Genpax | Full-stack/product engineer | London, UK | ONSITE (hybrid/flexible) | https://www.genpax.co/

We're building a game-changing bacterial analysis platform. Using bioinformatics, we can help hospitals take early and effective action against outbreaks of MRSA and other pathogens.

Our goal is to radically increase the utility, scalability, and speed with which whole genome sequencing (WGS) data delivers infection control solutions for human and animal healthcare worldwide. This will enable proactive control at early stages of outbreaks, and appropriate responses to more dangerous or more antibiotic resistant strains. We have developed a unique solution to address the challenges and our goal is to provide access to these solutions in a fully scalable system.

I'm looking for an experienced full-stack (/'product') engineer to join our small engineering team - initially to focus on building out a novel interactive tree-based UI. There are some interesting challenges throughout the stack. We're using Python, GraphQL, React/TypeScript, Postgres and AWS, but open minded to adopting technologies that make sense.

Ideal candidates would:

  - Have an interest in working in BioTech/HealthTech (experience not necessary)
  - Have a strong academic background
  - Be based in/around London
  - Be self-motivated, and have experience working in a high-output team
  - Mention these things when getting in touch (and not be CC-ing every e-mail address on this page!)
£55-100k + equity, based on experience.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It would appear that it's making it less desireable even for natives to continue being settled.

Where are they going? The US is famously hard to get into for foreigners wanting to work, as is Australia really. Are they working in the EU, or nomading?

Those from the eu are moving back to the eu, and those with skills in demand that hold british citizenship only and cant leave find remote work in the us or the eu. The uk contract market which used to be the ultimate goal for highly skilled engineers is getting slaughtered by silly regulation that pushes work either to outsourcing companies or, surprise surprise, to remote workers from the eu.

For instance, when i speak with folks from east europe they tell me there are remote jobs available from … the uk (somehow remote within uk is not ok, remote outside is). With a pay gap of roughly 20-30% that means that due to the cost of living and taxes being lower their pay is significantly higher than pay within the uk. The reasons companies outsource or externalise are because hiring contract workers is a tax nightmare (have to prove they are not disguised employees, otherwise rates would be much higher since the worker will have to pay as much tax as an employee..although non employee taxation is also pretty high, because eat the “rich”).

Then you have companies that hire locally in a crappy hybrid setup. As if anyone with skills in demand is going to uproot their family or want to live in expensive london only to work on crappy agiled to death products, where the only challenges are getting the process to work instead of solving actual problems.

It feels as if this country is making one wrong choice after the other. Brexit was one of them but since then there are plenty more.

I do believe that things can turn around, and as such, I will call out what i think damages progress any time i see it.

Hybrid or onsite that’s forcing people to return to an overcrowded over expensive city such as london is one of them. Get real and grow up, the world has moved on from wanting to piss their money away on commutes and rents, and the tech for remote is already here.

Open edX / OpenCraft | Full-time | TRUE REMOTE (async/worldwide) | Senior Open Source Developer on Open edX - React, Python/Django, AWS/Kubernetes

Do you care about contributing to open-source, and appreciate a good challenge? We do too! :)

Open-source

We are a team of veteran open-source developers, working on educational and community-based projects in an open-first environment – and we are looking for new members. By joining us, you will work full-time on open-source, pushing your changes to free software projects upstream through pull requests, contributing features, documentation, or help on public forums.

We care deeply about contributing our work upstream. You will see the results of your work reused and recognized across the educational community, increasing access to quality education for everyone, everywhere.

Remote-first

Unlike companies who reluctantly started to accept remote workers recently, we have embraced it from day 1. For the past 7 years, we have based and refined our way of working around remote-friendly workflows, from the ground up. No day-long video meetings, mandatory work hours, or risk of being forced back into an office one day -- as long as you have a good internet connection, it’s none of our business when or where you work from. :)

We are all working remotely, from all continents (except Antarctica, at least so far - applicants welcome!). We use remote-friendly and timezone-agnostic workflows based on asynchronous principles and good documentation practices.

Online education

We are one of the main contributors to the Open edX project, the main open-source MOOC platform created by MIT, Harvard and many other top universities. It powers sites like edX.org, the MIT Open Learning Library, and the national online learning platform for France. We provide development and hosting for institutions like Harvard Medical School, Harvard LabXchange, Cloudera, Autodesk, and several governments. We are not affiliated with edX.org, but we contribute and work with them on various projects.

Our handbook, like much of our work, is publicly viewable and you can find it at https://handbook.opencraft.com/.

Apply for this Position

PostHog | Full-Time | Distributed systems engineer lead, full stack and ex technical founder engineers | Remote (all remote) | Hiring GMT-8 to GMT+1

PostHog helps engineers build better products. we launched on HN during a YC batch in 2020 and have been growing very fast ever since.

* open source, building a dev tool. We have a public handbook (posthog.com/handbook) if you want to learn how we work, pay and more in complete detail.

* we are a real business... nearly at $10M ARR / profitability in sight / lots of capital

* we are growing through more autonomy and transparency not through process.

* we are under a ton of pipeline pressure due to how much we've grown usage (~5x per year at the moment) - we need help rewriting our ingestion for the next 2 years of scale whilst dealing with 1 million events/minute being ingested. this will be very hard, but it is the _biggest_ challenge our company faces. revenue and growth are coming easily.

* goal is to build a company worth $10s of billions, by building wide first (we are the all in one platform with lots of tools) then going upmarket way later (similar product and go to market to Atlassian). we grow entirely through word of mouth and content marketing, not from outbound sales.

* we need: a distributed systems engineer to lead our pipeline team. you'll be working alongside experienced people who've worked at places like datadog/meta/twitter in this small team (currently 4 people).

* we are also hiring: ex technical founders and front-end oriented full stack engineers!
