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).

I am surely sending you an email. I live in a small village (eastern Himalayas, India) after giving up on city life, run a piggery and chicken farm along with ~ 6 hours of software work.

I am intrigued by products like these which gives "hands-on" a new meaning. Being a new farmer-engineer, this is the kind of work I would love to do.

you have a good internet there? i know starlink hasn't launched here yet

We have Airtel and Jio airfiber. Jio is with Mimosa c6x antenna and it's great.

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.

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

Have you done research on the impact for birds which feed on those small bugs.
