TetraScience is a Boston-based SaaS company and rapidly growing startup that is applying the Internet of Things (IoT) playbook to lab research. We build both hardware and software components that allow research organizations to connect their existing lab instruments to a single online dashboard where they can coordinate experiments, monitor equipment parameters, and manage experimental data. With the insights and extra control provided by TetraScience, research organizations can more intelligently plan for future research cycles thereby alleviating equipment and process bottlenecks. In short, our goal at TetraScience is to use IoT to reduce the cost of doing science and while simultaneously increasing researcher efficiency overall.
We looking for some Senior Software Engineers to join the team who love to build, who share our interest in facilitating scientific advancement, and who wants to be an early and significant contributor to such an ambitious and impactful venture. We're Node.JS/React/AWS shop but prior experience in these is not necessary if you're wicked smart.

Because our goal at TetraScience is to effect industry-wide change, we have intentionally built a team of passionately curious engineers of diverse backgrounds who support science and value scientific advancement. As a result, our team is an excellent counter-example to the claim made by Jeffery Hammerbacher the founder of Cloudera when he said “The best minds of [our] generation are thinking about how to make people click ads.” In a time when aspects of common consumer technology has created problems like filter bubbles and fake news, TetraScience empowers researchers to seek truth from fact.
We looking for a several roles in engineering: a Lead Backend Engineer, a Lead DevOps Engineer and a Full-Stack engineer to join team who love to build, who share our interest in facilitating scientific advancement, and who want to be an early and significant contributor to such an ambitious and impactful venture. See these and all of our available roles here: https://tetrascience.workable.com/ or email me directly dmorgan[at]tetrascience[dot]com.

In terms of how to book group/family trips there are a couple ways supported right now, and we're adding more workflow paths regularly:
1) You can invite friends/colleagues who can customize and book their own trips themselves - just click the big red "Invite" button in your triplist and invite the other teams to join you.
2) You can also ask to plan and book travel for a friend/colleague (See Account/Profile/Authorized users - they get an email, add their own password and approve you), then you can book for them using their profile information (you can add their profile info yourself if you want to) and your payment information - perfect for admins/team leaders managing a group of business travelers, or a parent buying for older kids. Booking for children that don't have an account is something we're planning to add. Here are details about how Authorized Users work:

Hope that helps! You can always reach us directly at support@hopon.com
I'd say that's pushing the network effect a little too hard (only able to book for people with accounts) -- not to mention that you slow down booking to a halt, effectively blocking new users (If I plan a trip with 10 friends, I'll have to wait for all of them to get an invite before I can pay for the trip etc...). I'd strongly recommend making it easy to pay you as much as possible (assuming you take a cut).
That's a really good point - we're just trying to make sure that bad actors can't be spammy and create accounts they have access to for lots of people without their approval (hence the approval step). It's very possible that we can find a happy balance between the two, and we are actively looking into it.
I'm not really sure what the problem is here: if I can book tickets for people without accounts, then those people won't get spam from you, as you don't have their email address... On the other hand, right now, I can sign up all my friends with their email address through your form (or from my account) -- and by so doing send them an email (even if it is a registration email) -- so you're already allowing me to "spam" my friends/every email address I can think of?
So fundamentally we think we have built a better Expedia, that also happens to have a lot of social features. The core value of the site is that it's a much simpler way to plan a trip than currently exists. If you happen to be traveling with friends or colleagues, you can also invite people and they can customize and book a similar trip in a few clicks. There is a unique url that you can share with all the info on your trip so that people can check it out and decide to join - here's a example: https://www.hopon.com/triplists/1982?l=26e564b1e19b85ecf8106...
For flights, we're plugged into exactly the same systems (called GDS's or Global Distribution Systems, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Distribution_System) that Expedia, Orbitz, etc use for flights. For hotels, we're using the Expedia Affiliate Network right now.
It's actually a fairly complicated business development process - we make money the same way the other travel booking/OTA (online travel agency) sites like Expedia/Orbitz do, but we think our differentiation is the simplicity of the site and social features we've built. If people have a good experience and share the site with their friends, then we will grow organically without a lot of expensive advertising.
Thanks! Importing existing bookings from other sites (tripit style) is a feature that we have been working on for a while. Not quite ready for prime time yet, but we'll get there!
