Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2020)

InnoVint | Wine Production Software | www.innovint.us | Remote (US-based) | FT | Front End Developer

InnoVint is the world's leading SaaS solution for wineries and wine producers. We are and have always been a well-performing, tight knit virtual team that meets several times a year in the real world (usually a wine destination!). About half the team has some wine production experience. If you love the idea of being part of the wine industry, but haven't yet considered combining your experience in SaaS and tech, maybe InnoVint is the perfect company for you. If you are a reformed or aspiring winemaker, that's even better!

We're seeking a passionate Front End Developer to help build the foundation of a new cutting-edge PWA. You will be working in parallel with our existing front end team to lead the development of this new mobile web platform. You should be excited to learn more about the latest developments in the progressive web app space, including offline data storing, cacheing, and performance optimizations. Our stack is Angular 10/Typescript & Python/Django/PostgreSQL.

If you're interested in helping us delight our winemaking clients with the wine industry's best software and most passionate team, I'd love to hear from you. Please send it to directly to me (Dan, the CTO) at dan @ innovint.us

Scribd | Software Engineers | San Francisco, Toronto, Amsterdam | ONSITE or REMOTE | VISA

Scribd is a reading subscription that gives you access to the best books, audiobooks, magazines, and more. Our mission is to change how the world reads. A year ago we hit 1M paying subscribers (https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/28/scribd-1-million-subscribe...). Last month we acquired SlideShare (https://techcrunch.com/2020/08/11/scribd-acquires-slideshare...). We are one of the oldest YC startups (YC ’06), operating one of the largest Ruby on Rails sites.

Scribd has a very friendly, engineering-driven company culture with competitive salary and great benefits. We are ambitious but at the same time we value a good work life balance. In general we care way more about your personality, communication, and hacking skills than what languages and technologies you’ve used so far.

We are hiring software engineers across the board (see https://www.scribd.com/careers), including:

If you are interested in taking us forward to build Payments for the future, we are hiring for two positions : https://jobs.lever.co/scribd/9a29a357-4a39-47f0-a79a-b4c77b1... and https://jobs.lever.co/scribd/5743db19-7a5e-4875-af2f-1be8def...

We are looking for folks who have a passion for developing data pipelines on modern data engineering platforms. Experience with streaming technologies and Spark are a strong plus.

Sana Biotechnology | Engineered cells as medicines | sana.com | San Francisco, Seattle, Cambridge | Full-time | Computational Engineer

We believe we are entering a new era of medicine. The ability to modify genes and use cells as medicines provides new tools to meaningfully change the outcome of many human diseases. Three aspirations drive Sana: repair and control genes in any cell; replace any cell in the body; and tear down barriers to accessing out therapies.

The Computational Engineering team has several openings for engineers to help us build out our production infrastructure. Paraphrasing Russ Cox's definition of software engineering (https://research.swtch.com/vgo-eng), our team is what happens to computational biology, cloud infrastructure, and lab automation when you add time and other teams. Beyond being a polyglot coder (Python, R, Nextflow, Terraform), we're looking for people who can have productive discussions about version control strategies, test frameworks, deployment strategies, and documentation tools and then get behind the team's decisions and move things forward.

You can find info about the openings here:

* Computational Engineer: https://sana.com/join-us/jobs/4828253002/

* Computational Engineer, LIMS: https://sana.com/join-us/jobs/4828249002/

If you've made it this far but neither of those are the right fit, you might be interested in:

* Senior Scientist, Computational Biology: https://sana.com/join-us/jobs/4589575002/

* Senior Scientist, Statistics: https://sana.com/join-us/jobs/4828246002/
