MongoDB, Inc. in New York City, Palo Alto, and worldwide. H1B welcome. We make the open-source document database. Virtually all the software we make is open source. We solve very hard problems using C++, C, Java, Python, and a half-dozen other languages. I'm a Python programmer who's been working here for two years, it's the best gig I've had, and I've had many. Do you like coding, blogging, speaking at conferences,…

Saw you on here last month and popped resumes in for the Technical Consultant and Tech Writer roles; radio silence ever since. Possible that something went wrong?

Counsyl - South San Francisco, CA

REMOTE, H1B, INTERN

Our goal is to make the human genome practically useful for life-altering decisions.

We've invented the Counsyl Test, a breakthrough diagnostic intended for parents planning to start a family. The test won the Wall Street Journal Innovation Award for Medicine, was named one of Scientific American's "Top 10 World Changing Ideas," and was featured in the New York Times. Our test is now prescribed by physicians for more than 12% of all carrier screens in the United States.

The cost of sequencing human genomes is plunging - over 5x faster than the cost of computing; the potential impact on preventive healthcare and the medical landscape is boundless. The science is there but the scale isn't. That's where Counsyl comes in. We are building the technology platform to make genomics useful and accessible to everyone.

TechCrunch article: http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/23/counsyl

The vast majority of our operations are powered by our own custom-built infrastructure on a Python/Django/Postgres stack, from ordering to lab processing to billing. We’re building new tools, new workflows, and new infrastructure to solve the challenging problems of a technology startup involved with not just bits, but also interconnected physical components like lab robotics and patient samples.

Don’t be intimidated if you don’t have a genomics background; solving these problems fundamentally requires software solutions. We’re looking for the best and brightest software engineers — strong generalists with solid CS fundamentals and practical software engineering intuition — to help us scale up genomics to billions of users.

Prerequisites:

- BS, MS or PhD in Computer Science or equivalent experience - Strong software engineering fundamentals: design, testing, version control - Significant independent programming experience as demonstrated by a GitHub account, personal web page, or prior experience.

We like to see experience with:

- Python, Django, CoffeeScript, Backbone.js, Bootstrap, HTML5, CSS - NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn -Relational database systems, such as PostgreSQL - Unix, Git, and other command line tools

Iterable (http://iterable.com) - San Francisco, CA.

Come join Iterable, the next generation email optimization company.

Email usage is changing, but the technology and capabilities haven't caught up to the 21st century. We're a small team of hackers and thinkers who are creating the next generation email optimization platform. Our team has experience at big tech companies (Twitter, Google, SIG) and we want to bring and improve the technology that powers user growth and commerce at these places to everyone. This means writing code that improves the lives of our customers (series seed and series A companies) and their millions of email subscribers.

One of our top level goals is to build a uniquely fun and growth oriented company culture. This is a journey, not a rat race. Knowledge sharing in any capacity is highly valued here -- are you interested in prediction markets or PGP encryption? Do you enjoy teaching posture techniques or purely functional data structures to others? We pair program, design together, and generally create a learn-and-teach environment here.

If you're interested in coming on board, you can help with some challenges we face: - Scale our API to beyond millions of requests - Design and write performant, beautiful interfaces - Write software to build machine learned user models - Make data visualizations for our email and user data - Design an immutable infrastructure for our platform

Some aspects of our culture that make us different: - We are all very focused on self improvement - Our company has egalitarian and transparent values: work when you want, on what you want. - We are chill and empathetic people - The company is completely transparent

You'll get to work with us at our office at Kleiner Perkins' startup incubation space in SoMa.

If this sounds like an interesting opportunity for you, please email me. -- girish at iterable.com
