I'm trying to grow a startup on top of it, but the whole idea of doing impactful work is that it's being used to speed up the energy transition everywhere. Less re-inventing the wheel. If you are involved in any projects where energy demand flexibility should be unearthed, please consider using FlexMeasures ― with us or without us. Happy to chat.
People counters for retail stores or airports are commonplace, true. Recently, humanitarian aid organisations began to show interest in using them, as well. They could use them for instance to manage refugee camps better or to understand migration routes.
So we built a tool for the NGOs in this sector, with a very similar technology used by OP as basis:
One key difference is that each Aileen box is a client, which will upload its findings to a server, so that NGO management staff can review it.
Now that the basis is there (and being piloted), we hope to make it into a product tailored to the humanitarian aid sector. One key aspect is taking privacy seriously, others will drill down into the features that refugee camp managers tell us they'd need (for instance alerts if populations seem to be on a rapid move).
Features we offer: Flexible work & pay [2]; Equal shares (should you join us) [3]; Amsterdam
Features we look for: Affinity for Python; Modern problem solving ability like ML, Stochastic models or Asynchronous Queuing; Affinity for Open source software; Confidence, clear communication and the ability to compromise
Here is a pip package called "nbstripout" which tell git to ignore notebook output: https://github.com/kynan/nbstripout It can really help establish good practice in a project with little effort:
Compensation: Based on experience - up to par w.r.t. developer pay rates in The Netherlands
Medium-sized B2B company serving small/medium retailers and wholesalers. Well on their way from an agency model (company exists since 25 years, founder still serving as CEO) to a PaaS model with a stack of MongoDB/Python/Angular. Legacy is close to being slain for good and there is still room for shaping the future.
- We offer a relaxed working environment in which you can take part in the technological decision-making.
- Our Python backend is based on Pyramid. We aim at open-sourcing the core very soon.
- You've got a drive for quality and the experience to solve problems by yourself and supervise junior developers.
We will interview with Google Hangouts and might get you to Amsterdam for a final round. Only light code challenges. No Visa support unfortunately, so only EU citizens need apply.
The collaborative aspect is that [our platform](https://github.com/FlexMeasures/flexmeasures) is open source, under a permissive license.
