Y Combinator has a very big vision, one that goes beyond just funding startups. Yesterday we announced a new partnership with the ACLU: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13531707
Here's a secret most people don't know: software is at the core of our plans for taking YC to the next level.
We're looking for a couple of great hackers to join a small team in San Francisco working on these new projects. It's not a job for everyone, but it would be a good fit for someone who loves startups. Working at YC, you won't just write code, you'll be involved in everything YC does.
Here's an example of something interesting we built recently: http://themacro.com/articles/2016/08/investor-day-software/
If you're a hacker, send us a note here: http://bit.ly/1Od0T2l. You can also email me with questions: [email protected]

Amazon's New Product Demand Forecasting team is responsible for one of the most challenging problems in supply chain optimization: predicting sales for products that have no sales history. This is a uniquely creative space in Forecasting requiring our machine learning models to capture both the nuances of the global consumer marketplace as well as customer behavior on Amazon.
Our team works closely with research scientists to invent new ways to make use of novel data, solve hard engineering problems around scaling and performance in predicting for tens of millions of products, and iterate quickly in order to stay on the cutting edge. I'm looking for an experienced software developer that is comfortable with big data and machine learning and can:
* Design systems that provide a stable base for innovation in a rapidly changing business
* Improve Forecasting algorithms through data-driven analysis and experimentation in our Scala/Spark environment
* Optimize for scalability and performance of both distributed computations and near-metal C++ code
* Learn quickly and keep up with a rapidly changing machine learning and big data landscape
* Communicate their ideas clearly with all members of a diverse team
If this sounds interesting, as the hiring manager I'd love to chat or buy you coffee. Email me (Stefan) at smai@ (amazon.com) with your resume and a brief introduction. (Interview process is 1 phone screen and onsite interview with whiteboard coding and behavioral questions about your experience.)

LWN.net is (IMHO) the premier news site for the free and open-source development community. We are looking for a top-quality writer/editor to join our staff. It's demanding work, because LWN's readership is highly technical and used to high-quality writing by people who understand how the development community works. But it's rewarding, and opportunities for international travel abound. See https://lwn.net/Articles/696258/ for more information.

We're a small team of engineers, designers, and product builders that were brought in to help fix Healthcare.gov in the winter of 2013. Our revamped application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time.
It turns out there’s a lot more to reimagine within government services, which is why we’re partnering with both the Department of Veterans Affairs and Medicare. With the VA, we are working to modernize their appeals system, making millions of veteran’s lives better through the process. Today, the average appeal takes 5 years to process; we can fix this. For Medicare, we are designing and building the architecture for Medicare's historic transition towards value-based care.
It’s surprising how much can be done by a small group of empathetic people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government. We’ve started Nava as a public benefit corporation to radically improve how our government serves its people, and we believe that the services our government provides should be clear and reliable. If you feel the same way, we'd love to hear from you at [email protected]

Build open source software that slowly but surely gathers all historical data in Europe
We're a team of engineers at the Royal Academy of Sciences in the Netherlands. We build a Backend as a Service that allows users to deposit their data[1]. We're looking for front-end / back-end engineers (we prefer people who like a little bit of both) to add features for exposing the data (search, visualisation) and for working with the data (distributes storage, reasoning/inferring knowledge).
We provide an environment where people enjoy freedom of work, where our clients understand the uncertainty of experimentation (they're researchers after all) and where all code is published under an open-source license.
We're using java (yes, voluntarily), react/redux (I know, sooo 2016) and we're hosting on kubernetes (sorry, no disparaging remark here). We don't really care if you've used these exact technologies before, but we do care if you have built up greenfield applications as well as to have worked on applications that have been in development for a few years.
Interview process: phone interview -> at a later date a technical challenge (in person or screenshare) -> final interview (finalizing the agreement)
Drop me a line at jauco.noordzij . huygens.knaw.nl!

