Spring Discovery | Senior Software Engineers | Full-Time | SF Bay Area | ONSITE or REMOTE

Spring Discovery is accelerating the discovery of therapies by empowering scientists with superpowers.

We're an interdisciplinary team of biologists and technologists developing a new approach to scientific analysis – one where machine learning, great software, and cross-team collaboration is at its heart. We apply these techniques in partnership with other biopharma companies to help them search for drugs, and we also license our software / technology to other scientific teams.

We're looking for senior engineers with a bent on making a difference in the scientific space. Experience with scientific datasets/products is a bonus, but not at all required. Other things we'd be interested in: strong systems thinkers, production experience handling large amounts of customer data, and Rust proficiency.

Get a sense of some of the technology we build and the promising results they've uncovered by reading our blog posts:

We're fortunate to have great backing from top investors, including General Catalyst, First Round, Laura Deming's Longevity Fund, Felicis, Caffeinated Capital, Sam Altman, and more.

Small team. Tons of ownership. Hugely impactful space at intersection of ML + science. If this sounds interesting to you, head on over to https://ats.rippling.com/spring/jobs

Spring Discovery | Machine Learning Engineers | Full-Time | SF Bay Area | ONSITE preferred (REMOTE possible – let's discuss)

Spring Discovery is building a machine learning platform to accelerate the discovery of therapies for aging. Why? Simply because aging is the single greatest risk factor for the most detrimental diseases we know of – cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, even COVID-19 (see our work on this in [1] below). By understanding and treating the biological damage accumulated as we age, we can find powerful new therapies for fighting disease and living not only longer, but healthier lives.

Over the past few decades, an unignorable amount of evidence has piled up from the best labs in the world showing that this is possible [2]. However, the research, while promising, has been frustratingly slow. We’re leveraging the power of machine learning to dramatically improve the experimental process and we believe this approach has the potential to unlock a whole new class of therapeutic discoveries.

We're fortunate to have great backing from top investors, including General Catalyst, First Round, Laura Deming's Longevity Fund, Felicis, Caffeinated Capital, Sam Altman, and more. And our advisory board includes both world leaders in aging research and senior pharma execs.

We have a great early team of senior engineers (ex-Google, Khan Academy, CZI, Freenome) collaborating tightly with leading scientists in the field. But we need help to continue scaling out our ML approaches and platform. We’re looking for experienced ML engineers / applied researchers who would enjoy working on helping us answers on large biological datasets. Yes, you belong even if you don't have a bio background — we're a cross-functional team. (Although of course biology experience is a plus).

Khan Academy — Mountain View, CA (we also love interns, and remote is a possibility)

We're a small, non-profit tech startup bringing a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Here's a testimonial we received last week:

==================================

I just want to say thank you a billion times to Khan Academy. My Geometry midterm was this Tuesday. I was worried, because I barely passed my Algebra one last year. Enter Khan Academy. It was great practice, as they had a good amount questions where you had to manipulate on screen variables, rather than just answer multiple choice questions. This stood out to me, as my school gives tests with these types of questions and no other review site i found had them. We got our scores back, and I was the only person in my class that got an A. It's not really an "inspiring" story, but hey, I figured I'd share it anyway.

==================================

Mia might not think so, but her story does inspire and makes me happy to go to work here. Every month we get hundreds of letters like this from people in all walks of life who are thankful for our free, high-quality educational content. Most of you reading this are familiar with Sal's videos, but we also have hundreds of videos by other teachers, partnerships with organizations like MoMA and the California Academy of Sciences, and a huge library of interactive exercises. Over 20 million math problems are done every week on our site.

A few things we're currently working on building right now:

– Major improvements to our iOS app to let students practice skills on the go (or in a classroom with iPads!) [1]

– Improved knowledge models so we can better know what you know and don't know [2]

– Infrastructure improvements to make the site more reliable and faster for our millions of visitors every month [3]

– Better tools for our content creators to allow them to make thousands of engaging, interactive exercise problems without knowing how to code [4]

You'll be part of a small team working alongside both "celebrity" devs (like jQuery creator John Resig and Google's first employee Craig Silverstein) and many more who you haven't heard of but who are also really awesome.

