Planetary Resources - Bellevue, WA - Full time

Planetary Resources, Inc (PRI), the asteroid mining company, is seeking a Flight Software and Ground Software Engineer (a combined role) for the development of innovative spaceflight products and support systems.

PRI’s vision is to mine near-Earth asteroids for raw materials, ranging from water to precious metals through the rapid development of innovative and cost-effective exploration technologies. Resource extraction from asteroids will deliver multiple benefits to humanity and grow to be valued at tens of billions of dollars annually. The effort will tap into the high concentration of precious materials found on asteroids and will provide a foundation for further space exploration and a sustainable supply of raw materials to the ever-growing population on Earth.

As a software engineer, you will be responsible for creating the software products that enable PRI to deploy and operate state of the art robotic spacecraft. These software products cover the full spectrum of platforms and applications, from mission critical assembly-level code running on an embedded microprocessor to cloud-based high performance data processing.

Most work is in C++. Experience in any of: C, Javascript, Python, SQL, Assembly for x86, ARM, or microcontrollers helps.

Transcriptic: Full-stack developer (emphasis on frontend)

Menlo Park, CA

Transcriptic is "Amazon Web Services" for the life sciences. Rather than carry out wet-lab experiments by hand, researchers can code up (or visually configure) their experimental protocols and then run them in Transcriptic's central, highly automated 'biocenter' in an on-demand way. Customers have no upfront capital costs and pay for only what they use. Life science research today is incredibly slow, error-prone, monotonous, and expensive with researchers spending many hours a day every day just moving small volumes of liquids from one place to another. We're building a long-term company to completely change the way life science research and development is done.

We're looking for a highly talented full-stack web developer. On top of our robotic workcells is a slew of internal services as well as a Rails app that acts as our lab information management system and customer-facing UI. Challenges range from building rich, interactive interfaces for composing protocols to presenting analytical data generated by the lab back to the user. We use d3, Backbone, and some CoffeeScript today, but you'd be free to choose your own tools and libraries.

We're a small startup (you'd be #10), but well funded and have customers. You'd be able to work on interesting science and hard technology in a really small, all technical team with lots of freedom and resources.

A biology background is preferred but not strictly necessary for outstanding people.

I'm probably not a good candidate for you (if for no other reason than that I'm not willing to relocate), but this sounds amazing. It's not often that I hear about a new startup and think, "That really could change the world."

I am not applying for a job. I just wanted to say this is a really fascinating business model. I hope you guys do well!

Excuse me, but what would you say if I sent you a fully-trained biologist who doesn't have so much coding experience, but can easily learn?
frisco · 12 years ago
Potentially, but not for this role. A startup isn't a place to learn, unfortunately; it's a place to execute on the skills you already know cold. However, do we have one opening for a PhD-level staff scientist that we could consider your friend for.

The Wikimedia Foundation :)

We make sure the tech behind Wikipedia and sister projects is up and running smoothly. A rather high number-of-users/supporting-staff ratio. All the work we do is public and open source (https://git.wikimedia.org/). You get to work with other paid staff from all around the world, as well as wonderful volunteers. We are about 200 people now, and have an office in San Francisco (although more than half the staff is remote).

Various positions listed at https://jobs.wikimedia.org :)

Both remote workers and people seeking H1B are welcome (Do check the particular job posting to confirm)

My team at Intel is hiring people in the Hillsboro, Oregon area to work on ChromeOS. We're working on enabling support in ChromeOS for each new Intel processor and chipset, optimizing performance and power usage, and adding new features to ChromeOS to take full advantage of new platform functionality.

We're looking for folks who enjoy working anywhere in the software stack, from the Linux kernel up through the browser and everywhere in between, including drivers, X, Mesa, OpenGL, rendering, video, and audio. ChromeOS is an Open Source project; previous experience with development and technical communication in an Open Source environment will carry a lot of weight.

For the full job postings with all the details, see http://jobs.intel.com/job/Hillsboro-ChromeOS-Integration-Sof... and http://jobs.intel.com/job/Hillsboro-Chrome-OS-Validation-Eng... . Feel free to contact me using the email address in my profile; I'm Intel's ChromeOS architect, and I can also put you in contact with the hiring manager for any non-technical questions about the positions. We're primarily seeking permanent hires, but if you're interested in an internship, contact me and we'll see what we can do.

CircleCI (https://circleci.com/jobs) - SF or REMOTE fulltime (in the US)

At CircleCI we're building the next generation of developer automation: amazing Continuous Integration and Deployment. We have traction and revenue and funding and great customers. Our customers love us, because we move quickly, build great things, and provide amazing support. Everyone talks to customers a lot.

We're still a small team, so you'll have a large impact on company culture. We're highly influenced by Valve's Employee handbook, and have as flat a structure as we can.

We're looking for frontend engineers (JS), designers (must be able to HTML+CSS), and backend engineers (Clojure). Being a mix of those is of course welcome! We lean towards senior experienced engineers, or junior engineers who can display great talent.

We're also looking for engineers for sales and marketing positions. Since we have an incredibly technical product, and selling directly to developers, the marketing positions (dev evangelism, CRO, analytics, etc - think a patio11-style engineer) require significant development experience. Sales positions are a good fit for engineers looking for a change, esp those who love automating manual processes.
