Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2025)

Datalab | NYC | Full-time | Software Engineer and Head of Business Ops | $250k-$350k + 1.5-3% equity | https://www.datalab.to

A significant % of useful data is locked away in tough-to-parse formats like PDFs. We build tools to extract it, like https://github.com/VikParuchuri/surya (15k Github stars), and https://github.com/VikParuchuri/marker (19k stars). We also run an inference API and product.

We do meaningful research (we’ve trained several SoTA models), ship product, and contribute to open source. We’re hiring for 2 roles to help us scale:

Senior fullstack software engineer

  - work across our open source repos, inference api, and frontend product
  - interact with our user community
  - you’ll need to be pragmatic, and embrace “boring” technology.  Our stack is fastapi, pytorch, htmx, postgres, and redis.  We deploy to render, and do inference with serverless gpus.
  - requires having built something impressive, ideally an open source project

Head of business operations

  - first non-technical hire
  - work across multiple areas, including finance, hiring, and sales
  - you’ll need to be extremely organized and able to get a lot done
  - requires experience leading operations at an early stage

Email careers@datalab.to if you’re interested - include a link to something you’ve built if possible. You can also read more here - https://datalab-to.notion.site/careers-jan .

AI Insurance (YC W19) | Senior Software Engineer - Lead App Factory Specialist | Hybrid (San Francisco) or Remote AI Insurance (aiinsurance.io) is the platform that small-to-midsize insurance companies use to run every part of their business. Before we showed up, they used spreadsheets and filing cabinets – wasting as much as 60% of revenue on administrative expenses. We’re doing what Salesforce did for SMB sales teams, but we’re tapping into the over 10,000 insurance companies that waste $238 Billion dollars annually.

Looking for someone with experience building low-code / no-code platforms and experience designing and deploying a domain-specific language.

Quatt.io | Amsterdam, Netherlands | Full-time | Hybrid/ONSITE | https://quatt.io | climate tech

I'm head of Software at Quatt, a quickly growing scaleup building heatpumps to help fix climate change. Heating and cooling is 50% of all energy used in the EU. Heat pumps save 10 times more CO2 for each Euro spent on them compared to electric cars. We're building the most accessible and smartest heatpumps on the market. Our first product is live, the next ones announced, we have thousands of customers, tons of data, and I really like the impact we're having. We also raised €25 million for further expansion. I’m currently looking for a few roles for my department, as we believe having the best software will allow us to have the best product. Our backend and frontend is Typescript.

I mostly wanted to highlight the Team Lead for Team Boss, which builds all tools needed to run our multi-million euro business - and we are as software driven as we can be. Looking for someone who can drive that team to great heights.

  * Team Lead Team Boss (Engineering manager, Typescript)
  * Full stack developer (Typescript)

Now is a great time to join, as the software team is still small but growing quickly. These and other vacancies are on our careers page: https://www.quatt.io/working-at-quatt Email me directly ( my-hacker-news-username@quatt.io ) for questions or apply via the career page. We do look for people that can be in the office regularly, so not fully remote.
