I currently run YC’s infrastructure and I need some help! Over the last 7 years I’ve been at YC, our software team has grown considerably both in engineers and in products. We need to invest more in our infrastructure so we can keep shipping our products quickly.
The main thing you’ll need in this job is curiosity; I work at every layer of a very large stack. One day you might dig into AWS apis, another it’s a 3rd party Ruby gem or our git history. Or maybe you get paged that all the SSDs for Hacker News (primary and standby!) died on the same day :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32028511.
The first few months will be heavier on infrastructure work but in the future the job will hopefully be equal parts developer experience, infrastructure work, and product engineering that impacts all of our products (think SSO, sending email, security, etc).
The main products we support are all Ruby on Rails apps running in AWS (mostly in ECS); ideally you’ve already worked on apps like that. You have at least 5 years of experience. Part of that was shipping code to customers but you’ve also got cloud experience (we try to mostly use Terraform). You’re probably the person people turn to when there’s a fire to put out.
YC has excellent compensation and benefits (see more in the formal job description: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/y-combinator/jobs/0Ewh...). The team and the work life balance are great. About half of us are former founders and many of us are parents. And if you’re curious about startups (and possibly starting one someday), this job gives you amazing access to interact with YC’s programs, partners, and founders.
If you’re interested, I’d love to chat! I’m [email protected].

What are the availability requirements for these remote roles? Is it "you are available" whenever we need it, or there is a reasonable expectation set in the beginning? If you have an "on-call" system, what is that policy? How does that affect people in different time zone? It affects employees' health. Does it not?
A person I knew (not from my home country) worked at DDG for few months and left and let's just say he did not have very admirable things to say about the culture.
I apologise if you don't find this comment in good taste but I believe this is an important question about a job. People sleep at night and go on vacation oner weekends and an employer that keeps it "veiled" is not healthy. I had attended your calls (3 calls) and when I asked this question you all went radio silent. No response, no explanation, nada! Why not have some clarity about this?
Am I the only one who thinks about this aspect of this job? I mean this is a very important part of a job. It's not even about "I am not available psst 6pm", it's about - "set an expectation please!"
Why? I admire what DDG is trying to do (and that is why I singled out your post) but the people and culture behind the company that runs all that are very important too. DDG is not just another search company for me at least.

As a core Zotero developer, you'll also have the ability to work across Zotero's vast ecosystem and help shape the future of the project.
This is an open-ended contract role that can scale up and down in hours based on availability and workload.

We're a small (24-person) team of repeat founders and seasoned operators building a usage-based revenue platform that helps SaaS companies price however they want. This is a tight-knit and senior crew — most of us have 10-25 years' experience, much of it together.

We're looking for extraordinary builders to play a foundational role in a company designed for scale:
We're well-funded by top investors (led by First Round Capital), fully distributed, and known for building intentional, inclusive culture. We offer competitive global rates (SF salary + equity), equal pay by level, work flexibility (including a 4-day core schedule), and comprehensive, family-friendly benefits.I'm Mike, one of the founders— if interested, apply here (https://tryturnstile.com/about) and mention this post.

We're hiring Product Engineers. We're a small, fully remote team based in the US and Canada. We present the best of both worlds - a nimble startup and small team (low strike price on equity and more ownership/impact), yet derisked because of our capital efficiency.

Love languages? Want to leverage AI, LLMs, and ML to topple industry giants like Duolingo & Babbel? What a coincidence, we do to.
I'm the technical founder of Phrasing (https://phrasing.app). and have built the MVP using Postgres, Python, and ClojureScript. As more of my responsibilities start to lean towards the business side of things, I find myself increasingly distracted from the big juicy technical problems. I'm looking for a CTO who wants to dedicate everyday to the most exciting technology problems of the decade.
I can handle the frontend for quite a while longer, but am looking for help on some backend problem areas including: clustering and analyzing vector embeddings, training predictive models, leveraging LLMs to parse minority languages, aligning multilingual text, & so much more.
It's still very early days at the company, but it's never too early to start talking to people excited about the product & mission in the following roles:
- Senior Software Engineer
- Senior ML Engineer
- Senior Mobile Engineer (iOS)
- Senior Designer / Senior Product Designer
At Phrasing, we're driven by the belief that a small, dedicated team can indeed topple industry giants. We are absolutely obsessed with every area of the product, and we seek individuals who share an equal passion for the field, the product, and their craft.
If that sounds like you then send an email to [email protected] and join us - to fluency, & beyond.
