Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2019)

Underdog.io builds software that helps job seekers find meaningful work at technology companies. Since launching in April 2014, we’ve connected thousands of candidates with hundreds of growing organizations in New York and San Francisco.

We’re hiring a full-stack engineer to push forward with our mission to support job seekers by providing tools and information to help them make informed decisions about where to work.

In this full-stack role, you'll move between frontend, backend, and DevOps on our Python and JavaScript-based stack to improve and expand our hiring platform. Here’s a look at the type of work that you'll be doing with us:

* Building tools for job seekers to have more agency and transparency in their job search.

* Building tools for companies to connect with the right candidates each week and support positive interactions with candidates.

* Helping to define product development and engineering practices at an early-stage startup.

* Making a large impact on the direction of our product as part of a small and agile team.

* Making use of agile and collaborative engineering methodologies and practices (Scrum, XP, continuous integration, test-driven development) to quickly deliver fully-fleshed features to our users without compromising code quality.

* Writing clean frontend code that enables a seamless and fast experience for our users.

* Designing and shipping services that support our internal and external products.

We’re looking for someone who’s comfortable working with tools like these:

* Frontend: JavaScript (ES6+ with Babel), TypeScript, React, Redux, CSS-in-JS, Webpack, Node, Express

* Backend: Python, Flask, SQLAlchemy, Celery

* Data: PostgreSQL, Redis

* Infrastructure: Docker, AWS, Jenkins

Knowing all of these specific tools and technologies isn’t a hard requirement, so please still reach out if you’re not 100% up-to-speed with everything listed here.

Email chris+hn@underdog.io if you're interested in learning more. No agencies, recent grads, or visa candidates, please.

About us:

Despite its significant potential for improving patient outcomes, brain monitoring is still not easily accessible or interpretable in clinical settings. We're going to fix that, and we'd like you to help.

We're a stealth-mode startup founded by numerical programmers, neuroscientists, and practicing neurologists who are committed to translating our best-of-breed clinical research from the lab into the ICU and ED. We're well-funded, well-connected, and own a well-labeled set of brain data amassed over the past decade at some of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world. This dataset is, as far as we know, the largest of its kind in existence. We intend to put it to good use.

Our team is composed of open-source enthusiasts, former audio/DSP engineers, programming language nerds, and generally easy-going, fun-loving, dedicated folks.

About you:

- You know that product development goes off the rails without rapid, early feedback from real users.

- You believe that honesty and frequent, open communication are more signficant contributors to software development than technical wizardy.

- You believe that "looks great" does not necessarily equal "feels great", and that the latter is higher priority (but your favorite applications accomplish both!).

- You want to build tools that help people help others in critical environments.

- You feel that diversity is an integral part of strong engineering culture. Differing viewpoints are borne from differing backgrounds, and lack of diversity contributes to stagnation.

- You're annoyed that modern websites ship megabytes of unnecessary dependencies to user's browsers. You're painfully aware of the difference between "DRY" as an important guiding principle of software development, and "DRY" as a cargo-cult mentality used to justify lazy over-coupling of code.

- You simultaneously hate and love Javascript, and are excited about various LLVM-based languages' recent progress targeting WebAssembly.

- You nerd out about content-specific adaptive streaming and compression techniques.

- You think Observable notebooks are really cool.

- You have a battle-tested workflow for debugging performance issues and deciding which layer of the stack merits optimization.

- From a front-end perspective, you recognize the tension in the development feedback loop between client-side software and a back-end service ecosystem, and derive immense satisfaction from improving development processes to relieve those tensions.

- You're intimately familiar with the lifecycle of software components - from experiment, to prototype, to an incremental release schedule.

- You sigh at bullet-pointed job descriptions that try to prescribe visceral emotional reactions to technical opinions.

Our data science team makes heavy use of the Julia language, and are still experimenting with various parts of our tech stack. Come help us make the right decisions!