==================================

We're especially looking for mobile designers/devs but we have a handful of other positions open -- take a look and see if anything suits you.

Apply at https://www.khanacademy.org/careers and mention that you're coming from HN. Feel free to ask me here if you have questions about applying or about KA in general. Unfortunately we can't sponsor visas right now unless you're from Canada, Australia, or Mexico.

You've likely already discovered this, but in the off chance not, you can set your keymap to match Eclipse. Just go in Preferences > Keymap, and select Eclipse or Eclipse OS X from the dropdown.

Thanks for applying! Our coordinator was away for a few days last week but I'll pass this on and we'll make sure we get to yours soon.

We've had interns come from lots of different programs and stay for different lengths, though most are in the 3-4 month range. That doesn't mean it wouldn't work out if it's outside of that range and it doesn't mean that we're not willing to consider other possibilities, though.

You should definitely feel free to apply and explain your situation!

We're a small, non-profit tech startup bringing a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere.

Here's a testimonial we received last week:

==================================

I have been using your site for almost three years now. I am a 9th grade homeschooler who has always done okay in math, but I had some major gaps and lacked mastery in a lot of concepts, especially with fractions. Ever since I have started Khan, I have been able to go back and not only fill in those gaps, but master them. And now, fractions are one of the concepts I do best!

This site is amazing and continues to get better every month. Thank you to Sal Khan, the Khan team, all its sponsors, and all its interns for making this site better and more available to all students from around the world. Please keep doing what you are doing!

– Tons of improvements to our core learning dashboard [1] and predictive knowledge models [2] so we can better personalize a learner's experience

– Infrastructure improvements to make the site more reliable and faster for our millions of visitors every month [3]

– Better tools for our content creators to allow them to make thousands of engaging, interactive exercise problems without knowing how to code [4]

– A major revision to our iOS app to let students practice skills on the go (or in a classroom with iPads!)

- Expanding access for the billions of learners around the globe through various internationalization efforts

You'll be part of a small team working alongside both "celebrity" devs (like jQuery creator John Resig, and Google's first employee Craig Silverstein) and many more who you haven't heard of but who are also really awesome.

We're especially looking for new product designers (of all types) but we also have many engineering positions open as well as some positions for a teacher and contract question writers.

Apply at https://www.khanacademy.org/careers and mention that you're coming from HN. Feel free to reply here if you have questions about applying or about KA in general. Unfortunately we can't sponsor visas right now unless you're from Canada, Australia, or Mexico.

Mountain View, CA - full-time and intern, designers and devs

Khan Academy's mission is to provide a free world-class education for anyone anywhere.

Over 1 billion math problems have been done on our site and 2 million more are done each day. Here's some stuff we've been working on lately:

* creating adaptive assessments to accurately measure student knowledge

* running new A/B tests every week to learn how best to teach students and grow our userbase

* building infrastructure to allow us to scale up our content creation efforts

* internationalizing our entire website to enable pilot implementations in Mexico and Brazil

If any of this might sound interesting to you, we'd love to hear from you. We're hiring designers and all types of devs -- mobile, frontend, backend, analytics. Unfortunately, we've got a full class of interns for this summer already, but we welcome interns all year round.

Khan Academy - Mountain View, CA Full-time and intern, designers and devs

We're a non-profit whose mission is to provide a world-class education to anyone, anywhere. We're scaling quickly. Our students answer over 2 million math problems per day (over 800mm total so far), all generated by our open source exercise generation framework (https://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises), and our videos (now from a variety of authors including Sal) have been viewed over 200mm times. We're tracking all that data and using it to customize each student's experience as well as building brand-new tools like our new programming environment (http://ejohn.org/blog/introducing-khan-cs/). We could use your help. Working for Khan Academy is one of the highest educational impact positions you can imagine, and we've been called by Wired one of the best places to work in Silicon Valley: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4157078. We're hiring designers and all types of devs -- mobile, frontend, backend, whatever you want to call yourself. Big plans ahead. http://www.khanacademy.org/careers
