Voltus | Full Stack/Backend | NY/Remote | Full-Time

We are a team of engineers and energy experts working to get our customers paid for using less energy. Our customers are energy consumers (factories, skyscrapers, warehouses, steel mills...) who will commit to curtailing their demand on a signal from us. We aggregate those "curtailable" buildings into virtual power plants that we sell to utilities and other buyers in wholesale energy markets, splitting the revenue with our customers. Our virtual power plants are cleaner and cheaper than the coal and oil plants they replace.

Along the way we have to solve some hard problems:

    - trade energy in an international patchwork of wholesale power markets
    - convince a wide variety of factory foreman and building managers to cease their operations when they would really rather not
    - make hundreds of commercial and industrial buildings behave like a single, reliable generator in every way

We're currently hiring for full-stack and backend roles--check our posts for more info. https://www.voltus.co/join-us

UsabilityHub | Melbourne, Australia | Senior Software Engineers | Full-time | Onsite

UsabilityHub is hiring senior engineers to join our team in Melbourne. If you’re not familiar, we help businesses (including Amazon, NASA, and Reddit) be more human-centered by making user research easy to conduct and fun to participate in.

We’re a bootstrapped, profitable, and sustainable company, with a focus on building great products, not chasing growth for the sake of it.

Ideally you’re a generalist who is capable across back-end (Ruby, Rails, Postgres) and front-end (Typescript, React, Redux, Webpack), but if you specialize in one area and are still getting up to speed in the other, don’t let that dissuade you from applying. It’s more meaningful to us that you’re a great developer and a keen learner.

We’re offering…

- Competitive salary

- Employee profit sharing

- Choice of working 4 day week, 9 day fortnight or full-time hours

- Flexibility around working from home

- Generous paid parental leave (14 wks primary / 6 wks secondary)

- Warm, friendly and relaxed team

For more info, and to apply, see the full job listing: https://usabilityhub.com/careers/senior-fullstack-engineer

Ought | https://ought.org | Engineering Team Lead | San Francisco (onsite)

We're a non-profit AI research lab. Our goal is to make machine learning solve tasks where success can’t be reduced to a simple metric. We're working towards a future where ML is as helpful for open-ended questions like “Should I get this medical procedure?” and “What career is right for me” as it is for optimizing ad click-through rates.

The core pillar of our research is Mosaic, an app for decomposing thinking about hard questions into small subtasks. We compositionally build complex thoughts out of simple pieces. We want to get to the point where automated aggregation of individual thoughts leads to something that is more than the sum of the pieces.

Humboldt talked about natural language as a system that "makes infinite use of finite means" -- an infinite number of sentences can be created using a finite number of grammatical rules. As engineering team lead at Ought, you're working on mechanisms that have similar flexible compositionality.

We'll pay a $5,000 referral bonus to whoever refers the person we end up hiring (careers@ought.org, terms: https://bit.ly/2lw3Q8w). Our benefits and compensation package are at market with similar roles in the Bay Area.

Lol, I'm from Mississauga too - We were your competitors; www.blip.delivery and worked with lots of construction companies in Toronto who wanted to do same-day deliveries.

I ended up selling the company to a customer, but it's really cool to see another company in the space, who's also in the same city as we were!
