Return | REMOTE | DevOps / Platform engineer | Full-time

Return (https://return.energy) is hiring a DevOps engineer who will build and run the infrastructure behind platforms that accelerate the transition to carbon-free energy. Return's main activity is building and operating industrial-size Battery Energy Storage Systems. Our operations are located in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and Spain. You will be making a measurable (country-level) impact on the transition to renewable energy. Return recently raised €300M to support its growth.

While we employ over 120 people, Return's technical team is still small (15 people). Our platform automates processes in energy storage, monitoring, market optimization, sales, project management, procurement, construction, and customer service. Behind it sits a mix of EU cloud and on-site compute at our battery sites, with strict uptime and security requirements.

During the first four years of operation, we laid the foundation for our platforms, and we are ready to scale up. This is why we are looking for an experienced DevOps engineer who can own the full picture: cloud environments, self-hosted infrastructure at our BESS sites, and the operations centers in Amsterdam and Eindhoven from which we run the fleet.

Your primary focus will be to design, automate, and operate the infrastructure that our virtual battery platform runs on. That means EU-only cloud providers for application workloads, hardened on-premise setups at our sites, and the connectivity in between. You will be the person who decides what gets deployed where, and who makes sure it stays up and stays secure.

Two Six Technologies | Technical Lead, Principal, and Senior Principal Vulnerability Researcher | Arlington, VA | ONSITE | Full Time | https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/twosixtechnologies/jobs/589... Two Six Technologies is seeking highly experienced Technical Leads, Principals, and Senior Principal Vulnerability Researchers to drive our in-depth reverse engineering and exploit development efforts. In these advanced roles, you will own the technical direction of critical projects and transition research findings into operational capabilities. We are looking for elite embedded security researchers to tackle complex challenges in firmware and hardware reverse engineering, as well as Linux/UNIX kernel development. You should have a strong track record of technical leadership or principal-level contributions, along with a preference for an active TS clearance and the ability to obtain SCI at a minimum.

If you are interested in pushing the boundaries of vulnerability research and embedded security, please apply via the link above or reach out directly to our team at [email protected].

Burnin (London or NYC) | Founding Research Scientist + Founding Engineering Lead | Hybrid (Some on-site) | Full-time

We are building the trust stack for AI code generation, targeted at high-stakes computing where wrong numbers cost real money: a statically typed functional language designed for coding models, a compiler whose guarantees double as audit-grade trust infrastructure, and a coding model fine-tuned on the language with compiler fitness as the training signal. Language and model are co-designed.

Small team out of PyTorch, FAIR, and Meta. Strong institutional VC support from our pre-seed; active investor interest heading into seed.

Founding Research Scientist: own the agenda across the language and the model. Type system design, compiler analyses that produce useful fitness gradients, and fine-tuning open-weight coding models on a language with no pretraining footprint. Publish in PL and ML venues. Strongest fits cross between machine learning, programming languages, and formal methods. PhD preferred, equivalent output equally fine. Stack is Rust, Lean 4, Python.

Founding Engineering Lead: own engineering across compiler internals, language runtime, GPU backends, notebook and library tooling, and the AI infrastructure around training, evaluation, model release, and likely public inference. We already support x86 and ARM, CUDA and AMD, macOS and Linux, and the matrix grows. Real feel for statically typed functional programming expected; the kind of engineer who picks up Lean or Haskell on a weekend because they wanted to. Have led engineering before, formally or not. Stack is mostly Rust with Python where it earns its place, primarily on AWS.

Both roles: comfortable with early-stage ambiguity, define your own roadmap, defend it with evidence.

Kanary | Full Stack Engineer | Remote (US) | Competitive Salary + Equity | Python / React

Kanary is a personal security platform that monitors the web to identify and reduce risk based on an individual's threat model. An executive has different exposure than a gamer, and our system classifies each person's risk across 55,000+ sources. We've been building since 2020, started in campaign security, data science, and government agencies, backed by Mozilla and Y Combinator. We have 200+ organizations on the platform and are fully funded by our customers.

Attackers have never had better tools. LLMs, social media, and search surface personal data in new ways. A few prompts can launch a deepfake and impersonation campaign. Risk sources appear and disappear across social platforms, telegram chats, and private data broker platforms. Kanary exists to play the cat and mouse game for people at the speed and scale of an agentic internet.

