Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2015)

Karius | Menlo Park, CA | ONSITE, Full-time | Software (Full Stack), Computational Biology, Wet-lab Automation, Machine Learning

We are a team of crazy biologists, engineers, data scientists and clinicians on a mission to change forever the way infectious diseases are diagnosed and treated. We face incredibly interesting challenges in software engineering, machine learning and molecular biology, as we push the limits of diagnostics and genomic technologies. (We're still in stealth mode, so apologies for the lack of detail in this post. Come talk to us for more info!)

We're hiring software engineers for front-end, infrastructure, devops, bioinformatics and machine learning. Join us on the ground-level for this exciting journey to shape our technology, product and company culture.

If you're an engineer who's willing to learn about biological problems, or have experience in next-generation sequencing, feel free to contact us: gstock@kariusdx.com

We currently use Python, Scala, Bash, Ruby, and Haskell. If any of this appeals to you, please get in touch!

Some of the things we’re looking for in people (not all required):

• Comfortable and familiar with backend and frontend technologies (MVC, Postgres / ORMs, React)

• Experience with building infrastructure and devops (AWS, Puppet / Chef / Ansible, etc)

• Able to glide across the stack as needed

• Algorithms development background and strong understanding of practical implementation issues

• Deep understanding of probabilistic modeling, statistics and data structures

Potential responsibilities:

• Designing and implementing robust and scalable compute infrastructure on top of AWS

• Creating pipelines for analyzing, storing and visualizing complex genomic data.

• Research, implementation, and testing of new analysis methods in computational genomics, in particular related to sequence analysis and metagenomics.

Recursion Pharmaceuticals | SLC, Utah | Onsite, full-time

Senior Data Scientist

We have 20 TB of high-resolution images of human cells, some diseased, some healthy, which we have to statistically distinguish as a first step to finding cures for rare genetic diseases. Our small team of biology and math Ph.D.’s has the potential to save lives and be at the forefront of the revolution in image-based biological analysis.

What we do

There are more than 5,000 untreated rare genetic diseases, which together affect nearly ten million people in the US alone. Each of these diseases affects too few people for traditional pharmaceutical companies to approach them, so we're building a way to seek treatments for hundreds of these diseases in parallel. We aim to find treatments for 100 of them in the next 10 years.

What you’ll do

As the second member of our data science team, you’ll collaborate with our biologists to guide our experimental design, improve the models that drive our analysis, and use our data answer questions that guide our scientific and technical strategy. We currently work mainly with the python scientific stack, including pandas and IPython, and making some use of such libraries as sklearn, while also building our own models for machine learning and statistical inference. See the posts linked below for more details.

Logistics

We're based in Research Park at the edge of the mountains overlooking Salt Lake City, Utah. Gorgeous hiking/running/biking is literally out our back door, and it's half an hour to 5 top ski resorts. We offer competitive pay, health insurance, relocation assistance (working at the office is part of the deal), equity, an awesome team to work with, and the chance to impact the world in a massively positive way.

meanpath.com - REMOTE (Any Country) - Full Time - Many Positions

We are a 100% distributed company with staff in Australia, United States and the Philippines. Our tech stack is all Haskell with a very minimal amount of front end that we are hoping to expand with the help of the following new hires.

Currently hiring for:

  * Front end developer

  * Product manager

  * Content writers

  * Designers

meanpath crawls 200 million websites and compiles reports on the technology these sites are using. We currently track over 9,000 different bits of tech which sometimes gets picked up in the press http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/28/bootstrap-3-goes-mobile-fir...

Most of our customers consume this information via our API but we are going to start work on creating a front end so non-technical users can access the information easily. We are entirely bootstrapped and profitable. CTO is based in Ann Arbor, MI and CEO (me) is based in Sydney, Australia. We have a huge team of researchers in Manila who compile and enhance the reports.

Visas?:

We have both US and Australian corporate entities so can sponsor or transfer visas in both countries. If you do not already have a H1B we cannot help with the application process for that as we need to fill these roles now.

Interested?
