Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2020)

"Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come with me and change the world?"

Join us on our mission to change the world! McLaren College is an online school designed to identify and train people in poor countries for software engineering careers who otherwise would not have such an opportunity. We do not charge any up-front fees for our course; our fees are charged as a percentage of a student's income after they graduate (or complete at least 60% of the course). We enrolled our first batch of students for our Flutter and React programming course in September 2019 and are scheduled to start our second, much larger batch in October 2020.

If you have a passion for programming and helping others, please consider applying for one of these roles:

1. Senior Online Teacher: https://mclarencollege.in/jobs/online-teacher.html

2. Teaching Assistant: https://mclarencollege.in/jobs/online-teaching-assistant.htm...

Alternatively if you don't know a Set from a Map, check out our Operations Manager role: https://mclarencollege.in/jobs/operations-manager.html

Send your CV to jobs@mclarencollege.in including the role you are applying for and let us know how you heard about the role (ie. on HN).

Hi, I’m Thomas and I’m Director of Engineering at 98point6. We’re hiring for a number of roles, like Product Security Engineer, Engineering Manager, and Senior Software Engineer, ML. Our goal is to make access to primary care as easy as googling something, without needing to make a financial tradeoff. We were seeing exciting growth before COVID-19 and that growth has accelerated even more as we help support the response to this global pandemic in the US. Some quick mentions of the technology we’re using: all our infra is in AWS, IaC using CDK (and some Terraform), Typescript, Kotlin, DynamoDB, and PostgreSQL. We are usually ONSITE in the office. During Covid, we are fully remote. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Octant is decoding biology’s complexity to build better drugs by engineering biology itself. We combine large-scale synthetic biology, functional genomics, multiplexed assays, high-throughput chemistry and computation to design multi-targeted drugs towards some of our most vexing diseases. You can read more about our mission here: https://www.octant.bio/blog/introducing-octant

We are now looking to hire our first SWE to help bring our software practice to the next level. We have many computational scientists and biologists who code, but we now need to get more serious about laying the foundation for our software stack. You will design and build internal products and tools that push the boundaries of synthetic biology, genomics, and drug discovery; manage and improve our codebase, data models, warehousing, pipelines, software architecture, and systems.

To give some examples of what we do on the software side, check out our recent open sourced work for COVID-19 testing called SwabSeq: https://www.octant.bio/swabseq or our plasmid sequencing workflow called Octopus: https://www.octant.bio/blog/2019/9/29/octopus

We are also hiring for a Synthetic Biology Platform Engineer. We are looking for people excited to scale DevOps in Synthetic Biology working on scaling our platform by combining molecular multiplexing and automation. You can read more about our platform here: https://www.octant.bio/blog/2020/9/14-octants-multiplexing-s...

Team/Stage: We are a ~30-person team (https://www.octant.bio/team) and are backed by many of the top VCs that cross the boundaries on technology and bio including A16Z, 8VC, Lux, Refactor Capital, SV Angel and more. We are full of people that cross disciplinary boundaries, and we are looking for more that are energized by that kind of environment.

I’m the founder/CEO. Happy to answer any questions here. You can also contact me directly here on HN, on twitter (@srikosuri), or my first name (sri) at our domain name.

Located in the heart of Munich, we strive to create a modern and flexible software platform for collaborative project management.

We can offer you:

- very competitive salary

- an international team with both young and experienced members (some employees are here since the beginning)

- no-BS approach with pretty flat hierarchy

- subsidized German classes

- perks (2x per year company events, free coffee & tea, table tennis...)

- company table in nearby Augustiner Biergarten