Kanary is a combination of software workflows (crawling, scraping, automation), AI (data classification, research, code generation), and people (analysts trained to support customers and escalate). This is dynamic system and requires an interest in adversarial programming.

We’re growing our team, and seeking a multifaceted engineer (2+ years experience). Our software stack is python, javascript, react, and for LLMs, we use Anthropic, OpenAI, and experiment with model fine tuning as needed. Experience with web scraping, data pipelines, or security tooling is required.

Email [email protected] with something you've built and why it was hard.

COVU | Data Engineer, Full Stack Engineers (Sr & Staff/Lead), Sr. Product Manager | San Francisco (Hybrid) or REMOTE (US) | Full-time

COVU is an AI-first insurtech startup rebuilding the 20-year-old legacy infrastructure of the $365B+ insurance distribution industry.

We recently announced our $16M funding round (bringing our total to ~$50M) and launched COVU OS. We aren't just slapping an "AI wrapper" onto old software; we built a task-native orchestration layer from scratch. COVU OS converts messy, unstructured insurance workflows (emails, PDFs, manual triage) into defined tasks, dynamically routing them to the right execution layer—whether that's an AI agent, a licensed human professional, or an offshore team.

We are a scrappy, execution-focused team of builders. We heavily encourage using AI tools (Cursor, Copilot, Gemini) in your daily workflow to ship code faster. If you hate spending months in "discovery" and prefer to just build and own production systems end-to-end, you will fit right in.

The Stack:

Data: Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, Python

Product: TypeScript, React, Node.js / Python backends, Cloud Infrastructure

Open Roles:

Staff Full Stack Engineer (Technical Lead): You will be a foundational technical leader shaping the architecture of COVU OS. Expect deep, architecture-level design work paired with heavy, hands-on IC contributions.

Sr. Full Stack Engineer: You will own complex product surfaces end-to-end, building out the agentic orchestration layer, user interfaces, and enterprise API integrations.

Data Engineer(Remote): You'll be the primary builder of our "Golden Policy Journal," transforming highly complex, messy carrier data into our single source of truth using Snowflake, dbt, and Airflow.

Sr. Product Manager (COVU OS): You will own the roadmap for our core operating system. We need a highly technical PM who can dive into the weeds of agentic workflows and write specs that engineers actually want to read.

Hi! We're Ontix. We're building the business layer to connect siloed datasets and query them with natural language, offering insights to SMBs they couldn't get before. We're fully funded by our sibling company, and are looking for remote freelancers in the US and full-time, onsite employees in San Diego, California (if you're into that kind of thing). We're looking for experience in the following roles:

+ QA: We're looking for a QA engineer deeply familiar with the software lifecycle in the age of agentic coding. You'd have a lot of responsibility, but also the opportunity to define what solid QA looks like at Ontix.

+ Azure Cloud Engineer: We're a mostly-AWS shop, but we have a few potential customers that are deeply entrenched in the Azure ecosystem, including a migration from SharePoint to Fabric + OneLake. You'd be leading the charge on that.

+ Infosec + Automated Vulnerability Scanning: If you browse new CVEs over breakfast, we want to talk to you. There's a huge demand among our current customers for continuous vulnerability scanning, both in the codebase and on the deployed edge. We have some test platforms, but would love a more robust solution we can market.

+ Full-Stack WordPress Developer: Our sister company is a bit old school still: If you can parachute in to a PHP + Vue 2/3 + WordPress + AWS EC2 environment, we would love to pass on your number to them.

We're looking to grow quickly as our client base expands. Healthcare, vision, and 401(k) for FTEs. If you're interested in any of these roles, or would like more information in general about us, please visit https://ontix.io or email [email protected] with a few sentences describing your experience, interest, and where you're located.

Engineering Square | AI Engineer | Bay Area, CA | ONSITE | Full-Time

We're hiring an AI Engineer to build and ship production AI systems - not research prototypes. Startup experience is a must: we want someone who has shipped fast in a small team, owned systems end-to-end, and is comfortable with ambiguity. Big-company-only resumes won't be a fit.

Day-to-day tasks might include:

* Tearing apart a device in our lab, reverse engineering its firmware, and finding security vulnerabilities

* Developing an automated, robotic platform for hardware reverse engineering (custom hardware, vision models, user interfaces, etc.)

