SigFig | Principal Software Engineer | Full Time | Remote (US)

We're a FinTech committed to building financial solutions that are accessible and affordable to everyone. Currently we are focused on partnering with banks such as Wells Fargo, UBS, and Citizens Bank to serve consumers where they primarily are. We did start as a B2C company though and do still have a significant user base there as well.

For this team specifically we're building a product which is like Teladoc but for financial advice. Because of the complexity of financial advice and everything that goes into it there are a lot of opportunities to do first principles thinking on how things can be done especially given the "digital window" of remote.

If that sounds interesting, please apply here:

With rockets I'm guessing that thermal signatures are used to home in on the projectile being destroyed. But I'm wondering what's being used here to keep the laser locked onto the target projectile. It's definitely an impressive technological feat.
I'm a big fan of Argo CD (and their other products), so am interested to learn more about Atlas.

> To build deployment pipelines with Argo Workflows, users have to set up Argo Events and write custom scripts to trigger an ArgoCD deployment, which can be a complicated process.

It sounds to me like the major value-add, compared to Argo Workflows, is simplifying the implementation process – but then the first step in "Getting Started" is to setup Kafka…

I'll have to spend more time looking at this.
While I've very happy for the DIY farmers, what about the rest of us? Why weren't our complaints enough? Agitation for a right-to-repair has been going on for a long time.

Also, this illustrates a quote from (I think Bodrin and Levine, but it's almost un-googleable), to the effect that you can have intellectual property, or real property, but not both.
Name: Sashmit Bhaduri

Location: Washington DC/Northern Virginia

Remote: Yes

Willing to Relocate: Only to NYC area

Resume/CV: on request

Technologies:
16 years with C++, Python, Java, Postgres, Django, Matlab, JavaScript, etc. No professional experience, but learning Rust and Haskell at the moment.

email: sashmit @ gmail.com

I was last a tech lead and early technical contributor in a startup that created an autonomy solution in the energy/oil/gas sector (mostly dealing with industrial robotics). The startup was successful and led to a successful exit. I was the primary author of our decision support engine, which performed real time optimization that controlled machinery whose motion had to be planned at remote edge sites, while humans in the loop supervised the system in a global operations center. I was also somewhat of a generalist, putting together a large portion of the system's end to end architecture, evolution, and successful integration into our new parent company's software and hardware stacks.

Before that I worked on various types of object detection/vision systems that required various types of statistical signal processing (Sonar, Radar, LIDAR, etc). I'm very comfortable with diverse software engineering, IoT, embedded systems, hpc, machine learning, numerical and statistical work.

Been taking some time off since the start of the pandemic, but now eager to pursue interesting work!

Interested in: generalist senior IC, management positions in the right setting, technical architect, ML Eng, MLOps, and other types of deeply technical roles.
Thanks, I appreciate it.

It's not very important, when you focus on outcome, whether or not a group of people conspired to create that outcome, or if that outcome was simply a consequence of other factors. The impact here is that straight white men over-represent the software industry as a whole, and there are things we can do to fix or improve that.

It's a super bad idea to hire anyone who is not qualified for a position, but I'm not going to pretend there's any kind of even remotely objective or precise way of determining who maximally fits into that position.

Instead, it seems optimal to acknowledge that there will always be more qualified candidates than there are open positions, and once you've found each qualified candidate, selecting the candidate that brings the largest difference in perspective (regardless of representation group) will be the best candidate. Given the saturation of straight white men in the SWE field, the odds that another straight white male will give the largest new perspective is not super high (though it is not zero).

The "action" here, if we need to walk away with one "thing" to do, is to saturate your pipeline with candidates from very diverse backgrounds, and then select the best candidate. It's a bullshit move to say, "only straight white men applied" if you did no work at all to reach out to other communities explicitly.
I explicitly state in my LinkedIn profile “do not contact me I’m not seeking new opportunities at this time” and I still get a half dozen a week.

> in my country (the netherlands) i have seen people stop at stop signs at times when there is very, very little traffic (04:00 at night).

