Seattle Jobs - November 2021

Vera C. Rubin Observatory | Senior Software Manager | Pittsburgh or Seattle | Full time

The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), which will be carried out by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, is the flagship ground-based astronomical survey of the 2020s. We are looking for a seasoned and experienced Senior Manager to build and lead a distributed team of software engineers to design and build a cloud-based analysis framework that can store, search, analyze and annotate data of the volume and complexity of the LSST data. This framework will provide an interface for the astronomical community to run real time and batch analyses to, for example, search for one-in-a-million events in continuous streams of data. You will shape, drive and execute this vision and priorities to build one of the first scalable science platforms, possibly with long-term consequences for the future of astronomical software.

LSST will generate the deepest-ever, multi-color, 10-year-long movie of the southern sky, detecting 30 billion stars and galaxies and amassing 100 PB of imaging and catalog data. The scientific reach of the LSST will be extraordinary, addressing questions such as: how did the Solar System form; what governs the birth and death of stars; how does dark matter sculpt the shape of our Galaxy; will an asteroid devastate the Earth in the next century; what is the nature of the dark energy that drives the expansion of our Universe?

The position is available immediately and can be held at either university. You can apply to either the University of Washington or Carnegie Mellon - all applications will be reviewed jointly.

For Full stack engineers, we use Angular, Typescript, Java 11, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and we're built on AWS. Our interview loop is one or two ~1-hour phone screenings, followed by a ~4 hours video call - and we've designed it to approximate realistic day-to-day coding and code review (no algorithm riddles).

Spot | Full-stack Engineer, 3D Engineer | Seattle, WA (US-remote ok) | spotvirtual.com

Help build your ideal remote working experience. We are building a 3D virtual workplace (dare I say metaverse?) inside the browser that bridges the gap between being remote and being in-person. If you are interested in game dev, this is probably the closest thing that comes with a web dev salary. Our team is small, but experienced, and this would be a ground-level role that would provide an opportunity to help shape the technology and company in a really foundational way. Our founders are experienced and most recently founded a Seattle startup that has achieved unicorn status.

Our stack is Typescript, Babylon.js, React, Apollo/GraphQL, and Nest.js. Everything is built on top of AWS using modern tooling. We are looking for someone who has some familiarity in the tech stack and is excited about the space. This position will be remote, but the ideal candidate will be one who enjoys/misses many aspects of a physical workplace.