* Hooking and patching RTOS kernel functions to execute defensive device integrity validation code, without violating real-time requirements

* Building scalable servers for processing millions of device telemetry messages across thousands of concurrent connections

* Maintaining open-source reverse engineering tools (like OFRAK https://ofrak.com) and cooking up fun demos for hacker conferences (like this web game we built for DEF CON in 2023 https://ofrak.com/tetris/)

Our main office is in Manhattan, but we are building out a new office in Northern Virginia. US citizenship required. Bonus points if you have an active security clearance, or are willing to get one.

Be sure to mention Hacker News in your application.

Eve | Founding Engineer | San Francisco, CA | https://www.helloeve.co/

Company: We are building an executive voice engine (Eve). This is a multi-agent AI system that learns how a leader thinks and produces content indistinguishable from what they'd write. Think: a specialized vertical AI solution that uses coordinated specialized agents, persistent context graphs, a learning flywheel that compounds with every piece. We have paying customers and a growing agency channel, mostly word of mouth.

Role: Full AI stack + product. Agent orchestration, evals, RAG, prompt chaining, model trade-offs, and customer-facing features. TypeScript, SvelteKit, Cloudflare Workers, Postgres.

You: Full-stack in the real sense (AI systems + infra + product). At least five years experience shipping code into production systems including production AI. Move fast, care deeply, and be curious.

Culture: We are a team of four. The founder is technical and moving to spend more time in growing the business. Architecture is early enough that your decisions define the system.

Apply: Send an email to hello [at] helloeve.co.

Use the subject line: My voice is {fill in your description}.

In the body, include your favorite piece of content you've published and why it matters to have your voice out there.

Please also share links to your portfolio and anything that shows how you think about AI systems, e.g. an eval harness, a multi-agent project, a write-up, a side project, and most importantly, why you + why you want to be part of the team.

Tandem Health | Software Engineers | On-site in Stockholm, Sweden | Full time

At Tandem Health we're building a clinician copilot to allow clinicians to focus on care rather than administration. We’re building, launching and iterating quickly, and are already rolling out across some of the largest care chains across Europe, including most of the NHS.

Our first product listens in to the patient-clinician encounter to generate medical records, allowing clinicians to save 5-10 minutes per patient. No longer do clinicians have to catch up on administration after hours.

We’re expanding our Stockholm team with exceptional builders in a wide range of roles.

We built the largest open-source AI pentesting framework — 25k GitHub stars, 80k active users, 15B LLM tokens processed daily, 1,800 pentests run per day. Two of us right now. You'd be the third.

Looking for a founding-engineer engineer who's done 0→1 before and wants to own the architecture of something already at scale. You'll touch everything — infra, product, research tooling. Python/TypeScript stack, AI-native workflows, real security problems.

Email [email protected] — tell us something you've built and why it was hard.

Hey this is Dixon from Canopi, a workforce risk intelligence platform built for ground transportation operators.

Form AI | Full-Stack AI Engineer (Contract) | REMOTE (US) / Austin | https://formai.build

Form is an AI fluency/integration startup for executives & their teams. We build AI applications tailored to how clients work, and need an engineer to do the building.

A typical engagement starts with a client describing a workflow eating their week. You scope alongside them, then build something that makes it disappear. Stack is whatever fits: TypeScript and Python, React or Next.js, Claude and other LLM APIs, integrations with the SaaS our clients use (Notion, Slack, Google Workspace). RAG, agents, prompt engineering, and evals when the work calls for them, not for show.

We're looking for someone who has shipped end-to-end as an early engineer somewhere small, has real opinions about LLM applications, and writes readable code. Comfort scoping with clients and communicating in writing is essential, since most of our work happens that way.

1099 fractional, paid monthly. 10-20 hrs/week, $75-150/hour. 40-hour monthly minimum, scaling with client demand. Potential to convert to a full-time role ($150k-$220k) as the practice grows.

Remote, Austin/US-based. To apply: https://formai.build/jobs or email [email protected].

SpruceID (YC W21) | REMOTE (US-Based Preferred) | Full-Time | spruceid.com

Spruce lets users control their data across the web. Instead of users logging into platforms, we believe platforms should request to access data vaults controlled by users.

