Flok Health | Multiple roles | ONSITE | Cambridge UK | Series A

https://www.flok.health

Come help us build explainable AI for providing physiotherapy at scale.

Our core systems are a custom decision engine, interactive streaming video over WebRTC, and multiple internal tools to help us scale. We care a ton about high quality software and great UX - healthcare apps has a bad rep for being unpolished. Commercially, we partner with national healthcare systems to provide high quality care that patients love.

Over the next 18-24 months we are expanding our geographical and product footprint:

- Our infrastructure will need to mature - Our software will need to generalise as we treat more clinical conditions - Our collection of internal tools will need to grow

We're hiring for generalist engineers. Our core stack is Python/Rust/Typescript, but all backgrounds welcome as long as you like ownership and responsibility.

Read more and apply at https://www.flok.health/careers/engineering-team or find me online and DM me! We're 4 days a week on-site in a beautiful farm-style office in Cambridgeshire.

Definitely mention you came from HN if you apply - will help you stand out against the flood of AI-generated applications we get these days.

Re:Ask HN: How do you organize your knowledge? on Monday April 26, 2021 @04:07AM (#26940381)
I've had a different experience.

In the times where an emotionally charged goal isn't driving me forward, adhering to disciplined regimes for time and knowledge management has helped me to prepare and therefore perform better in times there IS a highly motivating goal.

There don't have to be two extremes of X-management (one fuelled by emotion and one dragged down by apathy). Like anything, building a discipline in the slow times will set you up really well for when you need to run hard in the fast times.

All that said, I use Roam Research[0] for my knowledge management now. I consolidate my thoughts and ideas weekly, and aim for evergeen knowledge[1].
