Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2018)

CrowdJustice is an early-stage, VC-backed, tech-for-good company that's changing the way people access the legal system with a mission to make the law available to everyone. We’re using technology to solve a huge social problem and building a business at the same time. Since launch in 2015 we have helped important legal cases raise millions in funding, seen claimants get their cases to the Supreme Court, given communities a voice – and we’ve been featured in the Guardian, FT, BBC, TechCrunch, NYT and more.

We are looking for both backend and frontend developers to join our lean team in central London: https://crowdjustice.workable.com/j/132A9C8417

The CrowdJustice platform backend is written in Python, Django and Postgres, with the front-end in Javascript, HTML and SASS – though you don't need experience in any of these.

Interview Process: 20-30 minute phone/hangouts chat about the role (no surprise tech questions); a 1.5 hour on-site interview where we'll discuss the technical task, pair program some work and talk about your future at CrowdJustice; if successful, a fair offer and the chance to join a well funded startup early on its mission to increase access to justice!

We’re helping over a million teachers and students eliminate printing and scanning and the associated costs and effort - so our teachers can spend more of their time on achieving better learning outcomes for the next generation.

At Kami, we don’t believe in keeping our engineers locked in the backroom implementing specs sheets - you’ll be talking to the teachers who already love our product, and figuring out how to make Kami work even better in their classrooms. This position will suit an Engineer with a good product sense and is comfortable working relatively autonomously.

We're constantly pushing the boundaries of what you can do in the browser - I just spent the past week tracking down Chrome bugs on the new stylus-enabled Chromebooks! Our frontend is a SPA built in angular, and we have a Rails API/Postgres/GKE/JRuby backend that it talks to.

Most of our users are based in the US, and there may be occasional travel to attend conferences and visit schools using our software, which is a lot of fun! ( See the wrapup from our last conference in Chicago, IL: https://blog.kamihq.com/iste-2018-wrap-up/ )

Our office is in Central Auckland, New Zealand (with great public transport connections), and this position is local.

NYGC is not a software company; it is a sequencing lab trying to push science at scale, and needs software to do so. We are hungry to become the lead sequencing firm. We're aggressively building our clinical services, so if you have even the smallest allergy to documentation or process, please stop reading now.

This position is for a Principal Software Engineer to serve as a project lead. This person should be able to work independently and in a team, from requirements through implementation/iteration and testing and deployment. We use python and postgresql on the backend, we have just chosen React on the frontend. We're looking for someone who has both python application development experience and javascript/front-end experience.

We are intentionally boring (https://valdhaus.co/writings/boring-systems/) in our technology choices because our goal is data analysis, not novel software work. We design everything for reliability, maintenance, low cost of ownership, and failure recovery. It is a combination of boring technology and fast pace: we are the computational pipeline team, the automation team, the LIMS team, the database team, and the data transport team (surprisingly fun at >20PB), the customer delivery team. We don't do genomic methods software (e.g. better variant calling) -- we have a great computational biology group for that. This group is focused on making a sequencing lab and automated analyses run at scale.

This position is for the Production Software Engineering group, which currently has thirteen people. We're replacing prototypes with better solutions while rolling out new applications to help the organization with scale. People who join NYGC software are expected to learn quickly, be self-motivated, and be comfortable switching tracks. You don't have to understand e.g. genome sequence alignment, but you do have to be able to read a manual on a tool's use and learn enough vocabulary to have an intelligent conversation with an expert on the subject.

The lab and automation combined drive some really interesting real-world problems, particularly in the clinical space. How fast can we get first-order cancer screening to sick people?
