Recently a movie was released related to childhood cancer (not specifically leukemia) called “Audrey’s Children” starring Natalie Dormer (Hunger Games, Game of Thrones). I got to see a screening of it bc of my daughter’s involvement with Camp Ronald McDonald, which happened as a result of her brother’s (my son) ALL treatment. He is a survivor - it has now been 15 years since his last dose of chemotherapy.
The movie was much better than expected and it’s worth a watch imo. Definitely relevant to the advances that saved my boy’s life, and a glimpse of a few of the incredible people who contributed to those advances.

We are currently looking to hire software engineers that possess solid CS fundamentals, are fluent with design patterns, and will dive in fearlessly to any part of our complex stack as necessary. The number of years of work experience matter less to us than the complexity of what you have been recently doing.
Specifically for our Sr. Front End position, we want someone with production-level React/Redux/Webpack experience, and expert-level HTML, CSS and javascript.
Specifically for our Sr. Backend position, we are looking for folks with PHP (Laravel), SQL (mysql), and NoSQL (Couchbase, MongoDB) experience. Async programming experience is a definite plus, as is experience with configuration management tools (Puppet/Chef/Ansible), Docker, and AWS.
Our engineering team is a small tight knit bunch of talented developers who care deeply about our craft and work everyday to better ourselves at it while iteratively building product features that make it easier for artists and collectors to connect across geographies and cultures.
Your work will have a direct impact on the livelihoods of people who might otherwise not have had the opportunity to share their works across the globe, every single day.
Check out our site, then hit me (Chris) up at careers@saatchiart.com if you want to know more.
