We have two major advantages: 1. We can use best-in-class AI tech, from any vendor (ie. OpenAI) -- whereas Google is only going to use their internal tech 2. We can take lots of UX risk when designing the perfect UI for an AI email client. Gmail has to be much more cautious given it's such a core, old, massive product.

Hello from FlightAware! We are hiring for a number of positions, including Network Reliability Engineering and software engineering. Our team is headquartered in Houston, Texas, but we work as a distributed team and accept remote applicants for work within the United States.

FlightAware has built the world’s leading aviation software platform, processing over 180 million incoming messages an hour from over 30,000 feeds—over 2TB a day and growing—to provide the best, most complete, and most accurate real-time flight tracking services in the industry. We use Python, Rust, C++, Tcl, and JavaScript. We are proud to have built a wide variety of successful products on this foundation that have become central to the aviation industry at large.

The overall product is very simple: USDT that pays you the yield.

You will be able to go to curve, swap USDT or USDC to stUSD, and then earn ~4% APY by just holding stUSD (each day, wallet balance increases). You will also be able to go to the protocol website and see up-to-date bank reserves & stUSD debt, and the protocol stays overcolateralized at all times. We will have a focus on transparency and reducing all risks, including smart-contract, liquidity and collateralization risks.

There is no reason for centrally managed stablecoin issuers such as USDT or USDC to not share the yield on reserves with token holders, so we do just that.

We create a new stablecoin: stUSD, collateralized mostly by 3-month T-bills. 90% of the yield on reserves is paid to holders with the same mechanism Lido uses. stUSD is similar to stETH, and wstUSD similar to wstETH. (except yield comes from T-bills instead of staking rewards).

I am currently managing a prop trading firm (~1B average daily volume) that will operate a market maker and arbitrage for stUSD. We are very well positioned for such a project, as we have both the capital and lawyers+bank relationships (with the operation of our fund) to get it started.

The growth strategy is to be first to market at importing the “TradFi risk-free rate” into Defi, grow a large TVL through this position, and then grow the network effects of stUSD: usage as collateral, dexes, and lending pools.

The role will include the following: writing smart contracts, managing audits, documentation, and project website. I know good solidity devs but they cannot commit to full time, and I want someone onsite, full-time for this role.

Really? I have a hard time seeing why this must be the case.
