Project Debug | General Engineer | Singapore (HYBRID) | Full-time | debug.com
Project Debug raises, sorts by sex, and releases millions of (non-biting) male mosquitoes in Singapore to reduce the local mosquito population and prevent the spread of dengue and other mosquito-borne illnesses. Our trial in Fresno, CA showed a 95% reduction in female mosquitoes during the seasonal peak.
Our engineering team is pretty small and we need a solid generalist engineer who is interested in becoming a domain expert in our factory, where we do automated rearing and sex sorting. If you run a homelab, have tinkered with Arduino, and can prompt/write some Python, we can teach you everything you need to know about our stack (Go, Python, React, Kubernetes, Tensorflow).

this is sterile technique. males mate females causing eggs to not hatch thus reducing population
That's absolutely awesome!
I can't switch jobs rn, but this is absolutely fascinating
As others have said, awesome project. I hope you are super successful.
Somewhat limited applicant pool with it being based in Singapore sadly.
Also, debug.com is a killer domain name, I'd love to hear how you got hold of that one.
Awesome project
I mean this is pretty amazing.
Fuck mosquitoes, go get em
