ORIGAMICS | Founding Researcher | San Francisco | ONSITE/REMOTE Origamics is building AI models that reason about electronics and help turn schematics into production-ready boards. We’re looking for a Founding Researcher to work directly with the founders on physics-informed models for Electronics design — physical behavior, simulation, and scientific ML. You’ll tackle open-ended research problems, push models from experiments to production and real hardware, and have the opportunity to publish novel research along the way. You’ll likely be a good fit if you have strong ML/research fundamentals, enjoy 0→1 problems, and have experience with scientific ML, geometric deep learning, numerical methods, simulation, EE, or applied physics. PhD is a plus, not a requirement. Apply: https://www.origamics.ai/join-us?ashby_jid=7acf3a2d-46a5-420... (Mention HN when applying.)
Quill | Fullstack SWE | Full-time | Remote, PT/ET hours preferred | $150 - 210K USD + equity | https://quill.co/ I’m a co-founder of Quill, a fullstack SDK for adding customer-facing analytics & data features to your app. Backed by YCombinator & top-tier SV-based investors (fundraising not publicly disclosed; happy to share any details when we chat). Some examples of how customers get value from Quill: • pre-IPO fintech adds custom reporting & data export features to their money movement product. • Series B healthtech is now able to deliver completely custom in-product reports & dashboards to every enterprise customer they onboard. • Series A govtech adds analytics and reporting capabilities within their existing agent/chat product. Reasons you’d love working with us: • Work with a small, focused, talented team on a highly technical product (by developers for developers). • Funded company in a big market, but still prelaunch with a team size <5 • High level of product ownership with tight feedback loops: the products you build are shipped quickly and get used by real customers immediately. Our latest hire built our entire CLI product from 0 -> 1, and it was used in production by customers the day it shipped. We are growing the team to keep up with demand for new features that our customers are asking us for, while also preparing for launch. We're looking for someone that will make us better. We’re just getting started, and want you to bring your opinions, expertise, and experience to the table (not just execute on the ideas we already have). Contact: rishi@quill.co

Stand | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE
We're building the intelligence layer for physical risk: digital twins of individual homes, run through physics-informed AI World Models, to see exactly how a specific property will perform in a wildfire or hurricane — traditional models only guess at the neighborhood level. That precision lets us do what insurers historically couldn't: measure how much a new roof, cleared vegetation, or better siding actually cuts risk, then price coverage accordingly, turning mitigation into a real financial incentive instead of just advice.
We've scaled to ~$10B in insured assets in just two states in under a year. The interesting problems: ML surrogates that run physics simulations 1,000x+ faster without losing accuracy, structure-level digital twins built from imagery and property data at scale, and systems that reason across risk, cost, and homeowner tradeoffs — we're hiring across engineering and applied science.
Open Roles:

*Fastly | Software Engineers (Senior, Staff, Principal) | US, UK, EU, APAC ONSITE PREFERRED | Full-time*
When you look at the headers of major websites, you’ll see us. If it has to be performant, secure, scaled worldwide, and always-on, it uses Fastly.
We're a global edge cloud platform for performance and security, emphasizing open standards, sustainable engineering, and resilience-by-design.
We're hiring across compute, security, platform engineering, network and edge protocols, release engineering, network architecture, client services engineering, and more.
Onsite preferred, but remote candidates with a strong fit are welcome!
Rather than building walled gardens, we co-founded the Bytecode Alliance, heavily upstream our work to open standards, actively author IETF drafts, and power the global infrastructure for open-source Python, Rust, Ruby, OpenStreetMap, and much more.
* The Stack: Rust, C/C++, Go, Javascript, Typescript, WebAssembly (Wasm/WASI), Wasmtime, Cranelift, eBPF/XDP, QUIC, HTTP, TLS, TCP, Varnish/VCL, Linux kernel internals, distributed systems, professional services.

Biobase | Senior Technical Product Engineer, Technical Product Engineer (Early Career) | REMOTE (US, Canada) | Full-time | $150–230k / $90–170k + equity
Biobase has grand ambitions. We broker biospecimens, whole slide images, and the clinical metadata attached to them, on a supply-chain backbone that we're steadily automating. We’re building healthcare-data-focused agents on top of the datasets that we’re assembling, too.
We'd rather build the thing that removes the work than throw people at it. Two roles, one team, both reporting to the CPO:
Senior Technical Product Engineer ($150–230k + meaningful equity).
The product team's technical interface. Architecture decisions and code review on the platform (Python/FastAPI, TypeScript/React, Postgres, Azure); the data pipeline and informatics that take specimen, slide, and clinical data in from suppliers and labs; and product ownership of the internal platform that builds our agents (permissions, evals, cost control, guardrails for sensitive data). You've been the reviewer of record somewhere, you've operated what you shipped, and you think in business problems before tickets.
Technical Product Engineer, early career ($90–170k + equity).
Same territory at an earlier stage: the platform, the data pipeline and informatics, and the agents we run against our own operations — with a senior product engineer and our lead engineer reviewing your work and pairing when it helps. Open on background – self-taught, bootcamp, degree, research l […]

MONUMENTAL | https://www.monumental.co/ | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Full Time | Onsite
We make robots that autonomously construct buildings, starting with bricklaying.
There's a lot of vapourware in robotics, but we're deploying robots across multiple concurrent sites today - and generating revenue. In the last couple of months, our robots have built affordable social housing, health care living units, canal walls in the historic city centre of Amsterdam, and a youth sports centre. Help us to build things that matter in the long run.
We're looking for experienced software engineers for many roles. You can help us solve problems like:
- Data sync and analytics queries across a fleet of robots (that can be offline for hours at a time)
- Modelling buildings in code and finding the right UI for operators to edit them
- Designing systems for robots to drive safely and fully autonomously around a building site
Check out the progress we've already made on Atrium, our operating system for robotics: https://www.monumental.co/atrium
We're rapidly scaling up operations - we'll be building in the UK soon - and we need experienced engineers who can build the systems that manage all of that complexity. If you think that 'full-stack' could reasonably mean debugging firmware, mixing buckets of mortar _and_ writing React components, we are looking for you. Robotics experience not required!
