Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2019)

O(1) Labs | San Francisco, CA | Engineering Manager, Platform Engineer, Protocol Engineer | Full Time | Onsite | https://codaprotocol.com

At O(1) Labs, we're building the Coda Protocol, the first cryptocurrency to have a constant-sized blockchain. We use recursive zk-SNARKs to compress historic state in Coda's blockchain so that nodes don't have to store all the data going back to the first transaction. Compare this to Bitcoin or Ethereum whose blockchains already have hundreds of GBs of data, and keep growing.

We're excited about this tech because it allows all the nodes in a network to be full nodes (no SPV's!) and enables applications that can use the entire blockchain embedded in a phone or a browser. We're well funded and backed by some of the top investors in the crypto / blockchain space.

I'm on the product team, and we're looking for both product and protocol engineers - but you can find all the roles we're hiring for here - https://codaprotocol.com/jobs.html. Our stack is OCaml on the protocol side, and ReasonML + React on the front-end. All of our code is open source - https://github.com/codaprotocol/coda.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or want to meet in person for a coffee, if you're based in the bay area. My email is pranay@o1labs.org.

Intel (Quartus FPGA compiler) | Toronto, ON, Canada

Interested in working on algorithmically-complex C++ code to squeeze out every last bit of performance? Understanding the hardware as well as the software, and building a mission-critical tool used daily by digital circuit designers? Actually using advanced computer science knowledge outside of interviews and programming competitions to optimize graph-based algorithms simultaneously for runtime, memory, and quality of the resulting solution? Then working on Quartus, Intel's compiler for FPGAs, is for you.

You will work in a downtown Toronto location, with an amazing and diverse group of talented engineers, on some of the most intellectually challenging problems in the world, and your work will directly benefit areas like AI, telecommunications, healthcare, aerospace, finance and more.

I am looking to hire specifically for the Timing Analysis team, which is responsible for both a user-visible Timing Analysis tool (used by digital designers to analyze timing problems) and the highly-optimized internal timing engine, which responds to millions of requests during a typical circuit compilation.

Hardware/FPGA knowledge is not required. Ideally, I am looking for some combination of the following: (1) ability to reason about algorithms and code optimization, (2) experience writing well-crafted C++ code as part of a large codebase, and (3) a passion for usability / caring deeply about the customer experience. My colleagues are hiring for other roles. Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents preferred.

Please feel free to ask any questions here in comments, or send a resume to evgeny dot osovetsky at my company name dot com.
