Yardstik | https://www.yardstik.com/ | Staff Engineer | Minneapolis or San Francisco (remote possible)

Yardstik is on a mission to reduce workforce risk through tools like background checks, identity verification, fraud monitoring and more. We are a well capitalized fast growing company based in Minneapolis but with a distributed workforce.

We’re looking for a Staff Engineer to help us build a brand new line of Risk products.

This isn’t just a heads-down coding role. You’d be leading the technical direction for an entirely new product category — shaping the architecture, making key system decisions, and working closely with Product and Go-To-Market to bring it all to life.

We’re a Ruby on Rails shop, so if you’ve got deep experience with Rails (and opinions on how to scale it well), you’ll feel right at home. You’ll have a ton of ownership, real input into the roadmap, and the chance to build something from the ground up that truly helps our customers reduce risk in smarter ways.

Yardstik is building the platform to reduce workforce risk. We are fast growing, doubling each of the past 3 years.

One aspect that will drive continued success is for our Technology organization to continue to build out the best Ruby on Rails Engineering team possible.

The "best" to us means we: - ship software that is trusted, used, and valued by our customers - focus our efforts on clear priorities - eliminate tech debt and do not allow it to hold us back

Looking for a Staff Engineer to join an already established/exceptional team to further drive our growth.

By who?


According to German law, a competitor (possibly Visa) can sue a company for uncompetitive behaviour that has the potential to affect the consumer negatively.

This means that at least in theory a security researcher could work as a contractor at a competing firm to then let their legal department send a cease and desist letter and demand recouperation of the legal fees including the money paid to the security researcher to find the vulnerability.

Anyone who quotes me on this in their court case is an idiot.


All large health insurers employ many physicians. You're not wrong that they may not have all of the evidence but there is a lot of licensed medical knowledge available to all Payors.


I worked on this and yes it was 100% related to the interest in Flickr. At the time Google Street had just become a thing and there was interest in effectively crowdsourcing the photography via Flickr and some of the technology behind Photosynth.


This is right. I worked in health insurance for a while. If you aren't in Medicare Advantage (which has relatively lower plan churn) it is very unclear that preventative spend on an employer based plan will benefit the payor that paid for it.


Not for any specific payor, but when people shop around insurances and every insurance pays Ozempic, then everyone will profit from it in the end.

When you think about "research" like this in the context of LLMs, I worry that the source (a journal) will start codifying some of this nonsense as known fact that the ChatGPTs of the world start regurgitatiing...


Yes, but not all "scientific" disciplines adhere to this the same way that medicine does. Take for example Psychology, Political Science, or some of Economics where unreplicable studies in prestigious journals almost immediately become cannon for new grad student seminars.

N.B. I have direct experience with this in Political Science, the other disciplines I have just anecdotes about so apologies if they are mischaracterized.


C3 IOT I'm guessing


This is the one. C3 IOT became C3 AI without batting a lash. The radio copy is almost identical, with only the name change to catch your ear or avoid sounding dated.
