Doximity | Senior DevOps Engineer, Platform | Full-time REMOTE (US) or in-person (San Francisco, CA)
Doximity helps doctors be more productive, informed, and connected.
We have several positions open, and you can see the full list at https://workat.doximity.com/positions/
I wanted to post about one position in particular- We're looking for another Senior DevOps Engineer on our Platform team. We'd love some more engineers to help us manage, monitor, and debug Kubernetes clusters.
We're looking for someone who has a deep understanding of container technology, and experience operating a Kubernetes cluster in production. Experience with EKS is a bonus.
We'd love someone familiar with Terraform, Ansible and Chef (or similar tooling).
You'll help us build a container-based self-service infrastructure for product engineering teams, and help us work with the rest of devops and infrastructure teams to empower other engineering teams.
We're a remote team, and as such concise and effective written and verbal communication is crucial.
Schedule-wise, we're looking for someone who is able to maintain a minimum of 5 hours overlap with 9:30 to 5:30 PM Pacific time, and who can dedicate about two weeks per year for travel to company events.
I had written a toy social network a few years back the past which had these features - It worked very much like an encrypted version of usenet.
This is probably my bias as an engineer showing, but the technology doesn't seem like the hard part-
I always understood that having an resilient network means people will use it to post some bad things, but I don't know if I really internalized the scope of that until later.
I had originally envisioned it might be useful in oppressive countries, where people needed a way to communicate - Recent events have shown how dangerous that can feel when you're in the midst of people who feel like that describes them.
As another HN post pointed out, there are two natural audiences for such networks - Idealists, and those who can't get away with stuff on other networks.. And the second is going to be far more common. That will influence the culture, and help to drive other "good" people away from the service, amplifying the effect.
Even if you have user-selectable moderators (Which I had, similar to the request the author makes), without a huge war-chest to hire a large team of default moderators, you'll never be able to keep up. The default experience for the average user will be terrible.
Over and over, I ran into issues like that - It's relatively easy to built the technological network, but managing the social network aspect is an unsolved problem.
A) We should stop putting devices that are in the home onto the internet.
If you want to have a security camera, keep it limited to the local network only.
B) People need to stop having a default assumption that these are secure. Mentally assume they are public by default, and don't put them in children's rooms for gods-sake!
Discounting someone's complaint because "This isn't new" isn't helpful. It doesn't need to be new to be a problem - Writing an article about it to raise awareness is a good idea.
Calling this tinfoilism is also not constructive. The author points out that data is being shared, in ways that even people who try to be privacy conscious may not be aware of, or have good ways to stop.
It doesn't solve the immediate problem, but once enough people are using chips you could disable the ability to do old-style magstrip transactions (or at least flag them for manual review / extra scrutiny).
Supposedly it's being designed around Valve's index controller, letting you grip and manipulate objects in the game. Ars describes a set of Magnet Gloves which can pull stuff toward you from across the room and adjust/use it.
I've enjoyed quite a few VR games over the last few years, but part of why I'm excited about this one is that they are able to design the hardware and the software in conjunction.
Hopefully this will lead to something which can really take advantage of that co-development, like we sometimes see when Nintendo or Apple are able to do both.
I love NPR. I'm glad they're doing well, and hope they will continue to make quality programs.
But one of the major advantages which has set them apart for me is that they aren't as advertising dependent as so many of their alternatives.
Avoiding ads makes it easier for them to be independent, and able to report without fear of corporations withdrawing their support.
It's also just much more pleasant to listen to. I try to avoid advertising as much as possible, and it's sad that they are one more place it's invading.
I know they've had corporate sponsors for some time, but the podcasts really feel like an escalation.
I don't blame them; I'm sure they felt this was the best choice for them to grow and survive, but it feel like a disappointing loss.
