Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are all of your positions like that, or only durable objects? I was always interested but the defined locations in the job descriptions held me back from applying.

This, like most parts of the application process, are team dependent at Cloudflare. I manage another team, Cloudflare D1, and I do not see myself hiring someone for that team that is not willing to do hybrid in Austin or London. The existing team works well being in the office.

“The job description says remote on HN, but it says hybrid Austin on the jobs page, but disregard that, it can be remote like I originally said. But also some teams are only going to be hybrid no matter what.

So some jobs are hybrid onsite and some are fully remote but even if i said just now that all jobs can be remote, some jobs aren’t really fully remote because I can’t envision it in my mind that they would be effective fully remote, even though I myself am fully remote.”

Did I understand what you wrote properly?

Microsoft Research is hiring Senior MLE's in Cambridge, MA (ONSITE).

Responsibilities include the training of generative models and anything that contributes to the betterment of their capabilities -- profiling / optimizing their throughput, scaling training runs, tuning of hyperparameters / data mixes, etc. If it makes the model better, it's fair game!

Depending on the project, you will likely be involved in some combination of AR model training, diffusion model training, midtraining, post-training, multimodal training, etc.

As you can likely surmise, we're looking for folks who are flexible and comfortable wearing many hats. If this sounds like you and you're interested in working in a research environment, consider applying!

Count | Senior Software Engineer | REMOTE (UK/Europe/US East Coast) | Full-time | £100–140k (or local equivalent) + Equity | https://count.co

Count is an infinite, real-time canvas where SQL, Python, and low-code query cells live side-by-side with visualizations and freeform whiteboarding. It replaces the traditional linear notebook with a collaborative space for modeling, analysis, and presentation.

Under the hood, we've built a custom WebGL rendering engine, data visualization library, graph-based modeling layer, and horizontally scalable compute engine (DuckDB-based) that dynamically shifts execution between browser and server to minimize latency and reduce database load.

You'll help evolve the core platform: integrating agentic workflows into data exploration, pushing the performance limits of our distributed execution layer, and building powerful new analytics experiences used daily by customers. You'll have high autonomy and ownership over major parts of the product and technical roadmap, from architecture through production.

Tech stack: TypeScript, Python, Node.js, WebAssembly, WebGL, Apache Arrow/Parquet, DuckDB, Kubernetes, React.

Ionworks | Founding Systems Engineer | Remote (US) or Pittsburgh, PA | Full-time Ionworks builds battery simulation and optimization software used by R&D teams designing next-generation batteries. We are looking for a founding backend / systems engineer to own big pieces of our backend and help us scale from a few early customers to broader industry use.

Work: - FastAPI, async Python, Supabase/Postgres - Designing APIs and data models for simulation and optimization workflows - Performance and reliability work across the stack (queries, async, concurrency, resource limits) - Job orchestration for running and tracking simulations - Observability: logging, metrics, tracing, debugging real issues

We are especially interested in people who work in a "vibe engineering" style: using LLMs and coding agents as accelerators, but still planning ahead, writing tests, supervising agents, and staying fully responsible for code quality and architecture. If you already use AI tools this way in your day-to-day work, you will fit in well here.

Stack: FastAPI, Python, Supabase/Postgres, distributed compute for simulations, AI-assisted dev.

Benefits: competitive salary, meaningful equity, remote-first, unlimited PTO, 401k match, medical/dental/vision, paid parental leave, home office budget.

If this sounds interesting, send a short note to valentin@ionworks.com with "HN backend" in the subject and fill in the application here: https://apply.workable.com/ionworks/j/A8C2F4287C/

Is the Software Engineer role actually remote? The job posting says on-site and your Careers Page says:

> We work together, in person, in downtown San Francisco. And we have frequent team offsites. We believe this cadence is optimal for modern knowledge work. Remote work is not for us
