I’m the founder/CEO. In 2017 I moved from startups in SF to Volkswagen in Detroit to learn about the trillion $ industry we know will transform over the next decade. I left this past April to start Passenger AI which is building remote monitoring tools for robotaxi operations. In the past 7 months, we’ve raised from top-tier VCs, built up a team of 8 (Mozilla, Lyft, Pivotal etc.) and brought on some great customers.
We moved into a new office today with a garage so we can touch/feel our product everyday.
We’re hiring engineers for DevOps, Media Streaming and ML/CV. (https://angel.co/passenger-ai/jobs)

Job Description(https://silexica.workable.com/jobs/853675):
-You will be responsible for building a fully functional web front-end for our cloud product.
-You will help extend and maintain the "back-end" API and cloud orchestration system for our suite of products.

What does this mean? For a TN-visa you only need an letter stating employment, not 'full sponsorship'...
The point: We are an information security/threat intelligence company. Our goal is to make the threat intelligence process run more smoothly and help organizations share threat data better. Our solution pulls threat information (both our own and via external APIs) into a graph (visual and graph db) and enables real-time collaboration and sharing of the information on the graph. (If you're aware of the tools, think of combining Google docs with a graph editor like Maltego and mix in some process automation.)
What we're looking for: We're looking for a mid/advanced back-end developer for the back-end of our web-based application. Security experience isn't needed, we've got that covered already. Our backend is built with Django/Django Channels/Redis. Our UI connects to the backend with a mix of REST and WebSockets (we're using websockets for real-time collaboration work). Ideally, the person we're looking for would be comfortable doing both the Python and Django side of things as well as some command line work (we have a data repository that we also maintain). We will also be working on designing and implementing a (possibly quite large) graph DB in the near future.
Perks of the job: early round shares, competitive salary, 401k, & healthcare benefits. Also, we work from home a lot and our focus is on getting the work done, not on attendance or face time.
A bit about us: We are a pre-A-round startup. We have a working product and paying customers, so we're in a good spot financially. We are based in Alexandria, VA but do a lot of working from home, and tend to meet up in Alexandria once a week or so. We have staff doing some of these roles already but we're looking to accelerate our pace.
We encourage all who are interested to contact us. You can reach me at: aaron@kingandunion.com

I’m on vacation this week, and while my wife reads, I spelunk data in the US Census and American Community Survey. I’ve been looking this week at polling proximity for voters based on demographics and RUCA coding, to see how fair access is to voting throughout the country. I’ve had to primarily use third party data sources because the government datasets are poor or non existent (thanks to Census Reporter, Google Civic API, and Google Distance Matrix API).
I hope other engineers like yourself take the challenge and seek to improve our technology. We need it, and it’s important!
Thanks again Matt.
If I’m ever in DC I’ll reach out. Would love to take a tour and learn more.
Best of luck to you and the team, Matt. Email is in my profile if I can ever be of assistance.
At my current job I joined because it directly helps people as well by helping them shed off debt they cannot handle. We all do what we can to help others. Kudos to you!
If you're interested, consider applying!
This country spans a large area & a lot of it is full of people who would love to help their country do better, but few want to move to DC. The US "Digital" Service should be a shining example to others of how to work remotely.
For what it's worth, some of our individual agency engagements (e.g. VA or DoD) might allow you to come to DC for a short while like three months and then work remotely after that. But most of our work is in DC, at least for now.
Best wishes!
We don't currently have an engagement at the IRS/Treasury, but if we get more people to sign up, that would increase the odds. :)
This is a recent overview of the sort of projects that we're working on: https://www.usds.gov/report-to-congress/2017/fall/ It's all great stuff that you'd feel proud to tell your family and friends about.
As the existence and prioritization of executive branch projects is an outcome of partisan politics, that's only even possibly true in the sense that some government projects, even in this administration, aren't particularly subject to partisan controversy.
But while it would be possibly true in that sense, it doesn't seem to be actually true in that sense, as a review of the highlight projects at https://www.usds.gov/work shows that many serve goals that have been the subject of intense partisan controversy over the last couple years.
I’ve taight myself JavaScript and have recently learned Django with my current position. I don’t have any plans to leave the company now, but working on systems that can help out fellow veterans more easily is tempting.
Maybe in a year or two I’ll revisit this :)
Check out this GI Bill comparison tool that Marc (the Veteran I mentioned) built: https://www.vets.gov/gi-bill-comparison-tool/ . Seeing vets help out brothers and sisters who have served is really inspiring.
