FullContext.ai | FullStack Engineer | Seattle, WA (US-remote ok) | fullcontext.ai

FullContext.ai is an early stage startup that is building the first AI-Powered Buyer Copilot. This represents a transformative approach to buyer enablement that helps people understand complex software purchases without having to talk to salespeople. For companies, this helps scale out their sales and marketing efforts and to gain unique insights about potential customers and the market. From an engineering perspective, this means leveraging LLMs in conjunction with a unique set of content to create the closest thing to a live demo of a product without a human on the other side!

The current stack is Typescript, React, Apollo/GraphQL, and Nest.js. Everything is built on top of AWS using modern tooling and automation (e.g. pushing a commit will trigger a deployment). This is a great opportunity for a hungry engineer to learn the latest AI technologies and work alongside a team of experienced founders and engineers. Our small team is primarily based out of Seattle, WA, but we work from home 4 out of 5 days and are open to remote team members.

Spot | 3D Framework Engineer | Seattle, WA (US-remote encouraged) | spotvirtual.com

Help build your ideal remote working experience and join our mission to make online interactions more meaningful. At Spot, we are building team chat 2.0: a streamlined work experience inside the browser that combines the efficiencies and utility of tools like slack and zoom with the cultural and human elements of a spatial experience. If you are interested in game dev, this is probably the closest thing that comes with a web dev salary. Our team is small, but experienced, and this would be a ground-level role that would provide an opportunity to help shape the technology and company in a really foundational way. Our founders are experienced and most recently founded a Seattle startup that has achieved unicorn status and we have raised a seed round from top-tier investors.

The current stack is Typescript, Babylon.js, React, Apollo/GraphQL, and Nest.js. Everything is built on top of AWS using modern tooling and automation (e.g. pushing a commit will trigger a deployment). We are looking for someone who loves to build frameworks. We currently have a custom framework built on top of Babylon.js and we are looking for someone to help evolve this as well as plan for the future to push the limits of what is possible on the web. This position will be remote, but the ideal candidate will be one who enjoys/misses many aspects of a physical workplace.

ghempton | 3 years ago | on: Show HN: Our dream team chat implementation combined with a virtual office

OP here: we originally posted Spot on HN around a year ago with a product that really focused on a virtual workplace for companies. This was driven by our personal experiences and having had very real connections with other people via online gaming (UO anyone?). We wanted to bring this sense of connection and community to remote work and the enterprise.

Since then, we’ve found that our most successful customers are the ones who use Spot as a full-fledged Slack alternative (in addition to a virtual office). We’ve doubled-down on this and are building a powerful team chat implementation directly inside the product. Unlike a lot of other “spatial chat” solutions out there, you will find that we have the most robust and familiar chat implementation. Things like channels, reactions, threading, search, etc. are table stakes, but we also have named topics and are planning on a message-retention policy that is more friendly to the free tier.

Please try it out and would love some feedback from the HN community on both our product and team chat in general!

> All of this stuff is pretty nascent and I agree that there's lots of crap there, but there will be something unquestionably brilliant about inhabiting virtual spaces with folks where you can bend some laws of physics to make mundane things (like meetings) work a little bit better than they do IRL.

I totally agree with this sentiment and I don't think you even need VR/AR etc, to achieve it. This is a big reason why I helped build spotvirtual.com. As a kid, some of my most meaningful relationships and experiences were forged through online gaming (ever played UO?). A big part of this wasn’t necessarily the gameplay, but just the shared experience of being part of a virtual space that had its own rules.

There is definitely room to apply this same experience to a work setting, where mundane things can be transformed into something more meaningful and effective.
