Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2023)

76 Software Engineering Group | Oklahoma City, OK | FULL-TIME | ONSITE | U.S. CITIZENSHIP REQUIRED

76 SWEG is a civilian software engineering organization operating under the United States Air Force. We are hundreds of (civilian) scientists and engineers that provide software, hardware, and engineering support solutions to a variety of Air Force and military platforms. We are located on Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, OK. We often operate like a contractor to other parts of the military and federal government by providing independent engineering services without seeking a profit. We have dozens of active projects using C/C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, LabVIEW, Visual Basic, Assembly, Ada, Fortran, and other more esoteric languages. We have immediate opportunities available to hire candidates with degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or closely-related fields. If you are interested in learning more, please e-mail 76SMXG.Tinker.Careers@us.af.mil and tell them Jake sent you.

I applied months ago and was skeptical of their process. Their filter is a take-home test involving a code review and a simple algorithm problem. Neither is particularly hard, but I did poorly because I didn't realize they were grading it on a point-system by comparing it to an answer key. If you have a typo or do something differently than their key, you lose points. Lose a few points and you're out.

Honestly, it reminded me of someone trying to hire an author by giving them a spelling test.

Obviant | Founding Team: Head of Engineering/CTO, Founding Team: Full Stack Developer | Full-time | Remote / Washington, DC

We’re on a mission to get better tech into government by fixing how companies sell to gov & defense. We’ve started by building a marketplace that solves the most critical pain point for companies - access to relationships + knowledge & skills to navigate the process.

A few reasons you might be excited:

- Raised from institutional investors and have heavy-hitting national security veterans and technology industry advisors

- We’re looking for founding team members; first in on the ground floor.

- You’ll get to build & own something + have a substantial equity stake

- Bonus: Building AI at the intersection of technology and gov/defense

Same here. I did see on LinkedIn that Ramp already has a fully fledged iOS team though, can't imagine needing that much more head count.

Puma Browser | Remote | Engineering (iOS, Android) & Growth | $75-150k base + generous equity | join.puma.gg

Hi all, I’m Yuriy, founder of Puma Browser. I've previously worked in developer relations at Cloudant (YC S08), Meteor (YC S11), Parse (YC S11), and explored AI/ML (computer vision for self-driving cars) before diving deep into crypto. I view crypto as primarily a developer platform and an experiment in building an open financial system, which unfortunately comes with politics, hype, and price rollercoasters.

We started with the idea of a privacy-first browser with built-in micropayments (via the Interledger Protocol) and have since added support for identity (HNS, ENS; Unstoppable Domains in testing) and storage (IPFS; Arweave in testing). Our next steps include wallets for main chains and experiments with GPT/LLMs and gaming.

We recently surpassed 500k downloads and are excited to grow our team. Our backers include Protocol Labs, Hard Yaka, Shima Capital, Fenbushi, Don Ho (Orange DAO, Quantstamp), Sridhar Ramaswamy (Neeva, Greylock), Jason Warner (ex-GitHub CTO, VP Eng Heroku & Canonical), Illia Polosukhin (NEAR Protocol) and many more.

Our Values:

• We value Optimism, Curiosity, Kindness, and Grit.

• We’re remote-first.

• Only one recurring weekly meeting to maximize state of flow.

• We’re careful with growth and never had to do layoffs.

Open Roles:

- iOS Engineer - Android Engineer - Head of Memes & Growth

How to Apply:

Visit join.puma.gg or email your application to careers+hn@pumabrowser.com.

We also appreciate your thoughts on which crypto or GPT features we should build next. Cheers!
