Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2024)

Hi folks, I'm hiring in the engineering team at Kalvium across SDE2 to Lead levels. We are building the google-maps of education - the only edtech where we bring a focused, standardized, digital approach to CS higher education. I speak about this on this podcast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be1yEJbyEkQ).

At the entry level, we only have final year internships (9-12 months) + PPO for students who are graduating in 2025. We index heavily on prior project/open source work for this role.

Here's 3 cool things we've done:

1. 100% AI based evaluators in B.Tech CS 4 year program.

2. Measuring and improving each one of the 4000 hours of the program in the classroom.

2. Launched our full-fledged program in 20+ universities in India, where students are placed from 3rd semester onwards. This year we've had more premium universities signup: SRM, VIT, Christ, etc.

3. Solid business fundamentals - sustainability in every classroom with our revenue.

To align you to our approach: we seek out engineers who want to involve with this problem statements. Edtech v1.0 in India does not have a good rep (tell me about it!), but the problem statements remains: higher education system is broken, and not giving students the outcomes they are capable of (Here's the outcomes we deliver - https://kalvium.com/hire-from-us/).

Our main realization is: we can't rely on people to drive a significant change, rather it has to be a system which builds and uplifts skills in students. That's what we've built and launched in above universities (https://kalvium.com/heros/). We have a 12 year roadmap! it's a blue ocean, and we want to build and lead Edtech V2.0.

Note on team culture/equity: We plan on being a small core team that geeks out on learning and platform-izing it! Our pay is commensurate to experience with meaningful equity. We plan for a 4 year path of growth for every individual in our team. If this sounds like a meaningful challenge and place to build your career, please reach out to me via anil@kalvium.com with your resume.

We're bringing currency back to cryptocurrency. We care a LOT about UX and are at the forefront of chain and account abstraction. We’re making crypto actually usable as a currency and not just a degenerate gambling fiesta.

We are VC-funded ($1.4m pre-seed), advised by heavyweights like ex-venmo CTO, and founded by Harvard alum.

Please fill out the form at https://peanut.to/jobs and list HN as the place you learned about us. We're excited build together!

We’re looking for a Co-Founder & CTO to join us at the ground level and help build an AI search LLM model that amplifies authentic voices. We're leveraging GenAI and RAG to redefine how search works — more transparent, fair, and creator-centric.

Who We’re Looking For;

First, please keep in mind: we’re describing the background we imagine would best fit the role. If you don’t meet every requirement but feel confident you can handle the challenge, we still want to hear from you! We know this is an ambitious challenge, and we need the right technical partner to tackle it with us. Specifically:

- The Engineer: Deep expertise in Backend Engineering, GenAI (with focus on Search/RAG), and scalable architecture. You must be able to handle large daily data pipelines. - The Leader: Someone with strategic and hands-on experience, who can guide both vision and execution. - The Changemaker: Someone who thrives on building from scratch and exploring uncharted territory.

Ideally, our tech co-founder will be building with us on-site in Paris

If this resonates, let’s connect and see if our vision aligns.

If it's not you but you know someone you trust could be a fit, I would love a warm intro.
