Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2022)

We are searching for a talented, curious, and self-motivated engineer to join our software engineering team in building the most advanced production-scale synthetic biology platform on the planet. R&D at Amyris is a highly multidisciplinary effort, where we need brilliant contributions from every area of the life sciences and engineering disciplines in order to take projects from concept to market. From hacking directly on DNA in the lab to full scale factory production, every aspect of our work is facilitated and accelerated by software and hardware automation. Our tools integrate the activities of scientists, engineers, and industrial robots to enable the rapid optimization of genetic designs and laboratory processes.

Among the tools we have developed are a CAD/CAM system for genetic engineering: a compiler toolchain whose target architecture is life itself. This stack physically integrates high level genetic modules into microbial hosts. We also derive novel strains through random mutagenesis and directed evolution. Using our custom control platform, we then subject these experimental organisms to high throughput performance screening in our state-of-the-art robot labs.

Responsibilities: Design, develop and maintain web based application written in Python. Collaborate with scientists to transform an understanding of their workflow into designs and implementations of appropriate data models and user interfaces. Effectively communicate with research scientists. Apply best practices of software development throughout your work, while staying abreast of advances in the practice.

Qualifications: 8+ years of professional programming experience Strong coding skills in either Python or a similar language. Ideally deep experience in multiple languages. In addition to Python, Amyris has codebases in F#, R and PHP (phasing out, but still have some important legacy code). Experience with full-stack web application development, including coding skills in Javascript, CSS and HTML. Relational database design and coding experience. We use PostgreSQL and SQL Server, though we also treat plasmids and chromosomes as datastores. Experience developing software in a Unix environment. Dev tools are chosen at the developer’s discretion, but most of the software development and all production deployment is on Linux (Ubuntu). Fluent Linux command-line skills. Interest and ability to communicate with scientists Excellent written and verbal communication skills

At Amyris, we believe that diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) is essential to our core values. We embrace and encourage an equity-minded work culture, knowing that it is the driving force of innovation that positively impacts our employees, consumers, and communities. And for Amyris, a sense of belonging is what drives our mission forward and is the foundation of everything we do, ensuring a healthier, more sustainable future for us all. Make Good, No Compromise.

Avatars are a reflection of our true selves, allowing people to choose how they present themselves to the world. We combine AI and ML with off-the-shelf hardware to empower 3D content and creativity for artists, fans, and creators. We believe this marriage between art and technology will enable an entirely new set of online experiences. We aim to radically democratize access to these tools and enable a customizable digital presence for a new generation of creators.

We are excited to announce that we are part of the Sequoia Arc program and are looking for people to help take us to the next level. Broadly, we are interested in:

  * 3D artists intimately familiar with face-rigging and building environments for Unreal/Three.js/Unity
  * People who can work on our our ML/AI stack
  * Product Designers

MethaneSAT, part of the Environmental Defense Fund, is a non-profit launching a purpose-built methane-detection satellite in 2023. In partnership with scientists at Harvard and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, our goal is to measure methane emissions with unprecedented precision and deliver actionable data to organizations around the globe with the power to curb them. Today there exists a lack of space-based methane detection, yet reducing methane is the most significant lever we have to slow climate change in the coming decades. MethaneSAT will help fill that gap.

Who we're looking for: a Senior DevOps/SRE to help design and develop cloud infrastructure (GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes) for the satellite's mission systems, image processing pipeline, and more.

Who we are: an experienced team of engineers passionate about using cutting-edge technology to help mitigate anthropogenic climate change. We're generously funded by millions of donors from around the world, which gives us the freedom to focus on our mission. MethaneSAT's data will always be published free of charge.

Clear Street is building modern infrastructure for capital markets. Outdated technology makes markets difficult and expensive to access. We're fixing that.

We started with prime brokerage, in an industry that has struggled to see any real innovation in decades. Our cloud-native, prime brokerage platform has redefined what it means to work with a prime broker - improving access, speed, and service to our clients.

We want to continue that change across all capital markets. Today, we offer institutions, professional traders, and brokers everything they need to trade U.S. equities and options. In the future, our platform will give all types of investors access to every major product in every major market.

We're excited to announce our recent Series B, valuing Clear Street at $1.7B! Check out more details here: https://medium.com/clear-street/this-is-only-the-beginning-b...

Evidos is the market leader in EU digital signatures. Help us bring the next wave of removing paper work from any business. Recently we've been acquired by entrust.com and we are ready to scale on all frontiers. Most notably, bringing signed documents from many thousands a day to millions a day.

We're looking for experienced devs with a passion for programming. We don't do meetings, you do meetings when you deem them necessary. You know C# and git well and bring us your passion on other tools to solve our problems.

We scale by having event-sourced services that are eventually consistent.

Process: 1) screening call 2) coding exercise you get paid for 3) tech interview 4) reference checks

Open roles: ► Build engineer ► Developer ► Security-minded developer
