Laka | Full-time | London, Bristol in UK | multiple roles | https://laka.co or apply directly https://apply.workable.com/laka

* Digital Product Manager

* Product Designer

* QA/Test Engineer

Feel free to drop me a line at jens@laka.co.uk if you have any questions.

Laka is a collective insurance provider, disrupting the cycling and e-mobility industry.

Our mission is to fuel personal mobility across Europe, sustainably and with benefits for all. To do that, we provide collective cover for cyclists.

Traditional insurance is the best business model in the world - just not for customers. The traditional model is based on insurers taking your money and profiting from not paying out claims. They make money by not doing the very thing you pay them to do. We think that’s insane.

So we have rebuilt insurance from scratch – sharing risk in a true collective. Our members share the cost of all claims, and we only earn our share when settling claims for the collective.

Heron Data | Founding Engineer | London | Full time | On-site https://www.herondata.io/company/careers-2

Heron Data is a Y Combinator-backed technology company based in Farringdon, London. We are a team of three founders on a mission to accelerate innovation in fintech, initially by helping companies make sense of their customers' bank transaction data to generate insights and power features.

As the first hire outside of the three co-founders, this role is as close to being a founder of a company as you can get without starting one yourself! Your role will be to define and deliver features, fully own parts of our stack, and ultimately do whatever is needed to help our customers be happy.

This role is based in London - working from home is generally possible for some part of the week, and potentially mandatory for the immediate future. As the first employee, you will receive substantial equity compensation.

You should:

- Have experience writing and shipping production-grade code that makes a real impact. We don't mind where you got the experience, but having some is crucial.

- Be comfortable working across the stack and be curious about new technologies. We would prefer if in addition to this versatility and curiosity, you have deep experience or specialisation in one of front-end, back-end, infrastructure or NLP/ML.

- Be entrepreneurial. This means finding problems without being told about them, thinking independently about issues and clearly advocating your position, and taking full ownership of your work, even if things go wrong.

If you're interested, contact us directly at hello@herondata.io!

LUMICKS | C++ Developers | Amsterdam, NL | FULL-TIME, ONSITE when safe to do so, VISA | http://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.

We produce z-Movi, a unique instrument that can directly measure the overall strength of interaction between cells ("avidity") and could have an enormous impact on research in immunology, paving the way for new therapies for cancer. In collaboration with end users, we have developed a fast and intuitive workflow software that takes you from defining your parameters to viewing your data in no time.

We also build C-Trap, which 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'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 -- http://lumicks.com/vacancies/cpp-software-developer We use the following technologies. When applying, it's fine to be familiar with a subset of these:

C++17 (soon 20) for the core code, Qt5 (QML) for the UI and Python 3 for bindings. CMake builds everything and Conan manages the dependencies. Libraries we use include abseil, asio, caf (C++ actor framework), catch2, cereal, fmt, opencv, ranges-v3 and spdlog. Our Python bindings are implemented using pybind11.

We are a small team based out of London (UK) on a mission to make the world better friends. On the back of a successful beta launch of our flagship app, we just this month closed a £2m Seed round from some of the world's top VCs (not yet publicly announced). Our founding team includes engineers from Google, Monzo and Skyscanner while our advisory board includes the originator of Dunbar's number, Snapchat's 1st Engineer, Bumble's Chief Brand Officer and many more.

We've been using React Native from day one, and while it has gotten us very far very quickly, we're starting to hit some of the roadblocks that should be familiar to anyone who has worked with React Native. We're now looking to hire someone who has a deep understanding of the underlying platforms (iOS and Android), to help us implement native components where performance and user experience matter most.

Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE [REMOTE during the plague] (London, UK; also Downtown LA, California)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small and agile team in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help a sunny satellite office too. For the time being, thanks to Covid, we are in fully remote mode.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python, C++ (replacing still present Erlang[ß]) and Javascript for React & React-Native, relying heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. The tech stack sports Kafka, Postgres and Kubernetes. We use REST where we can, and gRPC where we can't. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Production environment is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for engineering talent all across the board: frontend and mobile, infrastructure, data science, trading engine, security - and of course generalists, those yet to find their calling.

If you like the idea of flat structure and practical engineering approach, see our jobs at https://smarkets.com/careers .

---

ß: to pre-empt questions on why C++ or why not Erlang - our exchange team have promised to put together a proper write-up on the tradeoffs, design constraints, performance needs, etc. In fullness of time, that is, when the most painful (and probably interesting) migrations are behind them.

Causal | Full-stack Engineer | London (UK) or REMOTE | https://causal.app

Causal is a human way to think and communicate with numbers. Our product is a number-crunching tool that's a bit like a spreadsheet and a bit like programming. Our vision is to be the de-facto way for anyone to work with numbers on a computer.

We're very early stage, but well-funded by some great investors across the US and Europe, and ready to make our first hire.

---

Role: Full-stack Engineer

Our stack is React/Redux/TypeScript on the frontend, and Node/TypeScript on the backend. We're looking for engineers who have experience with these technologies.

Our product primarily consists of a web UI on the frontend and a computation engine on the backend. The product needs a low floor and a high ceiling — it should be simple enough for anyone to get started with, but powerful enough for really complex use-cases. Performance is paramount on both the frontend and backend.

Our next big project is a rewrite of the computation engine to efficiently handle models with up to 1M nodes. The challenge is to show the user instant results (frontend) when possible and run complex operations (Monte-Carlo simulations, API calls) on the backend. We also want to improve our multi dimensional modeling capabilities which leads to various UI/UX challenges.

Our roadmap contains more projects we're planning to work on: https://www.notion.so/00f79272b4ec4d6790ec98120788d850.

We have a nice office in London (UK) but are also open to remote hires. If this sounds interesting then I'd love to chat! taimur (at) causal.app

We are excited by people who want to constantly innovate; borrow from other industries, experiment with new tools and pool their knowledge with other solution seekers; people who have shipped entire projects with ownership and autonomy; people who take pride in what gets built, all the whilst balancing day-to-day pragmatism with building for the future.
