Precisely boring holes into the Earth (or other planets!) is critical to humanities survival and expansion. We make hardware and software tools that allow for precise real-time control of borehole construction.
Our tools are used in the Oil and Gas, Geothermal, Plug and Abandonment, and Horizontal Directional Drilling Industries.
ok but a lot of coding used to be fighting package managers, discovering bugs in dependencies, dealing with deploy baloney, etc, not just "solving puzzles" or "architecting the backend"
We (as an industry) have repurposed this technology for what's called Electromagnetic Measurement While Drilling telemetry. We break modern drill strings with a "gap sub", which is basically just a piece of iron with a ceramic insulated thread, into a "crappy dipole" which then if we impart 2-30W of power through roughly a Class D amp we can generate a signal that goes through most formations of the earth to the surface from over 5 miles underground from the transmitting source. Transmit frequencies are generally 2-10hz, sometimes pushing 32+hz. It's a fascinating use of the tech. If building in this industry sounds awesome to you, feel free to drop me a line. ken _at_ erdosmiller _dot_ com.
We were on invoice, and yes we had about a week or so of warning, but again, we had done the wire transfer to the full amount, and provided evidence of such.
Yeah, well be careful of Hetzner, I used to love them but I just migrated away. They just shut all all of our VMs over a $36 billing dispute. (~30 VMs we were using for our CI/CD pipeline) We provided them evidence with records of the payment in totality from our bank, they refused to look at it / discuss the dispute, even when we were communicating urgently and just ultimately shut off all our access. We're on Scaleway now.
Erdos Miller | Data Wrangler (Part-time → Full-time growth) | Remote (US preferred, flexible otherwise)
We build Measurement While Drilling (MWD) equipment — and we love it. That passion helped us capture the majority of the North American oil & gas market, and now it’s fueling our geothermal innovation, building underground navigation systems for the next generation of clean energy.
We’re now looking for a Data Wrangler to help us make smarter, faster decisions with our data. This role blends data engineering and data science: wrangling quirky file formats, structuring messy datasets, and turning it all into live tools that guide company strategy. Starts part-time with the opportunity to grow into a full-time, career-defining role.
What you’ll do
Partner with the CEO + stakeholders to translate business needs into pipelines, dashboards, and tools.
Build ETL pipelines, write parsers for proprietary formats, and maintain relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL).
Create interactive dashboards/apps with Dash, Streamlit, or similar (we avoid Tableau/Excel hell).
Deliver insights via live web apps where data isn’t static — it’s explorable.
Tech we use
Python, SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL), S3, modal.com.
Bonus: React/web dev experience to shape customer-facing real-time tools.
Why you’ll like it here
You’ll own projects end-to-end, avoid over-engineering (no Kubernetes, no Airflow — just the right tools), and directly influence decisions. As our company and data needs grow, so does your role.
If this sounds fun, email [email protected] with your background and what excites you about wrangling data.
Super glad to be a part of this. Our MicroPulse Measurement While Drilling Systems have been used to drill numerous wells for Fervo. We also developed a first of its kind navigation system for the first full scale Eavor loop in Germany.
Great, take a step further. The future is docking your phone, probably ultimately wirelessly, and have a keyboard, mouse and multi monitor, why not a solid voice interface at the same time?
What Apple has done with these mobile processors is insane. The M-series MacBooks were the first laptop I ever owned that felt like a Desktop, no compromise to go mobile.
Sure, you'll have to make a bunch of thermal/size compromises for the phone form factor but given wall power as a daily driver it is far more than enough for email, teams, web browsing, even development.
