San Francisco (Dogpatch) | On-site w/ flexibility | Full-time | Multiple Roles, $120k–220k + equity + benefits
Why: Comms are contested. Radios make you a target, satellites aren’t guaranteed, and brittle legacy networks won’t survive future fights.

Who we are looking for:
- Software Engineers: large-scale distributed systems, networking, system design, embedded software, DevOps rollouts. Python, C++, Rust. Bonus: SDR, mesh, security.
- Electrical Engineers: PCB layout, embedded, RF, circuits, power/batteries, electro-mechanical. Bonus: DSP.
- Marine/Mechanical Engineers: pressure vessels, subsea robotics, gliders, ruggedized design; DFM, reliability, field deployment.
You will: ship code to robots, test on the water, move fast, own big surface area, and work directly with military operators.
About Us: Our founding team includes a Navy SEAL veteran, defense industry engineers, builders, hackers, and watermen (sailors, boaters, divers, fishermen). We’re focused on real future missions — not legacy requirements. Venture-backed; public launch soon.
Eligibility for a TS/SCI security clearance is a plus. Please send a short note + resume/portfolio to jobs@reveredefense.co with subject HN – Engineering.

We build clinical AI that empowers hospitals to analyze the complete record of every patient to fully capture the value of care delivered. Founded by physicians in 2020, our proprietary AI platform understands the nuances of clinical reasoning, enabling hospitals to accurately reflect every patient visit for fair reimbursement. By doing so, hospitals can recover millions in earned revenue, enhance care outcome and quality metrics, and optimize healthcare operations.
The current team is very high functioning (MD + data scientist combos, former ASF board member, Google and Amazon engineers, Stanford LLM researchers, etc.) and initially scaled the company to $1MM+ in contracted revenue without raising capital.

It’s a shame that we have unbelievably good hardware like collaborative robots (cobots) that could transform warehouses and yet they still struggle with basic tasks like unloading mixed pallets. Why? Because today's software can't handle real-world chaos.
That's where we come in. At ko-br, we're building the AI brains that make robots truly adaptable. Our physical AI models tackle messy, unstructured problems starting with depalletizing of mixed boxes in dynamic warehouses. Think real-time adaptation to shifting pallets, mixed SKUs, and unexpected failures.
We're a deep tech startup at the crossroads of AI, robotics, and human-machine interface. While warehouses are our first battlefield, our core mission is physical AI. So you need to be comfortable with the idea of pivoting to other sectors like education (ex: building robots for schools and universities).

At Friendly Captcha we do one thing and we do it well: we protect websites from malicious actors and bots.
We provide privacy-friendly and accessible anti-bot solutions that don’t annoy users with tasks like clicking fire hydrants. We make the internet a bit better every day by winning over customers currently using Google reCAPTCHA.
We’re a growing, profitable, fully bootstrapped company. Our revenue mostly comes from medium to large European enterprise and governments.
We’re looking for an engineer whose focus will be on using data to improve our bot detection and protection. Telling apart bots from genuine users is vital to our product.
If possible, we prefer to keep things simple (perhaps boring is the right word even?) - choosing an if/else rule over a neural network. Good knowledge of the web is always useful in this company. At our scale we are looking for generalists more than specialists. The role is more about enabling for easy experimentation, data exploration and being creative in anti-bot approaches, than building the perfect ETL pipeline.
Our engineering team is fully remote across Europe, we meet up in person a few times per year. You can work either 4 or 5 days per week, fully remote or (partially) from our Munich office. Please note that we ONLY consider candidates located within the EU/UK/EEA/Switzerland.
Stack: Golang | Typescript | Clickhouse | Postgres | Redis | Python data science stack

Healthcare in the U.S. is a mess. Komodo Health is fixing that—with data. We’ve mapped the patient journey across the country to build the most complete picture of disease burden and treatment gaps. Our customers are pharma, payers, and health systems who actually want to do something meaningful with that information.
We have an exciting product, marmot, that is AI-native, both in the interface as well as in development, and want to carefully grow high productivity teams around this offering. AI integrated with Komodo's data is giving some of the most unique, real world insights any of us has seen come out of the new LLM era. Our product was just featured on Times Sqaure too! https://www.linkedin.com/posts/komodo-health_last-week-our-d...
We are looking for highly independent individuals, who can work in a new, small, but empowered team. What will you be bringing? - Proven experience working on Agentic systems that solve real problems OR Some evidence you have the "instinct" Andrew Ng mentions as the differentiators of successful Agent builders. We also take full ownership of the product, so experience+readiness for fullstack development is a must. Core ML experience is not required and for this position, not relevant at all. The new LLM/Agent era is... different.
Perks will include annual conference trip, periodic travel to SF/NY for on-site, Executive Coaching, etc.
If this post sounds exciting, please apply at https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/komodohealth/jobs/806961600... (mention HN as the source). Please note, we can only consider applicants who are already in the US.
If you wish, please also email me at ramraj.velmurugan@komodohealth.com with an example of how you have figured out that instinct I mention above.
