Designated robotics and automation geek at Radix Labs (YC S18). Background in manufacturing, industrial engineering, robotics, automation, and continuous improvement. I love robotics and automation, especially when they're in huge industrial production facilities.
Previously did consulting with my consulting company: Chordate Robotics. Before that, Boston Engineering, Hydroid, and Kongsberg Maritime. Masters from the University of Cambridge at the IfM (Industrial Systems, Manufacturing and Management) and undergrad from Olin College of Engineering (MechE).
Vocal advocate for women and minorities in tech and am usually willing to do what I can to help young people.
If you're not doing sales and marketing, it's a hobby not a business. It's fine to have a hobby! As I see it, you a choice: stop thinking of your hobby as a business or make your hobby a business by either learning to do sales and marketing or hiring someone who can do them for you.
About 20% of our team has ADHD and are thriving. We found this out when trying to do some internal usability testing on our UI. We don't explicitly target being ADHD friendly, but actively endeavor to be a good employer for all sorts of neurodiversity. We view people as individuals and manage and allocate tasks with awareness of each person's strengths. We're hiring for people to work on our UI as well as our compiler, scheduler, and hardware device drivers. If you're interested, send me an email at halie at radix.bio. I can say that we're extremely good at keeping people from getting bored since we have more interesting problems than time.
Radix Labs (YC S18) | Software Engineers & Sales, Marketing, Content, and PR BD | Cambridge, MA, USA (Boston area) | Full Time and Co-Op/INTERNS | REMOTE & VISA okay
We’re hiring for just about everything right now. Most of our code is in Scala w/ Akka & Cats and we run on the HashiCorp (Nomad, Consul, Vault, & Terraform) stack. We don’t expect you to know Scala already, but past functional programming experience is helpful. Our front-end is in Typescript + React. We’re hiring for compilers & VM, automation and robotics, front-end, customer facing, hardware reverse engineering, and scheduling engineering focus areas. We’re very collaborative. Wearing many hats is accepted and encouraged. On the front-end, we’re going to start work on our visual programming language soon, so if that sounds interesting to you, please reach out!
For BD, we’re hiring people for outbound sales, marketing, content, and PR (emphasis on earned media). We strongly prefer BD candidates who are biology literate or comfortable.
Biology has talented PhD Biologists spend 5 hours a day on hard to reproduce, unoptimized minutia that isn’t innovative. Radix Labs hopes to accelerate biotech innovation like early compilers did for computing by enabling lab protocols to seamlessly operate and be optimized across physical labs. Come join our world-class diverse, inclusive, and caring team! You won't be the only woman, trans person, POC, latino/a/x, non-US citizen, wearer of silly hats, or cat! We offer equity, unlimited PTO, medical, dental, and vision insurance, mechanical keyboard budget, and flexible work hours.
Job postings should be live on our website in the next few days (once I finish writing them), but if you’re interested, have questions, or want to take writing a JD off my to-do list, reach out and I can send you something or we can talk (halie at radix.bio).

Radix Labs | Software Engineers esp. Front End Engineers | Cambridge, MA, USA (Boston area) | Full Time and Co-Op/INTERNS Biology has talented PhD Biologists spend 5 hours a day on hard to reproduce, unoptimized minutia that isn’t innovative. Radix Labs hopes to accelerate biotech innovation like early compilers did for computing by enabling lab protocols to seamlessly operate and be optimized across physical labs. Our software makes biology reproducible, faster, more efficient, and lets smart biologists focus on the science instead of managing the implementation. We do this by developing a compiler, operating system, scheduler, and device drivers for biology labs and protocols. We have funding from Ycombinator (S18), Firstminute Capital, MIT's The Engine, and Nikesh Arora.
Technologies: 100% Scala code base but we don't require you know it already. (It's helpful if you have past functional programming experience with Erlang, Ocaml, Prolog, Haskell, or similar.) Other tech: HashiCorp stack (Nomad, Consul, & Terraform), Apache Kafka, Akka, ScalaJS React, Z3, Cats, Bazel w/ rules_scala, (some) AWS.
We'll hire smart, good people who are interested in working with us regardless of openings. Right now we're especially looking for a brave, experienced front end developer to lead developing our front end visual programming language that biologists use to describe their protocols to the rest of our software. We're also happy to hire people who are interested in working on compilers and virtual machines for biology labs. Come join our world-class diverse, inclusive, and caring team! You won't be the only woman, trans person, POC, latino/a/x, non-US citizen, wearer of silly hats, or parakeet! We will consider remote candidates and those who need visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis. We offer equity, great salary, unlimited PTO, medical, dental, and vision insurance, mechanical keyboard budget, and flexible work hours. Any questions, send me an email: halie at radix.bio
