Cooklist shows you recipes you can cook with the groceries you buy. It can connect to 81 grocery chains like Walmart, Safeway, Kroger etc. and automatically download every purchase a user makes into the app. It uses NLP to match each product purchased to recipe ingredients. Over 1,000,000 products are matched to 1,400,000 recipes. I’ve built Cooklist over the last 9 months and it’s now live in private beta. Hundreds of users are participating in the development process. 10,000+ purchases have been downloaded in the last week. You can see a demo video at https://cooklist.co
We are looking to bring on someone to lead the development of the mobile apps. If you’re interested in working on this idea email me at daniel@cooklist.co and if you’d like to beta test sign up at https://cooklist.com/team

Braintree lets you move money from one place to another safely and securely. Every time you pay for an Uber ride, book a stay through Airbnb, or pay with PayPal when you check out online, you’re probably using our product. It sounds complex (and it is), but we make it so simple you can’t tell we’re there.
We solve world-scale problems and provide opportunities to match. We build diverse teams that recognize our strengths and allow us to work on our weaknesses. You bring skills and a relentless focus on the customer, and we’ll provide the support you need to do the best work of your life.
We’re looking for security engineers to help us secure the billions of transactions that make it through our gateway each year. At Braintree, security means you get to support every facet of the business and dive deep into the complex plumbing that is required to move money. This includes some interesting engineering challenges with hands on coding, code review, and architecture/design review.
We're currently hiring product managers, security roles, sales development reps and account executives, director level positions, and more; see https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/.
We're a remote only company so everyone can participate and contribute equally. GitLab Community Edition is an open-source Ruby on Rails project with over 1000 contributors.
We are a stealth startup working to fix the software doctors use. If you have seen what physicians have to put up with, it's a bad version of the 90s, and makes medical care worse and more expensive for everyone. We are a group of previously successful engineers and entrepreneurs (MIT, Dartmouth, Datapower, Stripe, Salesforce, etc) and senior doctors (Johns Hopkins, UCSF, etc) who are determined to finally fix this.
Compensation: market salary & equity -- we are well funded.
Stack: includes Rust, React and Node. We will also be solving some very interesting problems in the areas of APIs, domain-specific machine-learning and fine-grained application security.
Please email jobs@commure.com and mention "[hnews]" in the subject line.

We are looking for quick learners who enjoy working with modern software development tools in the financial and capital markets space.
Knowledge of specific frameworks or libraries is less important than a broad knowledge of software development practices, and an ability to learn.
At the NYSE, we are building customer-facing web applications with tons of referential data and many downstream systems.
Must haves:
1. Experience developing web applications and web sites.
2. Very good grasp of Python 3.5+ or TypeScript. Both are a plus.
3. Some knowledge of the other language listed above.
4. Willingness to work with both ecosystems.
5. Relational database experience, ideally PostgreSQL.
6. An understanding of automated testing and when it’s an asset and when it’s a liability.
7. Clear, concise coding skills. Your code is more often described as "clean and elegant" than "clever."
8. A healthy amount of patience for firewall/infrastructure navigation. We use modern stacks and have access to most tools, but still operate in a regulated environment.
Nice to haves:
1. Understanding of formal methods
2. Bash and vi fu.
3. Mypy and static typing experience in Python
4. React experience.
5. Django experience.
6. Static typing experience in other languages: Java, C++
7. API design
8. Rust experience
Interested? Email me at silvio.gutierrez@nyse.com. Mention that you saw this on HackerNews and what position you're applying for.
- You understand meta programming python. What the type() function really does, and how it can be used. And when it should not be used.
- You understand discriminated unions, and how to use the type system to enforce exhaustive checks and other useful patterns.
- You can describe good and bad use cases for single page applications.
- You can describe why nullable types and a type system that enforces it are advantageous over type systems like Java’s.
- You can and have extracted declarative implementations out of imperative code. You know when it’s worth it and when it’s not.
- You know what the right time is to add unit tests to your code.
- You can describe a list comprehension, and have strong opinions regarding when and when not to use them.
- You know the benefits of generators and the yield statement.
- John is in many bands. We want to keep track of them. And we also want to track when he joined them. You know exactly how to model this in a relational store.
- You understand higher order functions, and sometimes secretly wish Python had more of them.
- You can describe ways in which lambda in Python is limited. And the reasoning - however flawed or not - behind it.
- You know when to use composition over inheritance.
- You understand the article “What Color is Your Function?” and can discuss it with us.
- You think comments are a last resort for documenting an algorithm.
- You can describe a pure function. Bonus: you can explain referential transparency. Even I can’t.
- You hate repeating yourself. DRY not WET.
- You understand the illusion of complexity and why simplicity is always better.
- You know the different types of automated testing there are, and when to use each.
- You have strong opinions on handling nested resources in REST and can espouse all the benefits of your take.
- You have strong opinions on handling versioning in REST and can espouse all the benefits of your take.
- You know what a shibboleth is.
If so let me know and I'll refer her to you.
