorithms out of the lab and into real-world use. Strong communication skills and systems engineering expertise are key.

If this sounds interesting to you, we have two open positions available:

* Remote Sensing Software Developer (2+ years experience, position focused on development). APPLY: https://scitec.workable.com/j/DAD68207C0

* Scientific Application Architect (7+ years experience, position focused on team leadership and systems engineering). APPLY: https://scitec.workable.com/j/57AEE55BCB