This is also normal in the US, despite what a few commenters on HN may have you believe. Hell, if anything, regular people out and about at 4am are better about following the basic laws, because you stand out a lot more when you flout them, and in the wee hours of the night the proportion of drunk drivers is far higher and so cops are looking for it.
OP here: I created a new profile in "about:profiles". I can login into HN from that profile. The bug is in the profile then, I just need to figure if it is fixable without nuking the profile.
Here in India, the credit card business is booming despite UPI (i.e. better FedPay). The value proposition of credit card is unconditional short term credit. There is also the additional consumer protection through chargebacks. Popular credit card companies have moved to offering actual short term (<1 year) loans via the card. I don't think Credit cards would be going away anytime soon.
Agreed. Great documentary. The part where Castro said he urged Russia to launch their nukes from Cuba to the US knowing it would destroy Cuba was chilling. Humans are not always logical. Don't assume somebody wont drag an entire country or the world to total destruction for some deranged cause.

I didn't get the death bed vibe from McNamara but I definitely felt that he was genuinely reflecting on the past.

The documentary on Rumsfeld was the polar opposite. I could also see Rumsfeld not wanting to give the enemy of an ongoing conflict any shred of material. It makes for a less interesting documentary.
It still matters because of mental anchoring. In their mind they are being very generous by giving you 20% more than you make so their offer will be the minimum.

If they don’t know what you’re making now, they will think the minimum might be too little and if they really like you they will go higher than the 1.2x.

Not sure if you’re already trying to make a joke, but there’s a word for that, isn’t there? Negligence.

Doesn’t help your local restaurant if they didn’t get the memo about the poisonous scallops, particularly if there existed a regular scallop-poison-level newsletter they could check.
My old car used to have a cable that was connected to an audio tape inserted in the radio. I just needed to connect my MP3-player to it and off I went. It just worked. No 10 seconds waiting for a connection or 10 minutes fiddling with options.

Once I was hovering the car at the gas station and the cable went into the hose and broke off from the audio tape though so not everything old was better... :-)
What is my assertion, in your own words?
I think the holes on your sarcasm filter might be too large.

Yeah sure, if you say so. How about this. Let's restrict it to the Pacific islands only and see what's been happening in reggae since the 80s.

They will be a bigger part of the costs compared to current reactors. Which is normal because employment costs are high. It's a popular choice now because all the latest reactors in the west have huge budget overruns.
I'm only speaking towards this one particularly useless buffoon, but the fact that he was allowed to wield any sort of power over anyone says something.

Sounds like the scene in Soylent Green where Roth gets to listen to classical music and watch calming scenes of nature... as he is euthanised.

When your workplace starts emulating 70s dystopian sci-fi, that's a sign you might be doing something wrong.
Presumably if a machine can be made with X level of precision for Y cost then one with a lower level of precision could be made for a lower cost. Although it probably doesn't scale linearly. One relevant large advance I know of is in laser. What used to take very expensive chemical lasers in the 90's can now be done with inexpensive solid state lasers with much lower power draw, much higher output and greater reliability.

What are some reliable alternatives for both iOS and Android? I'm unsure how are Apple Maps, but they were hideous a while back for Eastern Europe at least.
As a user, I hope Apple doesn't just enable notifications as it is. I tried Android recently for 6 months and permission popups on each site were really annoying!
When you have multiple people on this very thread saying they've hired or been hired as referrals without any interview at all, it's hard to say with a straight face that these people still had to pass any quality check whatsoever.

This doesn't seem to cover novel attacks, just applying basic security patches for a stated lifetime. If that lifetime is "six months" then you have to state that.

If that means we can't buy insecure IoT lightbulbs with no tls, no authentication and no sha checking for under $10, I guess we'll just have to live with it.
YMMV but every time I happened to be tuned into NPR (world) news I get an unhealthy dose of State Dept-curated misinformation on topics like Russia, China, Iran, etc.

If anything changed in the post-Collateral Murder world, its that the Washington's content filtering and propaganda subtly intensified.

Consider Affirm and Afterpay in the US. This is what I believe the future of short term payment credit looks like when you have instant payment rails. You could even "overspend" your deposit account, with the negative balance being credit, dynamically managed by your deposit account provider's risk management system. The well off can do this with a margin account at their brokerage, but there's no reason this can't be done with your bank or fintech with personal credit. Several big commercial banks even underwrite your credit profile based on your deposit account cashflow vs your credit score (JPMC, for example).

EDIT: Check out https://cred.ai/ for an example of a financial product this might look like, from a quick Google search. No affiliation.

Credit cards aren't going away, but they're also no longer going to be the least worst solution for payments and transfers where assurances are needed. They're antiquated value transfer rails imho (and I'm aware the chief benefit of CCs are the 20-30 day float, longer with interest). In summary, the credit is the product, the rails are the utility, and there are many ways to issue and manage that credit.

