Finally we are strong enough to write one of these who is hiring ads. Yes, we're hiring!

Who we are: The Modular Company, tech DD services for Venture Capital and Private Equity customers.

We're growing rapidly, we doubled year-on-year for the last three years, looking to do this again this year. Right now we have a mix of part and full-timers that form two teams and we are looking to build a third team in the next three months.

We are looking for an all-round tech person to help out with the Due Diligence work we do, preparation, interviews and report writing. Competitive salary, stock and bonus. If you are curious, want to know what makes things work and would like to join a team that consists of interesting people then please respond, we're color blind, age agnostic (our team spans 3 decades) and would be happy to hire women, men and in fact anybody else as long as they positively contribute to team and atmosphere.

Warning: this work is not for everybody. It is super intense, we deliver a 20-30 page report each week, it is fun and addictive but if you are unable to pace yourself then likely you are better off in a more regulated environment, we are not going to 'hold your hand' but give you all the freedom you need to succeed or mess up. English writing and speaking skills are almost as important as your tech background. We are 'radically transparent', that means that once every month we send out a very detailed report on how the business is doing to ensure that everybody is on the same page. This includes financials, a retrospective of the past month, looking forward to the month ahead and anything else that might be of interest.

Location: Near Amsterdam, Netherlands (Hilversum) Remote is ok, but some office presence required, we work all over Europe. Some of us work from abroad (Poland) but this is while workable, not ideal so if you're in or near Amsterdam or Hilversum that would be better.

You may contact me through jacques@modularcompany.com if you're interested.

No recruiters or agencies please.

You are looking for an analyst or something of the sort right? not a software developer
jacquesm · 6 years ago
Given that four out of our team of about 10 are developers that is a bit of a hard question to answer. Let me try anyway: we do not actually develop software (other than our own tooling) but we do look at other people's software, as well as many other aspects of IT operations, development processes and so on.

So software development experience is a definite plus, but it is not required that you do software development during the normal course of our work, at best it would result in some actionable advice in one of the sections of the report.

I hope that answers your question satisfactorily, if not feel free to follow up either here on in email.

I'm currently a USDS employee, and I can tell you that you will never find another job that has impact anywhere near this scale. From killing literally billions in dollars of government waste, to saving soldier's lives in Afghanistan, and helping refugees get into America, the work is so important. Join us!

I recently needed to trawl through CFPB HMDA data and it was an absolute pleasure to do so. Everything was straightforward and documented in GitHub. I assumed this project was a result of USDS

do you hire international students for entry level?
sneak · 6 years ago
This strikes me as a bit hyperbolic, considering that America contains fewer than 5% of the human beings.
Matt_Cutts · 6 years ago
Here's an example article from last week about the kind of work we help with: https://governmentciomedia.com/va-radically-streamlining-cla...

The US Department of Veterans Affairs recently released a new online tool that makes it much easier for Veterans to apply for compensation claims. Based on user research, if the claim is for something like PTSD, it encourages the user to take a break and also includes crisis line info. Because the tool is digital instead of paper, it eliminates entire classes of mistakes and means that claims are processed a lot faster.

Lots of government systems need to work so much better for people. Why not join us in DC to tackle some really impactful projects? I'm always happy to answer questions if people want.

SUmarFarooq · 6 years ago
Hi Matt, I've got two questions.

1. Can you talk at all about the interview process for USDS? My big reluctance to apply for positions right now is that so many companies require extensive knowledge of algorithms, which can be daunting for someone who's self-taught, like myself. I imagine USDS is more focused on large-scale systems, but I'm unsure what that looks like in an interview setting, other than discussing a candidate's experiences with system design or improvements.

