[ 3.1 ms ] story [ 882 ms ] threadAtomwise uses deep neural networks to help discover new medicines. Our customers are top researchers at institutions such as Merck and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute (see http://www.atomwise.com/clients/). We're backed by science-heavy VCs, including Data Collective, Khosla Ventures, and DFJ. Our work tackles some of the biggest problems of our time: cancer, multiple sclerosis, malaria, ebola, and antibiotics for drug-resistant bugs. We’ve already shown that modern machine learning can set a new bar for predictive accuracy in structure-based drug design, and we want your help in pushing that accuracy even further.
We’re looking both for people with machine learning expertise, and for people with computational biology/chemistry expertise. If you’ve got both, all the better! Please see our full job descriptions here: http://www.atomwise.com/careers/

About Amara
Amara is world-class software that enables communities to subtitle and translate video collaboratively. Because of Amara, tens of millions have been impacted through greater access to educational materials, news, entertainment, and more. Partner organizations such as Vimeo, GitHub, and TED (among many others) rely on Amara for subtitling tools and collaboration ecosystems.
What makes Amara Different?
Amara is developed by a non-profit organization, the Participatory Culture Foundation (PCF), whose mission is to build a more open, collaborative world.
Our work helps make video more accessible and global. The subtitling on Amara is completed on both volunteer and paid basis (depending on project), and as we grow, we’re asking: "how do we build a more equitable future of work?"
These goals and aspirations make PCF and Amara a fun and unique org. We’re a globally distributed team looking for empathic, creative, and driven people who want to make a difference.
If this is you, we’d love to chat!

Tweag I/O is looking for distributed systems engineers and a devops engineer to join a brand new team starting on a new, fully funded 3 year project in Haskell and in C to develop the next wave of storage solutions, targeted at the Exascale.
We are a research and development laboratory at the heart of Europe, applying functional programming techniques to tame the complexity of distributed systems and scale predictably. Most of our existing folks have a PL research and/or formal methods background and enjoy demonstrating the correctness of their solutions with gusto: randomized test case generation, model checking in SPIN/Promela or interactive theorem proving using Coq. We are active maintainers of the Cloud Haskell project and authors of the HaskellR project, among other open source contributions.
We are a distributed company with a presence across Europe (and a smidgeon in South America), but for this position we're looking to have you join a local team near our headquarters here in Paris. We're pretty happy to look at helping you relocate if you're up to spending some time in this beautiful city. Fluency in French not required.
If you'd love the opportunity and the space to solve the hard problems of science's large dataset infrastructure, by systematically decomposing them into simple, orthogonal solutions that compose and commute like in algebra, shoot us an email at jobs@tweag.io.

Our software stands valiantly between scammers and grandma's money.
I found out about this big-hearted YC company from the June 1st Who's Hiring thread and started working full-time on June 15th. Here are some things I've done since then:
- Learned a ton about how payment processing works under the hood
- Used Twilio to add functionality to our phone system so our CS friends have a lower call volume
- Gotten coffee/lunch with pretty much everyone on the team (we're still small)
- Increased gif / screencap usage in PRs & code reviews
- Automated transaction auditing, saving lots of person-hours && increased test coverage
- Helped translate fast-speaking Spanish on a few CS calls
- Observed how a nimble startup implements Grown-Up-Business-Level security
- Finally actually learned what ruby's #inject method is all about
- Had a real reason to consult POODR
We're looking for nice people who have worked on hairy, wacky production full-stack code before - someone who can make things better without being rude, judgemental or arrogant about it. We'd prefer session musicians over rockstars.
Email jobs@truelinkfinancial.com and we'll get back to you within 2 business days, pinky swear!

Planet Labs has a large number of positions open. We're a collection of electrical, mechanical, aerospace, software, science, etc. folks looking to image the whole planet on a daily basis with a large number of small satellites. It's a terrific bunch of folks doing what we call "agile aerospace".
I've personally been with the company for over a year, working on "Mission Control", an internal web app for managing the satellites and make life easier on our "Spaceship Captains" -- the operators who manage them.

Python (Flask, Django) and Javascript (React, Backbone) are used heavily in the web projects. We of course have systems programming to do for the onboard software. Plenty of other interesting work from the satellite design and various subsystems, manufacturing, georectification of images, image corrections, dev ops, site reliability engineers, and heaps of possibilities with a supremely interesting dataset that we're growing.

You will participate in code reviews, help develop our best practices and coding styles, and ultimately have a big impact as our company is starting out.
We’re a mission-driven company with a diverse team of people who value honest and transparent communication, simple and focused execution, and work-life balance. We’re building a NYC-based team and offer market compensation and significant equity for world-class candidates.

Not a job location I ever expected to see on HN. :) I would like to come by and see y'all when I'm back home again in December.
We're an online music retailer selling vinyl, tapes, CDs, downloads and merchandise. We're currently rebuilding our site to use Spree (so Spree experience preferred although not required) and we need an extra developer as soon as possible. You will need to be experienced building systems with complex business logic (there's a surprising amount) and working with integrating third party protocols, APIs and file formats[1].
We test heavily using Rspec and Cucumber. We're using the AWS stack (EB, S3, etc) and whilst knowledge of these would be beneficial it's by no means a requirement. Postgres and CoffeeScript experience would be nice too. Lots of Rails experience is the main thing.
If you're interested, please email bang@boomkat.com for more information or to apply. If applying, please include your CV / Github / links to any projects you're proud of / etc, as well as your availability and your day rate.

Looking for Data Scientists, Front-End and Back-End Engineers
We’re dedicated to making the digital world better for real humans. Automated programs, called bots, account for 61% of overall internet traffic today — and as the world becomes more digital, this will only increase. Ultimately, bots make it more difficult for real humans to get what they need from the Internet, and more difficult for companies who serve humans to provide high quality content and services cost-effectively. We find and verify humans by analyzing natural user behavior across millions of websites.
All humans interested in joining the team, please visit http://areyouahuman.com/careers to apply.
--------------------------------
I work here as a data scientist, and the central task of verifying humans opens up a fun bag of machine learning and engineering challenges. It's also an amicable, smart group of humans to work with.
Technologies: Javascript, nodejs, angularjs, backbonejs, css3, sass, less, stylus, html5, PageSpeed, mongoDB, mysql, SQL Server, python, php
Résumé/CV:
My name is Allan Esquina, I'm a web developer focusing on performance and automation. I've been studying new technologies everyday. Nowadays, I'm the maintainer of JavaScript: The Right Way (https://github.com/braziljs/js-the-right-way) and owner of the RincoJS organization (https://github.com/rincojs/), both open source projects. I've been working on a static site generator called Rinco SG as well. Looking forward for a remote opportunity.

Apple's App of the Year in 2014. http://elevateapp.com
I work full-time on Elevate's iOS app. We make brain training games, so most of the company works on cross-platform games. I'm the one responsible for everything on iOS that isn't a game.
We ship improvements to the app and a new game every month. You would take your own tasks and help with code review for each release.
Objective C and some C++ experience is necessary, we also use Swift in some isolated places, and would like to use Swift wherever feasible.
The app is very animation heavy. CoreAnimation experience is useful. Understanding what causes performance issues and how to use Xcode's profiling tools is useful too. We have really talented designers who cry when you build ugly things.
It's a pretty chill gig. We probably need at least half of your time around a deadline, but usually you can spend as much time as you want working on stuff. The well of tasks never runs dry. We have an office, but Slack+Trello means you can work from anywhere.
Send at least your Github username to me: david+hn@elevateapp.com
Links to anything you've done that is on the App Store is way more interesting to me than a resume.
