Caladan Bio | ONSITE in New York, NY | Frontend Developer | full-time | https://caladan.bio | $130-$180k |

I'm Rob, cofounder & cto at Caladan. We're building 250ml modular bioreactors for synthetic biology scale-up. I'm looking for a frontend engineer to help build the application used to run the actual reactors. Heavy timeseries and analytic interfaces, experiment design, and visualization of bioengineering systems. Building with React & TypeScript on the frontend, Django on the backend with a lot of other embedded systems in the mix.

Benefits, equity. We just closed a seed round and will be launching with customers later this year and early next year. Working from Brooklyn and would prefer someone who can come into the lab and get a bit of hands-on experience with the hardware while we're building out the software.

Email a blurb and a resume to jobs@caladan.bio if you're interested!

I do think leaning on the Django ORM for so many years has hurt my ability to write SQL on its own, but it's just about the only ORM thats ever clicked for me in that way.

I remap caps lock to ctrl on my OS which does make it a little more ergonomic, but I still prefer your method. Although, whatever wizard taught me vim and gave me their beginner cheat sheet had jj instead of jk.

I've heard this advice a number of times, but often run up against otherwise standard looking systems that rely on secrets in environment variables -- mainly thinking about AWS's requirement when using Secrets Manager with ECS; the secrets are stored securely, but ultimately loaded into a containers environment.

I've found I can handle an extra 10 hours of work a week without negatively impacting the rest of my life -- work, social, sleep, hobbies. I've gotten all my contract work from prior work relationships or referrals from friends.

At this point, I'm looking to switch from hourly to project-based pricing -- I'm finally efficient enough to charge by value; there are only so many billable hours in a day.
