I think the 50k miles estimate is probably pretty low given the average miles insurance companies assume most people drive per year is closer to 10k. Conservatively, that would place it closer to 200k miles by age 40.
I've always assumed the reason people don't get better at driving with that much experience is the reason people don't get much better at most of the things they do: they've never pushed themselves to the limit of their capabilities. While this can be dangerous in a car, it can be even more dangerous when you're put in an unexpected circumstance with no ability to respond calmly and correctly.
Cepheid | Staff Software Engineer | $130k-170k + benefits | Full Time | IN PERSON HYBRID, SF Bay, Sunnyvale CA | US Only
Cepheid is a leader in the In Vitro Diagnostics space, we had the first EUA PCR COVID19 test approved in 2020. We are vertically integrated: from building our own plastic molds and injection molding the cartridges for our instruments to designing the software, hardware and wetware for our instruments and assays, there are many opportunities to work on every level of this stack.
We’re looking for a Senior+ Software Engineer to join the team developing the software for our next-generation molecular diagnostics system. This person will be a key contributor in the software engineering team that leads development efforts for software for commercial products as well as in-house research. The technology stack runs the gamut from Java and Windows, to Python, VueJS, Docker and Linux.
Familiarity with some or all of these technologies would be great, but we’re also open to a candidate that has a proven history of new things learning through doing the work. We’re currently in the process of remediating tech debt and developing a new systems architecture, so if you enjoy solving the puzzles that come from constraints imposed by existing systems, we have plenty of that, too.
Please reach out to me at [email protected] if this sounds like it might be a good fit, don't let the Staff title discourage you, it has to do with our internal pay grades: the only hard requirements are that you think you'd enjoy the work, you can learn quickly, be self directed and are in the area. Apply directly at https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/staff-software-engineer-a... though you might get filtered out by our recruiter.
