Heap (YC W13) - Software Engineer - San Francisco or Remote

https://heapanalytics.com/jobs

=== What's Heap? ===

Heap is taking a new approach to web and iOS analytics: just capture everything. Whereas other analytics tools require you to define events upfront, Heap lets you run instant, retroactive analytics without writing code.

=== The Role ===

Your creativity and intelligence are much more important to us than your experience with our stack. We're eager to meet all types of engineers, regardless of where you live or what tools you use day-to-day.

We’d like to get to know you if:

* You enjoy teaching yourself whatever is necessary to build something.

* You plow through obstacles.

* You’ve written 10,000 lines of code that look really embarrassing in retrospect.

* You’ve written 10,000 lines of good code since then.

* You communicate ideas with clarity and precision.

* You make decisions with a preference for empiricism and measurement.

* You like fruit, sunshine, and bad jokes.

Our stack is Node + Redis + Postgres + Backbone + D3. Some things we're working on:

* Data capture. We’re integrating with more clients and frameworks, including Android, AngularJS, and Backbone.js, all with virtually no performance overhead or integration cost.

* Real-time infrastructure. We support an expressive set of queries that allow our users to slice and dice the data in arbitrary ways. The results need to come back with sub-second latencies and reflect up-to-the-minute data.

* Data visualization. Simple pre-generated graphs just don't cut it. There's an enormous number of ways to organize the data. Existing tools only scratch the surface.

Heap was in Y Combinator’s W13 batch. Soon after, we raised a $2M seed round from Ron Conway, Ram Shriram, Sam Altman, Garry Tan, Alexis Ohanian, Harj Taggar, and others.

We work in SF but are absolutely open to remote engineers. Email us at jobs@heapanalytics.com with reasons as to why you'd make a great fit.

The service being offered at this company looks pretty interesting. The quick start example looks very reasonable (I didn't sign up to run, but I guess it must all work out). I was kind of confused though about finding and/or registering reagents and cell strains. How do you do this? It would be nice if there were another quick start example that completes some kind of standard growth assay for a verified bacterial strain (does Transcriptic have a strain library?) in one or two different media types. As a potential customer this is the sort of proof of concept example that I would want to see before pursuing anything further.