2. Can you comment on how a transition from one president to another affects USDS? I imagine there's a change in priorities and possibly some leadership, but what do those changes look like, and how drastically do they affect the organization?

tvanantwerp · 6 years ago
Hello Matt! Big admirer of the work USDS is doing. I'm curious if USDS ever showcases its work in public venues like conferences or local meetups in DC. I'd love to learn more about the things you're all building and the processes the team goes through more directly.

souprock · 6 years ago
Southeast USA including: Virginia (Arlington and Dulles), Maryland (Annapolis Junction), South Carolina (Greenville), Alabama (Huntsville), Florida (Melbourne), Texas (Austin and San Antonio), Pennsylvania (State College) and possibly others, all ONSITE. Citizenship is a job requirement.

We do emulators, JIT, hypervisors, stuff similar to valgrind, debuggers, manual disassembly, binary static analysis, parsers, and assembly. We write our own low-level tools, frequently in C99 to run on Linux. We also use IDA Pro, ghidra, qemu, Simics, JTAG debuggers, gdb, Coverity, KlocWork, LLVM, and so on. Easily transferable skills include those related to compilers, kernel drivers, embedded RTOSes, vectorizing, firmware, VxWorks BSP development, symbolic execution, boot loaders, software verification, concolic testing, abstract interpretation, satisfiability (SAT, SMT) solvers, and decompilers. We work with more than a dozen architectures including PowerPC/ppc, MIPS, ARM/Thumb/AArch64, x86/x64/Intel, DSPs, and microcontrollers. We hire from no-degree to PhD. Common degrees include Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics.

We don't normally work overtime, and we get paid more if we do. We're never expected to take work home or be on call. Because of the citizenship requirement, there is no chance that the work will be outsourced. Flex-time is fairly extreme; some do randomish hours.

Location hints: Pick Arlington for a car-free life, subway included. Pick Florida or Texas to live in a place with solid gun rights and no state income tax. Pick Florida for almost no traffic or commute, surfing, and a median house price of about $150,000.

You can email me at users.sf.net, with account name albert.

Materials Project | Berkeley, CA | ONSITE | Full-time | https://materialsproject.org

Berkeley Lab (https://www.lbl.gov/) is looking for a talented web developer who will work on building powerful web-based tools for materials scientists on the Materials Project team (see https://materialsproject.org). The Materials Project is one of the world’s foremost databases of computed materials science data, and has helped pioneer a change in how we design and search for new materials, with a large active community of users in both academia and industry. We use millions of CPU hours a year in our calculations, and all of this data is publicly available and free of charge, and we develop all our software openly and under open source licenses.

This is a great opportunity for a developer with an interest in science and energy-related innovation. You'll work with a team of scientists and engineers and will have a major impact on any aspect of the project that interests you — from application architecture to data visualization.

A successful applicant will have experience in:

* HTML/CSS

* JavaScript — someone who is happy to help maintain our legacy platform {Backbone.js, CoffeeScript, Require.js} but is also not afraid of new technologies where appropriate {React / Plotly Dash}

* Web services technologies and REST APIs

* Information visualization — knowledge of javascript graphing libraries such as {d3, HighCharts, Plotly} and understanding of information visualization techniques highly relevant

Ideal applicants will also be experienced with:

* Python and Django (or similar framework)

* Writing unit- and end-to-end tests for client side applications

* Unix environments

* User interface design principles

A successful applicant will also:

* Be keen to work as part of a small team, including working with other researchers (graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, collaborators) who are excited about sharing their data with the world

If you're interested in applying, or you simply want to ask some questions about the position (I’m the team’s lead web dev), feel free to ping me at dwinston@lbl.gov. The official position description and application portal is at <https://jobs.lbl.gov/jobs/web-developer-1934>, but because Berkeley Lab is a public research institution, the hiring/contract style is different than a typical industry job (e.g. “1-year term appointment” means guaranteed for 1 year at minimum -- this position definitely has long-term, extension-without-reapplication potential; full benefits start from day 1; etc.), so again please feel free to ping me for any clarification. :)

Oh, and I learned about the Materials Project from a "Who's Hiring" thread several years ago, so yay HN.
