Roboflow | Multiple Roles | Full-time (Remote, SF, NYC) | https://roboflow.com/careers?ref=whoishiring0823

Roboflow is the fastest way to use computer vision in production. We help developers give their software the sense of sight. Our end-to-end platform[1] provides tooling for image collection, annotation, dataset exploration and curation, training, and deployment.

Over 250k engineers (including engineers from 2/3 Fortune 100 companies) build with Roboflow. We now host the largest collection of open source computer vision datasets and pre-trained models[2]. We are pushing forward the CV ecosystem with open source projects like Autodistill[3] and Supervision[4]. And we've built one of the most comprehensive resources for software engineers to learn to use computer vision with our popular blog[5] and YouTube channel[6].

We have several openings available, but are primarily looking for strong technical generalists who want to help us democratize computer vision and like to wear many hats and have an outsized impact. Our engineering culture is built on a foundation of autonomy & we don't consider an engineer fully ramped until they can "choose their own loss function". At Roboflow, engineers aren't just responsible for building things but also for helping figure out what we should build next. We're builders & problem solvers; not just coders. (For this reason we also especially love hiring past and future founders.)

We're currently hiring full-stack engineers for our ML and web platform teams, a web developer to bridge our product and marketing teams, several technical roles on the sales & field engineering teams, and our first applied machine learning researcher to help push forward the state of the art in computer vision.

Trelent | Founding Engineer | REMOTE (US/Canada preferable) | $100k+

I am the founder of Trelent. We’re building a useful agent for RPA, with a distinctly structured & hierarchical approach to working with LLMs. We have pilot customers in several industry verticals, have thousands of users, and are venture backed by multiple funds. Our goal is to ultimately enable the next billion software developers.

We’re very early (team of two) and are looking for a founding engineer who can wear several hats when necessary, but has a knack for UX. The focus right now is largely product-side, mainly on the front-end. Our stack is NextJS, Tailwind, and Node. Bonus points if you've worked with LLMs before - we strongly believe that they will change UX (but not through a chatbox alone).

Preference to North America, but fully remote and can hire anywhere for the right candidate. More details & application at https://jobs.trelent.com

Val Town | Founding Software Engineer | ONSITE (New York)

Val Town is a social website to write, run, and deploy code. We’re building a social hub where people can write code with zero friction or setup: just open a tab, write some TypeScript, and click run. We think of a “val” as a new web primitive, like a Tweet or Github Repo, that can be forked, liked, shared, commented on, and run. To make it all fit together, we’re building an editing environment, a sandboxed runtime, logging & observability for user code, and social tools like leaderboards, comments, likes, and sharing.

Everybody should be able to code. Coding should be fun. Come build the future of programming with us!

Website: https://val.town

Job posting: https://about.val.town/founding-engineer-at-val-town

We've been on HN before: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=val+town

Your posting is violating NY salary transparency laws: https://www.nyc.gov/site/cchr/media/pay-transparency.page
Appreciate the pointer! Really helpful to know. We only have 3 employees, so I don't think we're technically covered by this law, but it's probably a good idea to list a range anyways. Thanks!
This is a discussion forum where people are casually posting about jobs they know about, it's not a job board so the law doesn't apply. There's always some A/Cs with an axe to grind that come on and troll about it anyway.
> it's not a job board so the law doesn't apply

This seems like dangerous advice for anyone posting here to follow. The point about number of employees is likely more pertinent. Especially considering this from the link that was provided:

> Any advertisement for a job, promotion, or transfer opportunity that would be performed in New York City is covered by the new law. An “advertisement” is a written description of an available job, promotion, or transfer opportunity that is publicized to a pool of potential applicants, including, but not limited to, postings on internal bulletin boards, internet advertisements, printed flyers distributed at job fairs, and newspaper advertisements.

Personally I won't even consider a posting without a range listed. Even my teenage son won't apply for a retail job that doesn't list pay up front.
What's your technical stack?
* React/Remix on the frontend

* NodeJS API server

Caim (www.caim.org) | Python Engineer, Front End Engineer, and Engineering Lead | 100% Remote | Volunteer/Unpaid | Part-time

We’re a 501c3 charity whose mission is to help the US become a no-kill nation. Our platform empowers animal rescues to connect with each other, fosters and other rescue advocates in order to move animals from overcrowded, high kill areas to places they're more likely to be adopted. Our organization launched in 2022 and we’re looking for engineers to join the team so we can continue building out our web app. Caim is 100% volunteer run at this time.

We are looking for people who can help out 5+ hours per week.

Python Engineer – must have knowledge of python and any popular web framework (preference for Django) – https://www.caim.org/volunteer/full-stack-engineer

Engineering Lead - must have knowledge of python and any popular web framework (preferably Django) + experience helping more junior engineers get started – https://www.caim.org/volunteer/engineering-lead

Front End Engineer - must have experience with raw CSS, Bootstrap, jQuery, Django and CSS/DOM - https://www.caim.org/volunteer/front-end-engineer

Please apply to volunteer through the links above.

This sounds so nice, I dropped an application off. How can I find more volunteer CS opportunities like this?
Idealist.org has been a job board for non profits for decades, and you can find volunteer positions there at times.

Once upon a time I even worked at idealist itself when they had grander dreams

There are two kinds of shelters: open-admission, and no-kill. There is no third kind. We will never be a no-kill nation without addressing the root causes: lack of availability of subsidized spay/neuter programs, and the profitability of animal breeding.

