Lombard, Illinois | On-Site | Full- or Part-Time

This may be the red-headed stepchild of HN job postings but we're looking for high school teachers to teach English, Biology, Math, Physics, and Computer Science at a private college preparatory school.

Responsibilities would include teaching as well as overseeing extracurricular activities and developing improvements to the curriculum.

Educational background/past experience is preferred but not absolutely required. If you have a passion for teaching and have a degree or real-world experience in these fields, just write and we'll see!

We want to break with the traditional mold of academics and show our kids what real world success looks like—and what it takes to get there.

Discord | Software Engineer - Unannounced Project | San Francisco | Onsite | Fulltime

Hey HN! We're hiring engineers for a low-level systems programming/reverse engineering role. More deets here: https://discordapp.com/jobs/4200751002

Notably absent from the list of requirements is professional work experience or a college degree. If you're a self-taught programmer passionate about this kind of work, please apply! (Of course, that doesn't mean we're not looking for more senior people as well.) As someone who got their first "real" job from a Who's Hiring thread (this one, actually: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1958374) I'm super excited to be able to offer the same kind of opportunity to people who might be having a hard time getting through resume filters due to their unusual background.

Feel free to apply through the website (I personally look at every submission), but if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me at cmFtc2V5QGRpc2NvcmRhcHAuY29t or on Discord at cmFtc2V5IzAwMDE=. Happy to give career advice or answer any questions you might have, even if you don't think you're a good fit for the role.

We're also hiring for a bunch of other stuff, but I'm not the hiring manager for those teams. If low-level/systems programming isn't your cup of tea, check out the rest of our openings here: https://discordapp.com/jobs

[mettamage]

Are you willing to hire non-US citizens? Reverse engineering is fun and I might be a fit (e.g. having played around with IDA Pro to reverse binaries and Spectre and Meltdown, among other things).

It seems I can't add you to talk to D: I don't have any mutual servers with you, and sending you a friend request doesn't work

Stacker | React & Python Developers | REMOTE | FULL-TIME + PART-TIME | https://stacker.app

Stacker lets you build web apps, without code, in your browser.

And not just landing pages and splash sites either. We're talking full-on, pixel-perfect, I-cant-believe-its-not-code apps that can do complex stuff: communities, marketplaces, business systems, social networks. We think there's so much out there that could be built if we just gave people the tools to make it themselves.

We're letting non-developers build apps without code. Unsurprisingly, we need a lot of code to do that. Come and help us build it!

We're hiring:

- React Developers. This ain't your grandma's React app. Help us push React to its limits as we build a frontend builder in a frontend builder https://stacker.app/jobs/react

- Python Developers. We're building a backend that flexibly connects to any data-source (DB or API) and serves it up as if it were our own https://stacker.app/jobs/python

- Fortran Developers. We don't actually use fortran, but it sounds super cool. Keep it up!

We're fully remote (currently based in UK, Switzerland, South Africa, France, Spain + China), and flexible about working arrangements.

If this sounds like the sort of problem you'd like to work on, apply now: https://stacker.app/jobs.

> US-ONLY REMOTE

Paperwork wise, working with foreign contractors is much easier compared to US ones - they just send invoice PDF-s at the end of the months, and the company does the regular bank wire transfer. So what's the reason you are not open to this?

[souprock]

Southeast USA including: Virginia (Arlington and Dulles), Maryland (Annapolis Junction), South Carolina (Greenville), Alabama (Huntsville), Florida (beach east of 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, 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 houses that commonly go for $150,000 to $450,000.

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

This sounds perfect. Except for the "citizenship is a job requirement" :-(

Oh my gosh. This would be a literal dream job for me, but I live in the UK and can only really work remote for the moment.

ABL Space Systems | Full-stack Software Engineer | Los Angeles, CA | Full-time | Onsite

ABL Space Systems was founded in 2017 by SpaceX veterans to build the world's best small launch vehicle. Our first rocket, the RS1, will be a highly-capable, cost-effective vehicle for placing small satellites into orbit. We are looking for experienced software engineers to help us build out the information systems that serve as the technological foundation for critical operations across the company.

Our in-house software team currently has one member (that's me), so this is an opportunity to have a huge impact as the company works toward the first launch next year. We are builing a comprehensive set of tools that facilitate engineering design, factory build operations, test campaigns, inventory management, full part traceability, supply chain oversight, part procurement, and launch site procedures – to name a few. It's not every day that a web application helps launch stuff into space! I personally find it very rewarding to wake up each morning and contribute to this exciting mission and push humanity a tiny bit further out into the cosmos.

The backend is a python Flask app, and our frontend is written with React + Mobx. Experience in those technologies is not required, but we are looking for engineers comfortable across the stack and who proactively seek out and learn what is required to solve the problem at hand.

If this sounds interesting at all, please reach out. I would love to talk. My e-mail: [email protected]
