Zest Dermatology | Remote (USA residents only) | Full-time | Systems Administrator / Software Engineer | https://zesthealth.com
Zest is a virtual dermatology clinic that delivers care for chronic eczema and psoriasis with a level of satisfaction and patient outcomes that are unheard of in conventional dermatology. What makes Zest particularly exciting is its value-based health care business model, a topic worth researching all on its own!
We are looking to add an experienced Linux and web application wizard to our small and agile core engineering team. As part of the core team you will work across and become familiar with the entire stack, and the focus will be on maintaining the AWS infrastructre (orchestrated in Terraform). If you are excited at all by the idea of using nix in a professional environment, you are very strongly encouraged to apply. (We're also not 100% married to it and will make pragmatic decisions when necessary ;).)
You'll be working with me directly, and joining at at time where your voice will be extremely infuential to the future of engineering at the business. We have an _engineering-first_ approach to IT that should be a breath of fresh air to any veteran of the IT scene!
Because of data export restrictions and access to protected health records, all applicants must reside full time in the US. Please send a resume and cover letter directly to me: hn-hiring [at] [website domain] and make sure to mention HN in the subject line.

Traintime is an amazing app. Love it!

Great job with the apps and signage. Rooting for your team!

Same!! I’m glad people are excited to make the MTA better. One of the best parts about NYC!

Out of completely idle curiosity, can you share what some of the LAN/WAN network connections look like for those screens? I've stared at many cables/wires and antennas that have been retrofitted into the ceilings of NYC subway stations, and sometimes it looks like multiple generations of stuff that's been added to incrementally over the past 100 years like a coral reef growing new conduit and cabling.
And then there's the cellular carrier stuff that's been put into many stations, which generally is easy to pick out because it's relatively new/clean and has distinctive antenna types.

Hi Bill, I've seen your Senior SWE, Windows Desktop App position listed for quite a while, given it seems you're having a hard time filling it would you be willing to loosen the "consumer facing" part of the requirements? I'm very interested and I believe I'm an excellent fit in every other way.
I've built very sophisticated C# applications that simplify complex lighting algorithms to allow users to simply control the light timing in an automated fruit sorting machine. Unfortunately as these applications were used by business customers it seems I don't tick that "consumer facing" box despite over a decade of experience building C# UIs.

You seem to be over qualified if anything. Why do they need a desktop app? A webview window with a search box seems pretty simple.

Hey HN, this is Bryant (Webflow [YCS13] cofounder, founding CTO now Chief Architect, and head of Webflow Labs).
At Webflow Labs, we're redefining what it means to build for the web, again. We’re building a team of experienced full stack engineers that are now AI-obsessed to bring audacious innovations to life.
Webflow is a growth stage company now (top 20? YC company by revenue) but we still have the spirit of a small company.
