Lumicks | C++ Developers | Amsterdam, NL | FULL-TIME, ONSITE, VISA | lumicks.com Lumicks is bringing novel tools for single-molecule biophysics and cell avidity to market, enabling scientific researchers across biology and medicine to unlock new types of experiments.

Our primary technology, C-Trap, can be used to "grab" a single molecule, and apply precise mechanical forces to it. At the same time, one can visualize the molecule using highly-sensitive fluorescence microscopy. Our customers use it to watch DNA being copied by the molecular machinery of the cell, or observe molecular "engines" walking across the scaffolding structures of a human cell. Lumicks systems are currently in use in opinion-leading labs across the globe, including Stanford, Johns Hopkins University, Tsinghua University, NIH, Max Planck Institute, TU Delft, and Imperial College London.

We also produce z-Movi, the only instrument that can directly measure the overall strength of interaction between cells ("avidity"). This new technology, based on acoustic waves, could have an enormous impact on research in immunology, paving the way for new therapies for cancer.

We're an academic spin-off from a research group at VU University Amsterdam. We care deeply about providing our users with easy-to-use, reliable software that actively supports Open Data and Reproducible Science. To make this happen, we're looking to expand our software engineering team with additional:

C++ developers -- https://lumicks.com/vacancies/c-software-developer/

Our technology stack (familiarity with all of these is not required): C++17 (soon 20) for the core code, Qt5 for the UI and Python 3 for bindings. CMake builds everything. Libraries we use include abseil, asio, caf (c++ actor framework), catch2, cereal, fmt, hdf5/highfive, opencv, ranges-v3 and spdlog. Our GUIs are a mix of Qt widgets and QML (we are migrating torwards the latter). Our Python bindings are implemented using pybind11. On the hardware side, we have lasers. Lots and lots of lasers.

The art is actually really nice. Great job on the clear landing page, and thanks for sharing!

Lumicks B.V. | C++ Developer | Amsterdam, NL | Full Time | ONSITE | lumicks.com

Lumicks is unlocking the tools of single-molecule biophysics for researchers worldwide. With our easy-to-use C-Trap and AFS systems, scientists can visualize life at the level of single molecules, while at the same time applying tiny mechanical forces. This is key to understanding the complex biological processes that are at the root of many challenging diseases.

We're an academic spin-off from a research group at VU University Amsterdam. Having sold the first dozen instruments to opinion-leading labs in Harvard, Rockefeller University, ShanghaiTech, Max-Planck, and others, we are now expanding the software team. We care deeply about providing our users with easy-to-use, reliable software that actively supports Open Data and Reproducible Science.

Our team is small, and you'll have the opportunity to work across the stack. Keywords: C++11/14/17, Qt 5, Python 3. We're a high-energy workplace with an informal culture.

Fair question --- colleague of agom here, BTW. I just discussed extensively with one of the people here at Lumicks, as I was wondering the same thing.

I think it's meant as a proxy for "enjoys a startup, not a 9-to-5 mentality, as we're still very much in an early growth phase, where people need to be a bit flexible". I may try to push for us to drop the "recently" bit, as I'm not convinced it's a proxy that's fair to use for this position.

So personally, I wouldn't take that particular adjective too seriously.

Thanks for reaching out!

ANI/Plaid reminded me of the LabVIEW visual dataflow language, which is quite widely used in the branch of physics I used to work in, for data acquisition and instrument control. While I've often longed for a text-based alternative that plays better with modern version control and my favorite text editors, I have to say that having everything laid out for you in a visual way does make it easier to reason about the execution flow. That is, after a few years of working with it --- initially, this paradigm shift was rather a painful stretch of the nerves.

If every language has its own specific dark patterns and bottlenecks, LabVIEW's is definitely the "brightly-colored spaghetti" structural breakdown of an advanced beginner's code :-)

Incidentally, why do we, as programmers, tend to focus on a language's bottlenecks so much, in such an emotionally charged way? Any psychology-of-programming people out here? You might consider LabVIEW an excellent case study in getting on people's nerves...
