Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2023)

I'm the founder and CTO at Slim.AI. I created DockerSlim as a hackathon project and it turned into a journey to help devs building containerized cloud-native apps. We are still early stage, but we are fortunate enough to have 40M+ to support our mission.

Our engineering team is the innovation engine for our product because we are building a solution to solve our own problems creating and running containerized cloud-native applications.

We use Golang, Serverless/Lambda and containers. More about us and the role on our eng github page ( https://github.com/slim-ai/engineering/blob/master/roles/bac... ).

We don't do Leetcode or the usual trivia-based puzzles and whiteboarding interviews. We customize the interview process based on the candidates and their background to make sure we get to learn as much possible and to see how working together can be mutually beneficial.

Our Engineering Principles:

* We use what we build.

* We share a common cloud-native mindset and a platform thinking DNA.

* We create stage appropriate designs that can evolve and that can be thrown away when necessary.

* We optimize for evolvable architecture building an extensible and composable system with disposable components using an API first approach.

* We optimize our designs for people first and machines second.

* We care about the entire system we are building considering the needs of our teammates and the impact of the design decisions we make.

* We learn together.

* We share knowledge and give back to the tech community.

* We have a written down and transparent culture that enables our remote first asynchronous approach to engineering.

* We have a lightweight engineering process based on trust, self-alignment and visibility.

Screenly is a digital signage platform (industry jargon for display management). Think screens on walls with advertisements or dashboards.

We’re the most developer friendly digital signage platform, and you will be in the center of this, joining our Device Squad. In this position, you will be exposed to a lot of exciting technologies, ranging from Rust to WASM and mTLS.

Heliax is a public goods lab which was built on years of pioneering experience across distributed systems, programming language theory, and zero-knowledge cryptography. All our work is open-source. Examples of some of our projects are Namada (https://github.com/anoma/namada), a sovereign proof-of-stake blockchain; Juvix (https://github.com/anoma/juvix), an experimental programming language; and Taiga (https://github.com/anoma/taiga), a framework for generalized shielded state transitions.

We are currently actively hiring for a number of positions, most notably Senior Rust Engineers.

For the Senior Rust Engineer position, we are looking for experienced Rust developers that are interested in applying novel research to create high-quality open-source technology and solve outstanding problems in the blockchain space. You'll be working on distributed ledger technology implemented in Rust, all the way up and down the stack from the P2P layer to consensus algorithms, smart contract systems, proof-of-stake incentive mechanisms, privacy-enhancing cryptographic components, and on-chain governance procedures.

For the Protocol Security Lead, you'll be responsible for breaking protocols both in theory and practice in and outside the company, and assembling a team to help them do so. You'll receive a high degree of latitude and autonomy to prioritize tasks and search for the weakest links in complex systems in order to break them. The rough structure could be compared to Google Project Zero, but with a focus on cryptographic protocols & implementations instead of web technology writ large. The ideal candidate would have a background in cryptographic protocol design (e.g. Signal protocol, Noise protocol, TLS), distributed systems protocol design (e.g. Raft, PBFT, replicated SQL) and a penchant for quickly understanding and finding both design & implementation mistakes in unfamiliar systems. You might also have experience in systems hacking, capture-the-flag competitions, penetration testing, or similar activities. Experience in mechanism design, game theory, or cryptoeconomic design is a bonus but not a requirement.

Heliax is a remote-first team, currently composed of cross-disciplinary members located around the world. All of our work is open-source. Our work culture is characterized by open-allocation, where team members have a high degree of freedom and autonomy in choosing when to work, what to work on, and whom to work with.

We have other openings as well, which can be seen at https://heliax.dev/jobs#all-jobs.
