Antithesis | Software Engineers (Kernel / Systems / Infra / Fullstack) | Northern VA | ONSITE | https://antithesis.com/

Antithesis is using deterministic simulation, fuzzing, and novel ML techniques to improve software testing and increase developer velocity. See Will's talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFSPwJFXVlw) for the ideas that underpin our approach or read the Simulation Testing section of https://www.foundationdb.org/files/fdb-paper.pdf. We have a growing base of customers and great community buy-in. Fully funded medical, dental, and vision insurance. Unlimited vacation (with mandatory MINIMUM vacation time). Flexible hours. Incredible, cohesive team with the hardest and most interesting problems to solve.

We're doing things nobody has done before, so we don't need familiarity with any particular language, framework, domain, or anything like that. Don't care. What we do care about: you're smart, get things done, a joy to work with, and are comfortable dealing with open-ended problems. Check out our blog for an examples of what we recently launched, e.g.: https://antithesis.com/blog/multiverse_debugging/

Apply at https://antithesis.com/company/careers/.

We're also hiring for professional services roles. Feel free to ask about those, too.

Re:Ask HN: Which companies are hiring in-person teams? on Thursday March 03, 2022 @09:53AM (#30541767)
My company, Antithesis, is building a fully in-person team. We have worked on hard projects before -- we built FoundationDB -- and this is the model that we found works for complex, audacious projects. Working closely on design at a whiteboard or coding as a pair is just far more rewarding in person. And in order to grow fast we need high bandwidth, low latency knowledge transfer options. Again, that's also just clearly more feasible in-person. And, of course, there's the great chance to increase team trust and cohesion through chance conversations and occasional lunches together. What we're working on now is both more complex and more audacious that FoundationDB: therefore we are all together in the office.

It's true that there are some downsides from the company's perspective: we have a smaller pool of talent to pull from and the office environment can be interrupt prone. Both, however, we think are more than offset by the upsides.

We're located in Northern VA and growing! Check out a list of jobs at https://antithesis.breezy.hr/ or, if you love building complex things and are great to work with, just shoot us a message at [email protected].

Re:Why the tech press is ignoring Zulily's huge IPO on Friday November 15, 2013 @01:25PM (#6741125)
Maybe it's that this is really hardly a startup -- it's a solid company that just happens to have a web presence as its main outlet to customers?
Interesting article, but the title is totally misleading. The fast, according to the author, seems only "difficult". And the "new man" part just seems to be that he felt better after. We are, however, not given any details on how his life was bad before the start of this.
