We're rethinking the computing stack from the ground up for truly elastic, soundly isolated, instantly and globally available execution. We’re building OS interfaces and compilers for low overhead, formally verified isolation without containers or VMs. We're starting with the network: a programming language to replace eBPF and enable globally programmable networking as a service.
We are VC-funded ($700k pre-seed), advised by professors from MIT and UWaterloo, and founded by ex-Stanford PhDs. There are two official roles, but we welcome conversations with anyone interested in joining the team.

We’re creating robots that autonomously construct buildings. We design all of our hardware and software in-house in central Amsterdam, and we’re starting with autonomous bricklaying robots.
We have built a machine vision pipeline that can achieve sub-millimetre localisation on construction sites, and a neat software stack that lets us configure and control robots with ease. We’re deploying our robots on real construction sites and have started making the first revenue from our bricklaying-as-a-service model.
The software team is now nine people (~35 people overall), and continuing to grow. There’s strong customer demand for what we’re building, and we’re starting to scale up robot production to meet it.
Our stack is mostly: Rust, TypeScript, Python, NixOS.
Interested in getting your hands (sometimes literally) dirty solving interesting problems? Have a look at our open roles:
- Software Engineer, Controls
- Software Engineer, Machine Vision
- Other: assembly/manufacturing/electronics technicians, robot operators, workshop lead

I think you should give candidates a heads up on what your screener test cares about. I've been using Python for almost 20 years and I have never needed to solve the problems presented because I specifically avoid those kinds of situations.

> at the end of the month, a bot summarizes the time tracked by a staff member and multiplies it by their hourly rate to figure out the compensation.
So this is not a regular employment contract, I guess? Can you maybe elaborate a bit on how the contract is structured?

ParentNet is a very early-stage startup that aims to provide parents within a school with a communications platform to talk among themselves. The goal is to give parents a tool to find out what's going on and to organize themselves. This is by parents, for parents.
ParentNet will likely be a not-for-profit, governed primarily by those who believe in parent's rights. Funding is available for this project.
Development has not yet started, which means you'll have a role in picking the tools to do the job. You must be familiar with developing database apps in either Java or Python.
You will work closely with the founder (me) to get the app built. I'm a developer myself, but do not have the hours available to get this done. We'll make technical decisions together.
Email me if you agree with the core mission, and you have the hours available to make this happen. Send me a link to your past work and your LinkedIn. chris at ccleve dot com

We're a VC-funded startup building an automation platform for Infrastructure-as-Code, adding a Policy-as-Code layer above it, in order to make IaC usable in bigger companies, where you have to take care of state consistency, selective permissions, a usable git flow, etc.
On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or SaltStack.
Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and already have a lot of happy and satisfied customers. We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as healthy working hours. We've also got investment days on Fridays, when you can work on anything you want, as long as it could possibly benefit Spacelift in some way.
If that sounds like fun to you, please apply at https://spacelift.teamtailor.com/jobs/3006934-software-engin...
You can find out more about the product we're building at https://spacelift.io and also see our engineering blog for a few technical blog posts of ours: https://spacelift.io/blog/engineering

* Building a content-addressed distributed file system.
* Making builds serverless with Nomad, V8, and Firecracker.
We are well funded by investors including Kleiner Perkins and the founders of GitHub, Vercel, and Slack.
If you are interested in joining us on our mission to save programmers from suffering with slow, unreliable builds, please reach out at [email protected].

Here at Atomic Tessellator, we are speeding up the idea -> simulation -> result loop for small molecule chemistry and materials science. We empower scientists to conduct experiments faster and easier. Our platform modernises computational materials science, allowing horizontal scaling of simulations on Kubernetes clusters, diffusion models for structure discovery, LLM assistants to write and debug experiments, and a lot more! Fork simulations like programmers fork code.
Senior infrastructure engineer - You will be responsible for automating a lot of our K8s setup, implementing our Helm packaging and CI/CD pipelines. While initially there's a lot of DevOps in this role, theres room to grow into a combination DevOps and Distributed Systems Programming, this role would suit a DevOps person who is excited to transition into some coding. You must be a Python and Kubernetes expert.
Junior Data Scientist - You will be responsible for implementing research papers, monitoring existing experiments, and helping automate a lot of the platform features and testing. This is a very varied role suitable for a novelty-seeking problem solver. For this role a positive attitude and growth mindset is more important than experience, you will be mentored by the founding team.
Please email your CV: [email protected], tell me something great you have done <3
