Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2024)

FUTO | Austin, TX | On-site / Hybrid | Full Time

FUTO is an organization dedicated to developing, both through in-house engineering and investment, technologies that frustrate centralization and industry consolidation. Through a combination of in-house engineering projects, targeted investments, generous grants, and multi-media public education efforts, we will free technology from the control of the few and recreate the spirit of freedom, innovation, and self-reliance that underpinned the American tech industry only a few decades ago. Our principles are here: https://futo.org/about/what-is-futo/

FUTO is hiring for two roles on our new FUTO Store project.

Software Engineer - FUTO Store Android Front-end - In this role you will be responsible for the front-end development of the FUTO App Store. This means: Displaying available apps and their metadata, basic search functionality, integration with FUTO Pay and integration with Polycentric for user reviews and developer updates. https://futo.org/jobs/store-frontend/

Software Engineer - FUTO Store Back-end - In this role you will be responsible for the back-end development of the FUTO Store in Rust. This means: Managing the storage life cycle of APKs, database management, integration with FUTO Pay, and analytics/reporting. https://futo.org/jobs/store-backend/

We also have two QA positions: https://futo.org/jobs/qa-lead/

To apply, send your resume and cover letter to jobs at futo dot org with the subject of the position you're interested in.

I'm in a similar boat right now as a founder -- likely to just hire 1 engineer at this stage, and have runway for 18-24 months at most.

If the hypothesis is correct and the mission is working, you go raise the next round in another 9-12 months.

Nah. That dilutes signal from more important things like detail and scumminess of the poster.

Peanut | Founding Software Engineer (Mobile, Fullstack) | REMOTE | Full-Time | >= $70-110k + 1-2% equity

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. There are two official roles, but we welcome conversations with anyone interested in joining the team.

Please fill out the form at https://peanut.to/jobs and list HN as the place you learned about us.

Bet it's just the standard reason: people collaborate better in person and advance their skills worse over time when WFH.
