## Job Summary

We're looking for a sharp engineer to work alongside a small team of developers and designers committed to building a robust, performant and scalable web application serving over 350 colleges and universities around the country. You have an attention to detail and a professional curiosity that extends beyond the workplace.

We use GitHub for version control and our infrastructure is entirely hosted via cloud services. We care about keeping our libraries up-to-date and test coverage. While most of our stack is on Rails today, we're comfortable with other technologies and always strive to use the right tool for the job.

This is a full-time position at our headquarters in Dallas, TX and includes a competitive base salary, a full range of benefits, stock options, and an awesome team of creative people by your side.

## Requirements

- Passion for developing excellent software and an appreciation for elegant code

- Strong understanding of web services and REST concepts

- Strong understanding of relational databases including complex queries and optimization

- Experience writing object-oriented software guided by tests

Desmos - San Francisco, CA

-- About us --

Desmos builds great math software. If you love math, write great code, and care about education, then we want to meet you.

Check out a sample graph at https://www.desmos.com/calculator/bbhzdbudoy if you haven't seen our calculator before.

-- Software Developer (calculator) --

The Desmos calculator lives entirely in the browser. It incorporates a realtime LaTeX WYSIWIG editor, includes a full compiler pipeline to interpret unstructured user math input and transform it into meaningful and efficiently-evaluable code, and makes extensive use of modern web technologies such as web workers and canvas rendering. The calculator core is modular and well-tested code which powers our free-to-use desktop, tablet, and mobile versions, used by millions of students, as well as driving our API, which many of the world's largest education companies use to power their graphing and math input. There's a lot to do to make the calculator faster, more powerful, more featureful and more beautiful, build out mobile apps, and continue to grow the calculator API.

We're not big into hard requirements, but a love of and interest in math is non-negotiable.

If this is the right job for you, you're probably also interested in numerical and geometric computation, compilers, code generation, performance optimization, API design, CAS implementation and graphics.

-- Software Developer (lessons) --

Desmos is redefining what online math content can look like by treating the creation of each lesson as software development. Each lesson we build has unique interactions, streams realtime data to other students and to the teacher dashboard, and has to work effectively across a wide range of devices. Basically, we're building a new app every few weeks, each one designed by our team of world-class educators and designers. If you're not excited by a never-ending stream of ready-to-build projects that will each make a significant impact on a specific area of math education, this is not the position for you.

We need to see a demonstrated ability to create high-quality interactive experiences rapidly, and a love of math and teaching.

Bonus points if you've produced and maintained code in a high-throughput / multi-product environment, developed complex single-page web apps, built complex touch interactions, or spent time as an educator.

-- Why Desmos --

Here's what it means to work at Desmos.

  * Great benefits: full medical and dental, catered lunch every day, unlimited vacation days whenever you need them.
  * Productive environment: no mandatory meetings, bureaucracy, or artificial barriers. Full transparency and participation in company goals and direction.
  * Competitive compensation: we offer substantial equity and competitive salary to every fulltime employee. We want everyone to feel both financially secure and deeply invested in the future of the company.
  * Work-life balance: we value results over hours, and sustainable, long-term success over short-term wins.
-- Apply --

If this sounds like you, send an email with resume to careers@desmos.com

SEEKING FREELANCERS -- Remote OK (We're based in Hong Kong, something within a few time-zones is preferable)

iRobot (http://www.irobot.com) - Bedford, MA (just outside of Boston, MA) and Pasadena, CA

Looking for great work-life balance at a job where you can say "I can't find my keyboard under all these robots!" ? Want a place with half-day Fridays during the summer so you can get to the beach on a Friday afternoon? Then iRobot might be the place for you.

We blend cutting-edge research and practical engineering to build useful and affordable robots.

We're looking for smart engineers who are easy to work with. You should probably think robots are cool, but a robotics background is NOT required. (I had no robotics background when I started at iRobot.)

iRobot is looking for software engineers and mechanical engineers.

Here are a few of our 20+ job openings:

* Embedded software engineers: We're hiring for "big embedded" (C++, Linux, and big cpus) and "small embedded" (C, bare-metal, small cpus). If you have good OO skills (C++, Java, etc.) but no "embedded" background that's okay too - shoot me an email and we'll chat.

* Software engineers for vision, navigation, and mapping

* Test engineers

* Mechanical engineers

* IT engineers

* UX/UI engineers

Check our jobs site for all positions: http://www.irobot.com/us/Company/Careers.aspx

The Pasadena, CA jobs show up on our jobs site with "Job Location: US" (as opposed to our Bedford, MA locations that say "Job Location: US-MA"). Sorry for the confusion; the web folks are aware of it and hopefully future listings will be fixed.

Email me directly if you'd like to know more: csvec@irobot.com

Please email even if you're not sure if you're a match; I'm always happy to talk to other HN'ers!

PS: We have hired people from these "Who is hiring?" posts, thanks to HN for this service/forum

One Codex (YC S14) – Genomic search and data platform. San Francisco, CA (https://www.onecodex.com).

  ==============
  == About Us ==
  ==============
We’re a software and biology start-up building a global data backbone and search platform for genomics – an essential piece of infrastructure for a world in which we increasingly understand health, disease, and our environment by transforming biology into data. Our first application area is pathogen detection – working with doctors, epidemiologists, and public health officials to identify and characterize the bacteria and viruses that threaten our health. And already, we’ve attracted users at many of the top public health and research organizations across the globe.

  ===============
  == About You ==
  ===============
We’re looking for talented software engineers to help us build towards our vision for a global genomics data network and enable widespread in silico diagnostics. Specifically, we’re interested in folks with a passion for and depth of experience in one or more of the following areas:

1) Full Stack Engineering: We will be building everything from developer-facing APIs to easy-to-use end applications for doctors and public health officials. You care about everything from elegant APIs to compelling data visualizations. Python experience preferred (we currently use Flask for our web backend).

2) Distributed Systems: We’re building systems for organizing and indexing billions to trillions of genomic fingerprints across the entire tree of life. You’re passionate about data structures, efficient computational solutions, and distributed systems (and don’t mind the occasional bit twiddling). We’ve built some cool initial tech in C, Nimrod, and Python (probabilistic data structures, Docker pipelines for reliably running bioinformatics workflows, etc.), and are excited about the extensive greenfield opportunities here.

3) Genomics / Computational Biology: We are tackling hard problems at the intersection of microbiology, genomics, statistics, and computer science. You have research experience or another strong connection to these fields, understand current bioinformatics tools and approaches (and their limits), and have worked extensively with next-generation sequencing data. Ideally, you also have some intuitions and strong hypotheses about how bioinformatics tools can scale for petabyte-sized reference sets.

  ===
You’ll be one of our first hires and directly shape our technology choices, product, and business. If you’re interesting in working on large-scale data challenges of both scientific and societal importance, please send us a note at careers@onecodex.com or reach out to me directly at nick@onecodex.com.
