● Be involved in the entire lifecycle of projects, including design, UX, coding,

architecture, deployment. (We believe in full ownership principle)

● Write simple and effective APIs.

● Expected to deliver clean, testable and well-designed code for the same.

● Work with other engineers in developing architecture that is resilient to changes

in product requirements and usage.

● Collaborate across teams from engineering, marketing, customer support and

design for efficient product development.

● Pragmatism to the core: arrive at technology decisions after discussions with

other engineers weighing pros and cons of each aspect of the feature lifecycle.

Qualifications: Who should apply for this role?

● You have 3+ years of working in small to medium size teams building and

shipping products.

● Well equipped with Javascript, HTML5 & CSS3.

● You pledge on React.

● Strong grasp of at least one high-level language like Python, Javascript, Golang

etc.

● You spin out Nodejs servers like it's your fantasy land.

● Working knowledge of GIT for version control.

● Know how to optimize web performance with the plethora of tricks and tools

available in the ecosystem.

● General awareness of SQL and database design concepts.

● Understand/Have knowledge about cross-browser compatibility and mobile

friendly web designs.

● And of course, you have the makings of a star developer - impressive problem

solving skills, sharp reasoning and a logical bent.

Brownie Points

● You already use Biostrap and have plenty of feedback to provide.

● You can lecture developers on premature optimizations.

to showcase your past projects.

● You have a decent presence on CodePen.

● You have booked your ticket for Mars :P

The Biostrap platform extracts many metrics related to health, sleep, and activity.  Many algorithms are designed through research and often based on scientific literature, and in some cases they are augmented with or entirely designed using machine learning techniques.  Biostrap is seeking a Data Scientist to design, develop, and implement algorithms to improve existing metrics and measure new ones. 

As a Data Scientist at Biostrap, you will take on projects to improve or develop algorithms to measure health metrics, including:

• Research: search literature for starting points of the algorithm
• Design: decide on the general idea of the algorithm, in particular whether to use machine learning, mathematical techniques, or something else.
• Implement: program the algorithm in Python, and help deploy it.  

The algorithms and their implementation will have to be accurate, efficient, and well-documented.

• A Master’s degree in a computational field, with a strong mathematical background. 
• Strong knowledge of, and experience with, different machine learning techniques, including their theoretical background.  
• Strong experience with Python
• Experience with Keras/TensorFlow, and preferably also with RNNs
• Experience with AWS or similar services for data pipelining and machine learning.  
• Ability and drive to work independently on an open problem.
• Fluency in English.

A key strength of the Biostrap platform is its backend pulse wave analysis software, which takes the photoplethysmogram (PPG) recording from the wrist and extracts a wealth of information from every detected heartbeat, as well as for the duration of the measurement.  

Currently very little processing is done on the wearable itself.  You will help change that. 

You will translate, adapt, or possibly redesign algorithms for analyzing a PPG pulse wave and extracting biometric measurements from it, for on-device use.  That is:

• Translate: when feasible, convert parts of the algorithm from the server from Python into Embedded C++ code
• Adapt: create workarounds for code that cannot be directly translated
• Redesign: for parts of algorithms that are too memory- or computation-intensive for a device, design an algorithm that can run on-device without sacrificing much in accuracy.

The algorithms and their implementation will have to be accurate, efficient, and well-documented.

You will also improve the backend algorithms and design and implement new algorithms to measure new biometrics. 

• A Master’s degree in a computational field.
• Advanced knowledge of, and experience with, Python and C++.  
• Strong mathematical background, and in particular good understanding of signal processing.
• Ability and drive to work independently on an open problem.
• Fluency in English.
