Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2024)

HRL Laboratories is a private, scientific laboratory that has been in business since 1960. We are best known for having created the first working laser.

We are doing R&D on quantum computing, from fabrication to algorithms, all in-house, using a tech called exchange-only silicon dot qubits. We are looking for both senior engineering and management to help build out our compiler stack for a quantum programming language. We recently presented it, along with our language-oriented development approach, at the biggest physics conference: APS March Meeting. [1]

The quantum computing group uses Common Lisp, Coalton, Python, C++, and JavaScript to build a state-of-the-art operating system for physicists researching silicon dot quantum computers. Compiler development is done primarily in Common Lisp.

Those who are excellent programmers experienced with

- functional programming, and/or Lisp, and/or statically typed ML-descendants;

- compilers, machine architecture;

- and solid undergraduate mathematics and advanced computer science

are most qualified. We can train you on Lisp, Coalton, and quantum if the fundamentals are there. Knowledge of quantum computing is not necessary for most software engineering roles.

Interview process: phone call, "take-home" exercise, on-site interview (no whiteboarding), reference checks, and offer.

Candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance, and must be willing to relocate to southern California.

>- functional programming, and/or Lisp, and/or statically typed ML-descendants;

Nice to see functional programming is being used compiler development R&D on quantum computing. Have you guys considered Ocaml and/or Haskell. Just wonder if there are certain quality that functional programming that is more suited for quantum computing related role?

I wish I was more fitted for the job. I find your company/product fascinating. Best of luck with your search!

I really want to see career path of someone who covers most of the above

I tick a number of these boxes! I did a graduate degree in computer science and then went into the game industry for over a decade. Along the way, I met a few people with eclectic backgrounds and interests who have many of the skills listed. I can't speak for larger studios, but small-to-mid sized studios can provide grounds to build some of these skills.

> I really want to see career path of someone who covers most of the above

There are plenty of people who followed this sort of path:

grad school (some sort of rendering/imaging focus, especially) -> industry job implementing modern algorithms back end -> focus on web based data presentation

Along the way you learn a stack something like this.

endigma · 2 years ago

Yeah what who knows Haskell, C++, Python, TS, WebGL, React and CUDA (already an impressive list) then just as a hobbyist uses hyper converged storage systems runs databases and uses nix?

I hope covering all of this isn’t a serious expectation, should probably reword if it’s not

Darkhive.com | United States | REMOTE | Full-time | $150-220k + early shares, employee #10-15

There are two kinds of drone companies on the market. DJI and everyone else you haven't heard of. If you want to change that, particularly in the US, check us out. We are creating a palm-sized, autonomous drones to help de-escalate dangerous situations.

If ROS2, sUAS, GTSAM, SolidWorks, aerospace, hard realtime systems, and drones are things you're familiar with or interested in, let's chat. Shipped a consumer product in volume? Let's chat.

Maybe you're working an another UAS/Drone company that's larger and want to flex your brain to have more direct impact and ownership of your creations. Apply below and mention HackerNews.

Let's make drones more affordable and accessible to public safety, humanitarian, and defense applications.

- Position can be 100% remote (US Only). Relocation to San Antonio, TX would be awesome.

- We do in person meetings when needed. We are just 14 people.

- We're a startup, but we have funding and contracts. We're all mid-career so we want a sustainable, mature, diverse working environment.

- This position will involve defense work. However, we will never build drones that can harm people.

Curious about your choice of using ROS. From my experience it works for a proof of concept but slows you down a lot after that.

danbmil99 · 2 years ago

(Not with the company) My observation is that ROS 2 is the go-to solution for new projects. Established co's have sunk cost in proprietary stacks and tend to spread the "ROS is slow and bulky" meme, but the reality is a sane, seasoned stack that has thousands of contributors offers a time-to-market advantage that is worth more than saving a bit on hardware. Most of the really time-critical code (actuator firmware, video capture etc) is done by C/C++ libraries anyway.

It's parallel to the general situation where Python is at the top of the stack in spite of being dog-ass slow.

I interviewed with Datadog yesterday for two engineering labeled "remote" and the recruiter said that was a mistake and that all jobs should be labeled as hybrid...is this true?

bmaquet · 2 years ago

It's remote within country, correct? Belgium wouldn't work, for example?

Grafana Labs | Engineers, SREs, Managers | REMOTE | Full-time | https://grafana.com/about/careers/open-positions/

We make that dashboard thing you've all seen... we also make and operate massively scalable distributed databases for various telemetry, do lots of OSS things (+1K Github repos!), and having become the leader at observability in general we're now focusing on things like application observability, correlating data / exemplars, and creating new and easier ways to explore observability data... also, those huge massively distributed databases :)

We have been hiring constantly, and mostly struggle to keep our Greenhouse page up to date.

In my team alone (I'm VP, Engineering for the databases Mimir, Loki, Tempo, Pyroscope) I need 2 EMs (1 in Europe, 1 in the USA/Canada or Europe), an SRE in the USA/Canada, an SRE in Europe, an Engineer for Mimir in the US/Canada, and a couple of EU engineers for Loki. Those are just my team, but lots of teams are hiring. Additionally we will continually open roles throughout the year.

Grafana team really would like a Principal Engineer who knows distributed systems and databases built on object storage... we have lots of expertise here throughout the company, we just need more people who can ramp up fast :D

The greenhouse page works, but if you don't see something I've mentioned feel free to email (in profile).

Hi! I applied to several roles but got automated declines pretty quickly. Any chance we could connect? I am a senior SDE at Amazon currently and very interested in Grafana.

northern-lights · 2 years ago

Hey! What would be the TC range for the Principal Engineer position and is that in EU?

That role isn't in my dept, but I believe the location isn't fixed. Quickly checking Greenhouse, I think it's this one https://boards.greenhouse.io/grafanalabs/jobs/5052765004 but feel free to apply from the EU as the Hiring Manager will see it.

You should know that we try to hire evenly around the world and across timezones such that it balances on-call and allows us to create on-call schedules that align to people's daylight hours. It's not my team, so I don't know precisely their balance right now, and it may be that they do seek someone in the Americas time zones.