OpenAI’s mission is to build safe AI, and ensure AI's benefits are as widely and evenly distributed as possible. We are building a team of researchers and engineers to make the defining breakthroughs in machine learning.
We care about what people will accomplish here much more than what they've already done: for any of our hiring criteria, demonstration of exceptional motivation and potential can overcome a lack of experience. We value personal development; we hire curious, highly-motivated individuals who look to grow in areas where they have not yet achieved mastery.
Our impact is greater than just publishing research papers. We build working systems. We try to empower and strengthen the AI research community, and collaborate freely. We publish our techniques, tools, and methods, and try to find creative approaches for how to improve the progress and impact of ML research.
We're currently hiring software engineers, machine learning researchers, machine learning interns, and a recruiting coordinator.

Consumers get to use software they love, but most businesses are stuck using software they tolerate. We are changing that.
We don’t know what the final product looks like, yet.
To find the answer, we’re going to the source, working with small clients, spending time understanding them. These projects have delivered tremendous value while allowing us to gain deep, exhaustive understanding.
We need talented full stack developers who have empathy for users and love making thoughtful and simple solutions to complex problems; developers who want to see their software used daily and witness a visible improvement in the daily lives of employees, families, and businesses.
Our favorite tools include Node, C#, Angular, Kendo, and React. If you have experience building all parts of modern webapps, value autonomy over routine, and are interested in helping us develop the next generation of software for small and medium businesses, we’d love to hear from you.
80% Y/Y Growth. Profitable. Cash Positive. Currently Four Developers.

The Directions team at Mapbox is looking for someone to help grow our navigation platform infrastructure. We have a core group working on routing algorithms and traffic data analysis, and we need help growing the infrastructure that runs that code (we develop and make heavy use of http://project-osrm.org/).
We use nodejs and AWS services extensively for our infrastructure, so familiarity with those tools is a plus, but by no means a requirement. We like adaptable people who aren't afraid to learn new skills, and bring new perspectives to the table.

What would data analytics infrastructure (namely Hadoop) look like if we rebuilt it from scratch today? We think it would be containerized, modular, and easy enough for a single person to use while still being scalable enough for a whole company. Tools like Docker and Kubernetes provide the perfect building blocks for us revolutionize data infrastructure!
Pachyderm is just 7 people right now, so you'd be getting in right at the ground floor and have an enormous impact on the success and direction of the company as well as building the rest of the engineering team.
Salaries start around $120k and go up from there based on experience. We also offer significant equity, full benefits, and all the usual startup perks. This position is based in SF.

Semantic Machines is developing technology to power the next generation of conversational artificial intelligence: AIs that you can actually have a conversation with. Think Google Assistant or Alexa or Siri, but without having to carefully craft commands like you're talking to a Bash shell.
Our team has built much of the core technology underlying Siri and Google Now, and our founders (including both the former Chief Speech Scientist for Siri and the head of UC Berkeley's Natural Language Processing group) have multiple >$100 million exits under their belt.
We're looking to hire a few talented software engineers and machine learning engineers to help build out technology, by expanding our core NLP infrastructure, data processing pipelines, neural net clusters, and backend services.
Experience with natural language processing systems is a plus, as is experience with the JVM (especially Scala), but we're mainly interested in passionate engineers who can learn quickly and work effectively in complex systems.
Please reach out to me directly or email [email protected]. Thanks!

Credit Karma's mission is to make financial progress possible for everyone. We have over 60 million US members and are a true mission-oriented business, a rare case where our incentives are aligned with our users - we succeed by helping our members attain financial progress.
We've been growing rapidly over the past few years (hypergrowth) and are hiring across a wide range of positions. On the backend side, we are moving to Scala-based microservices using finagle and Thrift, and as well as GraphQL on node.js. Our native iOS and Android apps are #1 in finance (with a 5 star rating on the App Store) and we're rebuilding our website in React + Redux. Our data teams use Kafka, Spark and BigQuery among other technologies.
If you're motivated by growth and impact Credit Karma is probably the best place to work in tech today. We have solved product / market fit and distribution, but compared to our peer unicorns there is still so much work to do. If you look at the gap between our product today and what we are well-positioned to become - the main touchpoint for consumer finance - there is tons of opportunity for people joining now to take on responsibility and ownership and have a meaningful impact.
