The lowest person in a society is a doorway to the structure of that society. Twain narrated this regardless of whether we consider it poetry or folkloric fiction.
Carina is a two sided marketplace for home and child care; matching consumers with care workers. We started in WA; now in MA, CT, IL, CA and headed into new states next year. We recently crossed 1 million hours worked on our platform. As a nonprofit we’re making a difference in workers and consumers lives; while saving money for public funds [compared to the cost of hospital stays and nursing homes].
We’re hiring two full stack engineers [React, Kotlin, PostgreSQL; AWS Cloud]. We’re based in downtown Seattle; for now everyone is remote but plan is to head back to the office late 2021 [obv depends on many factors].
US citizens only. Great benefits package including pension and full healthcare coverage.
I’m the product owner; can zoom for any questions.
There's no immediate [5yr horizon] automation coming to solve this. Human home care workers will be needed [and more of them]; it's in a category of jobs that not even machines want.
"Their discovery weekly playlist is stellar." Disagree. Give them credit for trying but they have yet to recommend a new artist that I've liked; continued listening to.
The true seasons we experience in Seattle provide me [and I hear this from pals in tech.] with refreshment, mental health benefits. Or, what some consider the negative aspects of cold rain becomes fresh snow an hour outside of Seattle.
Also prefer to build products in Seattle winters; celebrate releases in the spring and summer.
In Seattle Jack asked us to put our phones away; to connect with his media team later for free hi def. photos if we wanted them. Everyone was cool; made the show better.
"but an enterprise programmer who's managed to get shit done in a big corporate environment should be highly valued. Not only can they program, they can also put up with all of the bullshit that it takes to get things through to production. There is something to be said about a programmer who can essentially handle the politics as well" - These people are gold, will hire them all day long... just did at one of our healthcare startups.
Introduced it to my University of Washington students. It's a primitive but good tool for prototyping. Students don't have to fuss with installing an IDE, learning a new language, etc. Thank you TouchDevelop team.
We have some wacky ideas for microbit:microbit mesh experiments.