The demand for trusted digital ID is accelerating as AI deepfakes begin to destroy most of the ways we use to verify identity today. How private or secure is it to hold your driver's license or passport up to a webcam to get a bank account? Was it ever private or secure? Stable diffusion can break so much of this already. Society will need trusted digital IDs and credentials. Our mission is to allow them to be controlled by individuals, with safeguards to prevent descents into surveillance states and checkpoint societies.

We are the main implementers of category-defining initiatives such as the digital ID program for the California DMV, and the verifiable digital credentials program in Utah. We are private sector participants in NIST's National Cyber Security of Excellence initiative for privacy-preserving digital ID.

We are hiring skilled engineers who care about making a real impact in improving public services, digital autonomy, and user privacy for the world. We work closely with public sector agencies, and have high regard for public servants. We have a strong engineering and customer-oriented culture, and are not simply a SaaS product or AI wrapper. Our roles are not for the faint of heart: you will be expected to work hard and learn a lot in this role.

Our engineers are ambitious to get outcomes for our customers and their constituents. On any given day, they may write great Rust/C#/TypeScript, deal with mainframe dumps, read policy documents, respond to technical RFIs/RFPs, manage on-prem environments, implement new NFC + Bluetooth protocols in Swift/Kotlin, create CI/CD processes that enforce W3C accessibility guidelines and i18n requirements, rewrite lost specs from disassembled binaries, figure out stablecoin payments, and design new protections for public key infrastructure. It is a team effort, and people with T-shirt shaped skills are able to collaborate and learn a ton from each other every day.

We are interested in candidates who want to be proud of the meaningful impact they make for society, even if it takes time to get right. This is not the right job for someone who wants to "join a cool new AI startup" that implodes or exits in under a year.

Revio Insight | Data Engineer | Remote (US) | Full Time

We are seeking a Data Engineer to design, build, and maintain the data infrastructure that powers our platform, which serves community banks. This role will focus on building reliable and scalable pipelines to ingest, process, and transform core bank data. They will also design integrations of our data with CRMs and marketing automation platforms.

Our platform primarily receives structured data from customers in CSV format delivered via SFTP, which must be validated, transformed, and loaded into our AWS-based data infrastructure. The Data Engineer will own the reliability, performance, and scalability of these pipelines while ensuring strong data quality and security practices appropriate for financial data.

This role will work closely with product, engineering, implementation, and customer teams to ensure accurate and timely data processing that supports both customer-facing functionality and internal analytics.

To apply, email dataengineer [at] getrevio [dot] ai.

Aqora | Paris, France / US / Remote (EU) | Multiple roles | https://aqora.io

Aqora is the "Hugging Face for quantum computing". We host datasets, benchmarks, and use-case challenges, plus the orchestration layer to run quantum algorithms and workflows across hardware backends, so results are reproducible, comparable, and actually move the field forward. We grew out of the QuantX hackathons at École Polytechnique and now run competitions and a public datasets hub for partners across pharma, finance, energy, and defense.

We're hiring:

* Senior Full Stack Software Engineer (Rust/React). Build the platform end to end: datasets hub, challenges, leaderboards, and the workflow engine that orchestrates quantum jobs across backends. You own features from schema to UI and care about developer experience. Bonus: data, ML, or research-platform experience.

* Quantum Computing Expert. Design challenges, curate datasets, define benchmarks, and shape how algorithms and workflows run on the platform. Work directly with enterprise partners to translate their problems into something the community can solve. PhD or equivalent depth in quantum algorithms, QML, or optimization.

* Chief Commercial Officer, US. Own US go-to-market end to end: strategy, enterprise pipeline, team build-out. You've scaled commercial functions at a deep-tech, dev-tools, or research-platform company. Based in the US.

* Head of Marketing. Positioning, demand gen, and brand for a category still being defined. B2B technical marketing background required; quantum experience welcome but not necessary, curiosity is.

* Product Manager. Drive the roadmap across the datasets hub, challenges platform, benchmarks, and workflow orchestration. Strong technical instincts and experience shipping developer or research-facing products.

* Sales, EU. Enterprise sales into R&D and innovation teams across Europe. Long, technical sales cycles, consultative selling, comfort talking to PhDs and procurement on the same day. EU-based, remote.
