This is interesting. So the API would take a URL and return the article text? (sorting out what from the site is "noise" like navigation, and what is the article?) Is this the same sort of thing that a web clipper like Evernote has, to simplify an online web page, or is there more? What is a use case that would be valuable for you?

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2019) 7 years ago

At Gecko Robotics, we do predictive maintenance inspections on tanks, boilers, and other industrial infrastructure with wall-climbing robots. Every year, over $100 billion is spent on industrial maintenance. Gecko has developed wall-climbing robots that increase inspection coverage and dramatically reduce plant downtime, resulting in millions saved. Our Toka series of robots is the first to climb and inspect boiler walls using ultrasound transducers and an array of sensors and cameras. We raised a $7M Series A round this fall led by investors like the Founders Fund, Justin Kan, and Mark Cuban and are looking to rapidly grow our engineering team.

We’re currently hiring software engineers for our data processing and visualization platform. At the end of the day, software and data is Gecko’s true product. Our engineers are building an industry-leading platform that gives our customers a comprehensive and interactive view of their industrial assets over time, as well as a suite of software tools for advanced robot control systems.

We’re looking for people with experience in any of the following areas:

* React.js / Web development and design (UI/UX)

* Python (Django) / backend development & 3D visualization and mapping libraries (Three.js, D3, etc.)

* Data processing for batch and stream workloads (e.g., Apache Beam)

* Signal processing for ultrasound and other sensing technologies

Tech Stack: Python (Bokeh, Django, Flask, Pandas), JavaScript, React, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Postgres, BigQuery
