The thing too many forget is that if we didn't flatten the curve our entire medical system was going to collapse. It's insane that people don't yet understand this concept and can't even empathize with medical professionals. Yes, we all struggled, but try talking to medical professionals to see how they did.

When something doesn't happen because enough measures were taken, then it wasn't worth it because it didn't happen?

Appreciate the feedback. I'm trying to avoid more spam, is all.

Help us solve one of the most important problems of the decade: privacy.

Now more than ever individuals need to be in control of their privacy and identity--that is our vision.

We're a fast-growing, Series C startup (raised recently despite the downturn), working with some of the best brands who get this, and are built on trust.

For the ML role, you'll be working with me, DG co-founder, to classify data in a privacy-preserving way, amongst other cool challenges. The ideal candidate has strong software engineering + well-rounded ml chops, and can build solutions end-to-end. Bonus points if you're entrepreneurial. We've had a couple of people start companies, and more in the pipeline.

DataGrail | Senior Software Engineer (Frontend) | Onsite in San Francisco (once opened) or Fully Remote

We're building a data privacy platform that ensures data privacy doesn't suck.

As more regions implement privacy laws, most companies are challenged to comply. Our platform streamlines this entire process while enabling companies to give their users more control and transparency over their data.

We are currently powering privacy for many well-known orgs, and have continued with very healthy growth despite the times.

We're looking for someone with 5+ years of experience to help shape our frontend architecture and build great experiences.

Tech Stack: React, Styled Components, Jest, Ruby/Rails, Postgres, and more

Help us build data privacy as a service.

Data privacy / data protection should be a no-brainer, but the reality is that many organizations were not built with privacy in mind (the HN crowd knows all too well), so we're looking to make this not suck. In doing so, we'll give consumers better control over their data without all the needless hurdles one currently confronts.

Our stack (and growing):

* aws (codedeploy, rds, athena, etc) * ruby/rails, react * a bit of python, go and likely to grow * integrations with redshift, mysql, oracle db, snowflake, s3 data lakes, and more.

If interested, email me (co-founder & cto): iz|at|datagrail.io

That's because, ML and operations-research problems can be simplified to set of optimization problems and the underlying math and statistics are all very similar if not identical in some cases.

And the input matters, a lot. So the differentiating factor isn't the models, it's the data and companies like Google figured it out a long time ago.

In short, find interesting problems, then the solutions -- not the other way around.

Help us build a data privacy platform.

Data privacy and data protection should be a no-brainer, but the reality is that many organizations are ill-prepared to comply with privacy laws, so we're helping to streamline the entire process. In doing so, we will help give users more control over their personal data.

We integrate with many saas solutions, data lakes (s3 + json/parquet/orc/etc) and data warehouses (redshift, snowflake, etc) to easily access, delete and/or anonymize data.

We have very healthy growth.

We're currently looking to hire someone with 5+ years experience, and preferably a seasoned frontend engineer, or a backend engineer with experience on various backend systems.

Our stack (and growing):

* aws (codedeploy, rds, athena, etc) * ruby/rails, react, python, go * postgres, redis, s3

Experience with data engineering or data science a plus.

I'd love to recommend pingdom, or a service like it. I'm in no way affiliated with them, just a very happy customer and one of those products where I'm jelly I didn't come up with the idea. It integrates very nicely with pagerduty and slack/sms, etc.

It's just extra redundancy in case something like cloudwatch (which you should use -- with ELBs) also goes down.

This. Everyone's missing the point of a search engine.

We're talking about billions of pages and if not ranked (authority is a good hueristic), filtered (de-ranked), etc then good luck finding valuable information because everyone is gaming the systems to improve their ranking.

I think this is part of the reason you get a lot of fake news on social media. It's a constant stream of information (a new dimension of time has been added to the ranking, basically) that needs to be ranked and with humans in the loop, there's no way to do this very easily without filtering for noise and outright malicious content.

DataGrail | Senior / Software Engineer | San Francisco | $120k - $170k + 0.25% - %1 | ONSITE

We're building integrations into dozens of SaaS/PaaS to make it easier for companies to fulfill data access, data deletions and opt outs as required by the GDPR and/or the new California privacy bill (CCPA).

Data privacy and data protection should be a no-brainer. But the reality is many departments within organizations are not well-equipped to comply, so we're helping to make that a more seamless process. In doing so, we think this will help give users more control over their personal data.

We have paying customers and have recently raised $4.2m.

Our stack (and growing):

* aws (codedeploy, elasticbeanstalk, rds, lambda, kinesis, athena, etc)

* ruby/rails, go, react

* postgres, redis, s3

Looking for 3+ yrs exp for software engineer and 5+ yrs exp for a senior software engineer.

Experience with data engineering or data science a plus.