> that promotional/marketing push notifications are forbidden

Not anymore they’re not. It wasn’t enforced when it was on the books; last year the rule was removed. Even Apple advertise their own services via push now.
What a journey! My vet recommended more puzzle feeders and moving to get rid of the free dry food (I do wet food in morning/night), both to control how much the cat eats and to give them something to do. After all, in the wild food is not free, they have to hunt for it.

One they recommended was something like [0] which is what I've been using. Works pretty well in that most of the time the cat knows he can't get food from me (though smart enough to know I fill them up and hide them). Adds a little game and great if you'll be out of the house for a while. So there's no longer a bowl for dry food at all, he has to "hunt" for his mice. Though I'm guilty of sometimes giving some bonus food, I think it is a helpful system. I think he'd be all over an autofeeder just like in this story (already have to hide the big dry food bag as he'll get into it).

Lack of incentive contributes a great deal to lack of quality. If the company knows they are going to lose money if they are careless, they'll be less careless. Way too many bugs and security vulnerabilities are consequences of nothing but carelessness and companies thinking they can't be held accountable of anything.

Given Apple, it'll probably be limited to PWAs on the home screen, aka. only if the user goes to the share sheet and hits "add to home screen", where then it'll pop up the permission for sending notifications.
The construction/architecture company is liable, and the same will happen with the software regulation. Not saying that it's a good (or bad) idea, only that the comparison is reasonably apt.
The vaccination has reduces community spread but in much lower rate because of prolonged close contact. There is much lower amount of infectious virions compared to somebody without previous immunity and the period of being infectious is reduced.

Still breakthrough infections can infect somebody, especially somebody without previous immunity and nobody should rely on somebodies else immunity for their own security.
> you can have "resume in 2 seconds" or "sleep for a week" but not both. (S0ix and S3 respectively)

The way Windows laptops do this is to go from light sleep to deep sleep after being idle for a long period. You should be able to pull off the same trick in Linux.
Why would a computer intelligence be any less prone to distraction?
Tesla didn't use LIDAR because it is more expensive [0]. Quoting Musk:

Impossible... None of the people mine has hit have ever filed a complaint?

Well, repairable is a spectrum and for someone inexperienced it sounds quite daunting to repair their fridge's power supply. However the repairability that e.g. a Framework laptop has (swapping out new parts) is much simpler and requires little expertise.
If git did it...
Since you are already quite distributed, why not rem0te?
I love finding little things that other people have made out of natural objects. It reminds me that humans are part of nature at the end of the day. There's a big difference between spray painting your initials on something and setting up ephemeral art like stone stacks.

Also, being as you were on a river, I'd assume those stone structures weren't cairns, but I figured I'd mention those in case someone comes across a stack of stones and feels it should be returned to its natural state.
Or, software sold in Germany will cost $X more where X is the actuarial cost needed to offset the liability risk.
Came here to say exactly that, squashfs with overlay mount for writes beats this easily.

Hard to change the entire container ecosystem away from tarballs tho so this is still useful. Is it available anywhere? I didn’t see a link?

most of the segregationists just need inspiration and aren’t as exclusionary as they’ve been led to
> the law makers know the laws will be bent

Or possibly they just know that real world driving involves so many context-dependent decisions that trying to cover it all with laws is about as reasonable as making a self driving car.

I think it's the nerds that are delusional.
My apologies for this one frivolous comment; but I am at a loss to understand which of my other comments could be considered as flamebait.
>It's crazy, because they only need to add a couple hundred lines of resolution and it would be perfect.

To be fair, it's not Framework's fault that fractional scaling in Linux is not great.
Thank you. I'd never heard of zoro before, but I'll be depositing my paychecks here from now on. It looks a lot more fun than the bank :)
I'm sure I saw cars with an option to read speed limit signs about 10 years back. Really boggles the mind that Tesla have gotten away with calling their cars "Full Self Driving".

Right but none of it is of substance at least for me. Probably not the target demographic for this, I just saw a lot of rambling about things but for myself I could not pinpoint what was being said. Again, I am not the audience most likely, curious though this works.
Just to play devil's advocate, surely their approach is more rational than that. They're probably looking at it from the perspective that the business needs to have a profit margin of X in order to justify investing in it.

They probably do understand that cutting costs impacts company culture and morale. But shutting the company down probably impacts that much more.
