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). Reach out to katejm@debugproject.com and please mention HN in your email. | ||

this is sterile technique. males mate females causing eggs to not hatch thus reducing population | ||

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. | ||
