#162Notion – San Francisco
"We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us"
The goal is to democratize software. Quite a shame that 30 years into personal computing, an average person's interaction still caps at word-processing. We'd like to change that.
A beautiful loft/artist office in the Mission. Best investors out there. Right now there are 5 of us.
You will be part of the founding team. You need to be able to make things and think conceptually.

Someone please answer this. Thanks.

#166Back-end web developer - Cambridge/Boston or New York City strongly preferred - PersonalGenomes.org 501(c)(3) / Open Humans (http://openhumans.org)
As the Senior Software Engineer at PersonalGenomes.org you will work on the Open Humans Network, a project that aims to help people aggregate and share their health and trait data to advance scientific, educational and humanitarian causes.
Our model for this initiative is the work we’ve done on the Harvard Personal Genome Project (PGP), which has over 3,000 volunteers publicly sharing extensive biological and trait data, including hundreds of whole genomes, exomes, and genotyping data sets, over 1,000 health records, microbiome datasets from various bodily habitats, device data, brain imaging, etc. This combination of a highly informed and engaged community of volunteers and their contributions of extremely rich biological and health data, along with a network of collaboration-minded researchers, is an incredibly powerful scientific and educational resource that is unrivaled elsewhere. We will build on this momentum with this exciting new initiative that will transform participatory research and advance human health.
Our current hiring position is focusing on someone with back-end web development skills, as we have plans to work with a design firm for initial front-end work. Because we plan to develop open source software used by researchers, we believe Python (which many scientists use) is generally preferred.
We're looking for someone who...
-- Is interested in building and managing a full-stack website. As the Senior Software Engineer, your expertise will be an important factor in decisions about what kind of technology is used and how it’s deployed.
-- Has used multiple programming languages to build production systems (e.g. Python, JavaScript, Ruby).
-- Is experienced with back-end web development (e.g. Django or Rails).
-- Is comfortable managing Unix servers, cloud-based services and has opinions about how to store and disseminate large datasets (currently around 50TB total, although we would start with managing -- Works well in a small team of developers and scientists.
-- Loves science, participatory research, and free/open source ideals.
-- Believes in our mission!
About us: PersonalGenomes.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to generate, aggregate and interpret human biological and trait data on an unprecedented scale. PersonalGenome.org's mission is to make a wide spectrum of data about humans accessible to increase biological literacy and improve human health. Its efforts are informed by values encouraging greater transparency and collaboration between researchers and participants. The organization supports the Personal Genome Project (PGP) global network. The first PGP research study was founded at Harvard Medical School in 2005, and PGP sites now exist at leading institutions in four countries. We also produce the annual Genomes, Environments and Traits (GET) Conference. More information is available at http://www.personalgenomes.org
About Open Humans: We have years of practical experience, thousands of participants, and diverse data sets accrued. What we need now is an experienced developer to help us build a site for participants and researchers to manage and publicly share this data. Think of this as a nonprofit startup project!

#167We're Hiring at Prismatic (getprismatic.com)
The office is located in SOMA in San Francisco.
=============
Frontend Engineer at Prismatic: iOS, Web, and Android. http://boards.greenhouse.io/prismatic/jobs/5971
==
Strong CS basics in data structures and algorithms. Strong engineering; thoughtful design and clean code. Graphics, browser, games, or animation experience a big plus.
A front-end engineer that has a strong computer science background, but wants to focus on product engineering rather than backend systems. You don’t want to just take off the shelf UI components, but want to explore new interactions. You aren’t afraid to dig under the hood of iOS frameworks or browser code in order to make an animation or interaction feel natural and smooth.
=============
Backend Engineer at Prismatic: http://boards.greenhouse.io/prismatic/jobs/5976
==
Prismatic is a great place to be a backend engineer - we analyze millions of shared web pages every day, automatically classify them into tens of thousands of topics, and serve up personalized feeds in real-time using our homegrown, lightning fast, machine learning-based relevance engine. We are looking to grow our top-notch team, with both junior and senior-level positions available.
We are looking for engineers with deep interest and knowledge in at least one area core to our business (i.e., distributed systems, ops and tooling, machine learning, designing and building new product features). We’re a small team, so you will have the opportunity to have a lot of impact, and to learn from peers who are extremely talented engineers, computer scientists, and data experts. Our backend is written entirely in Clojure, a JVM-based LISP that is a dream to work in. Almost none of us knew it before we joined, and we don’t expect you to either. We do, however, expect the following:
- You live and die by good abstractions. You know that they can make the difference between easily understandable and maintainable code, and a spaghetti mess. - You think about edge cases and performance implications, and anticipate future needs. - You read and understand existing code before diving in and adding your own. You re-use existing code whenever possible, cleaning it up as needed to be more generally useful. - You know when to do it fast, when to do it right, and how to find the best compromise between the two. - You recognize that we are all stewards of the codebase, not owners. You leave code better than you found it, and you fix bugs without grumbling about whose they are. - You are a team player who enjoys discussing ideas and implementations with other engineers.
Here’s a small sampling of the things you will be working on as a member of the Prismatic backend team:
- Making our crawlers and document analysis better and more comprehensive - Building out new product features in our API - Solving tough systems problems to help us scale reliably and robustly - Building and improving Machine Learning systems for ranking, document analysis, and more - Creating tools to assist development and ops - Shipping some of the best open-source Clojure libraries out there, and working with the community to make them better

Hi! right now since it's still the early set of people for the team and we're establishing the culture, we're looking primarily for people who will be fully on board full-time. in the future I think we might reach a point where part-time could start to work. Hope that helps, let me know if I can answer anything else :-)
