## Roles we are hiring for

- Business Analysts: business analysis, documentation, team and tool design

We are looking for people to write technical documentation and to document data structures and processes (open to varying range of technical ability depending on the project).

- Front end design: designers - ideally with some ability to program - to work on usability and aesthetics for our applications and other information-presenting systems, on both web and desktop

- Designers for documentation: Now that non-programming internal work is moving to markdown in git, we are hiring designers to work on templates and mini-logos for documentation and other work.

- Data Science: time series analysis in particular, including high frequency data sets that are too big for simple tools

- Information Security: incident response, threat intelligence, vuln management

- Platform: Platform as Code, Site Reliability Engineers, Windows desktop support; frontline server support and administration; application support

- Legal and Compliance: #lawyerswhocode or who are very comfortable working with markdown in git

## About Us

Symmetry Investments is a post startup USD 9+ billion alternative asset management company with around 250 people across multiple time zones and locations.

Our core technology team has been remote-first for some time, and the whole company is following suit, accelerated by the pandemic.

I'm co-CEO and co-COO, responsible amongst other things for technology across the firm and I’m posting this myself. That should give you an idea both about how seriously we take technology and the culture of the firm.

We are five years into a period of transformation from what was initially a fairly standard enterprise finance technology approach to something new that recognises the importance of both the humane and the technical for discretionary portfolio management and for the business of running an alternative investment manager. [Amaury Sechet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhR4PSExnqk) and [Atila Neves](https://dlang.org/blog/2019/10/15/my-vision-of-ds-future/) have been working with us as long-term consultants and we have many other talented people with lower public profiles.

It's not easy to integrate practitioners who may spend most of their day programming, but are oriented towards solving business problems, with developers who are specialists in programming. To achieve this, we wrote a little functional DSL that's now in production. Type inference of returns and parameters using inequality constraints is in a feature branch and there is plenty more to do on the language itself as well as the ecosystem around it. SIL can compile and call C++, D, and C# at runtime and interoperate with Python and R. What might be a project in itself elsewhere can be just a set of functions in Symmetry Integration Language.

The language is written in D and we have a close involvement with the D Foundation and community, hosting DConf in London. So we are looking for outstanding native code developers who would like to write D as well as people to work with practitioners writing Symmetry Integration Language. Also looking for people to write documentation and work on the build.

It's quite a creative place where we encourage a degree of courage amidst practical constraints, and we are open to doing things a different way if it's commercially sound and in the interests of our investors.

We look for virtues and capabilities over only experience and credentials although those things aren't a disadvantage. Do not let a lack of credentials or qualifications prevent you from applying. We've recently hired experts with C++, Common Lisp, D, Haxe, Haskell, Julia and Perl backgrounds, and are happy to bring them up to speed with the tools we use.

Compensation is currently not quite at Netflix standards but is generous to very generous over time by broad technology industry standards. We recognise and reward technical accomplishment and have a very flat structure - don't be surprised if our founder and Chief Investment Officer starts asking you questions about your work.

BindiMaps | REMOTE or ONSITE | Australia | Full-time | $140k-175k

BindiMaps is an early-stage, funded startup that aims to make indoor spaces accessible for everyone, with an initial focus on vision impaired and neurodivergent individuals.

Our mobile applications run our localisation algorithms to accurately locate users within large indoor spaces, and then guide them to their destination with friendly turn-by-turn directions.

There's also a set of complex web applications that allow us to set up locations, run simulations to verify and debug algorithm performance, and we have client-facing mapping and reporting applications too.

The backend stack runs on GCP, and the web applications primarily use Typescript, React, Docker, and Node, with a bit of Python and Kotlin for some of the algorithm work.

We are hiring to keep up with our rapid growth, and to make our next big push: a camera-based localisation system capable of sub-meter accuracy, and the AR experiences this technology enables. Our current efforts in this area have delivered great results, so we think it's the right time to grow the team.

We are hiring for iOS, Android, and web developer positions[0]. I'm one of the engineers on the team and after a few years I can say it's a great place to work. Competitive salaries, flexibility on where you work (I work remotely but we have offices in Melbourne and Sydney), and a really solid product. There's a very flat org structure, and management trusts the tech team to make the right long-term decisions.

If you'd like to work on a product that provides meaningful social impact as well as real technical challenges, you can apply at [1]. Make sure to mention you're from HN.

Ava Accessibility | REMOTE (FR) or REMOTE (US) depending on role | https://ava.me/jobs

We do live captions for all Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing folks to make every aspect of their lives accessible. This is done as a combination of AI (keywords: diarization, speaker separation, denoising) and Human/AI collaboration for when that extra bit of accuracy is required, like in lectures or important meetings.

We raised Series A this year and are growing the engineering team a lot right now.

I do the AI Engineering Management, got a computer vision/CS background myself, so feel free to ask any questions. :)

US hiring:

* Senior Backend Engineer (mainly Node, TS, AWS, mongo, knowing python would be great)

* Android Engineer (our current dev asked me to clarify that this will be kotlin & jetpack based)

* Head of Engineering

* Principal product designer

France:

* 2x Backend Engineer (working in/with the AI team, but don't worry if you don't know the AI parts, this is classic backend work in NodeJs and python)

* MLOps engineer (working with the researchers to deploy, monitor, and optimize new and existing models. this could be a great green-field experience IMHO!)

* 2x M2 internship (on-device diarization and active learning for diarization)

Just to be clear since this has come up before, for the FR positions you need to be located in France, not anywhere else in Europe.

You can reach me at daan@ by mail, or just comment here.

Edited to clarify tech.