I think it's great to try to connect people with animals they want to take care of. It's not going to make overcrowded shelters any less crowded. There is certainly some unused shelter capacity that your organization can fill up, that is true. However, that capacity is not infinite, and once you have reached it you'll have all the same problems.

There is only one solution: subsidized spay/neuter programs and a crackdown on any animal-breeding operation. Otherwise, you're just giving a blood transfusion to a patient with a gushing wound.

> a crackdown on any animal-breeding operation

As someone with zero interest whatsoever in animal breeding, this kind of restriction seems way too draconian and incompatible with a free society. I'd rather have there be too many stray animals forever than for that to be implemented.

Stray animals, cats in particular, are contributing to the rapid decline of our bird population. Freedom to breed animals in an irretrievably broken ecosystem is a dubious proposition.

(I’m not advocating for a ban but there aren’t any good options here. )

Isn't the real problem not breeding animals, but rather releasing them into the environment? Why not crack down on the latter instead?
I don’t know how you can accomplish either, but breeding is much easier to detect than releasing into the wild. Basically if someone is selling animals, they’d need a license…which now that I write it, doesn’t seem all that impractical.
Most people agree with you, which is exactly why there is no chance that an organization like this can have a real impact.

How can a breeder, who is incentivized to create a stream of puppies to sell, be compatible with a society that is trying to reduce euthanasia for animals? Breeders already have to deal with puppies and kitties "aging out" of profitability, an organization like this just subsidizes their cost of dumping unwanted stock.

Is there a reason why your code isn't open source? I like your mission, but it's very unclear to me why your codebase isn't open and I'd 100% be much more likely to try to help out if it were.
If I had to guess: there's likely nothing that special about their Django site for connecting animals to foster parents, and the extra time and potential security risks of of making it open source compared to the benefit it'd provide the open source community doesn't make sense.

Volunteer-run tech and IT for non-profits aren't exactly well known for the highest of standards of engineering. The likelihood of someone accidentally leaking AWS creds or other PII seems reasonably possible without well established engineering practices.

Alternatively, it may involve proprietary code for a software vendor they work with that they don't have the rights to redistribute.

That would just be security through obscurity.

I'd be really interested in contributing but I'd hate to be contributing and then find out that this non-profit is actually some rich persons tax avoidance scheme or can be pivoted in a way to make money for someone.

Having the source code licensed as GPL or something would make this a smaller concern for me.

[flagged]
They’re not hiring. They’re looking for unpaid volunteers
why is “somebody wants to make money” a bad thing?
It's a bad thing when the job is advertised: "Volunteer/Unpaid".
The poster I replied to indicated that the “making money” part could come later.

It is easy enough to have a volunteering agreement that catches this with clauses. Open sourcing the code won’t help with that scenario anyway.

But if it were open source, volunteers could fork and self-host the application and create their own competing non-profit/organization.
It’s a content-driven website with user submissions. They don’t even claim copyright or ownership on the content, which is the actual thing that makes up the unique value.

Open source what, exactly? You point makes literally zero sense

> security through obscurity

Security is security, how you get there is entirely up to your organization. Also I'm not sure how having code access to their site proves that it isn't some rich person's tax avoidance scheme. In a way, all charities allow rich people to avoid paying taxes to some degree.

Would you be willing to volunteer your time to open source their codebase rather than waiting for someone to volunteer their time to open source their codebase so you would be more likely to help out?

I'm not trying to be snarky, but there could be a fit for a person acting in good faith to help them accomplish this. I think open sourcing one's code is seen as easy by some, but it's actually a skill (I tend to get overwhelmed by the idea of open sourcing my projects and never end up doing it FWIW) and people experienced in doing so have something to offer.

Would definitely love to see this as an open source project that could receive contributions from the public too. Many people find these initiatives and love to participate with reviews, discussions, and code contributions. Hopefully this is being considered

- Senior Python Engineer (working on our Django-based member website) - Senior TypeScript Engineer (working on our client-facing services) - Senior Data Scientist (working on NLP and recommendations systems) - Senior Data Engineer (working with the data science team) - Senior Product Manager (working across our services)

Mid-level roles to follow. If you don't see a perfect match above but are interested in finding out more, it may still be worth getting in touch.

You can expect:

* To work alongside people who are really proud of the products they're building - putting our customers first * To work in a collaborative, ego-free & supportive team * To have time in each sprint to focus on your own L&D to help you grow

Please get in touch with me if you're interested or have any questions — email in my profile!

Crusoe | Onsite/Hybrid – SF, Denver, Chicago | Climate Tech, Cloud Compute, Distributed Systems, Crypto | https://www.crusoeenergy.com/

Crusoe is on a mission to align the future of computation with the future of the climate.

Data centers consume more than 1% of the world's electricity. We power data centers with stranded energy such as flare gas and underloaded renewables, so for every GPU hour you use on Crusoe Cloud, you're offsetting 0.5kg of CO2e, or approximately 4.4 metric tons over an entire year. The more compute you use, the more CO2 and other greenhouse gasses you offset.

Crusoe Cloud (https://crusoecloud.com/) offers the cleanest and lowest-cost GPU cloud computing solution in the world for workloads including graphical rendering, artificial intelligence research, machine learning, computational biology, therapeutic drug discovery, simulation and more.

Here's a quick video so you can see what the systems look like in action, flames and everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlt8k71Quqw
