(CLOSED) Entex | Full-stack Dev | Remote (Worldwide) | 60 to 100 %

entex is a small established Swiss IT service provider. We offer some of the classics: IT support, infrastructure, web development and high-end security cameras. We deal with a lot of “boring” tech and it’s great! (Well, mostly great!)

After a recent change in ownership, we are looking to grow, reinforce the existing team and expand our service offering.

(APPLICATION WINDOW CLOSED)

Formal | Multiple Positions | REMOTE | Full-Time | $100k - $250k + Equity

We're building a new computing stack with formally verified data, memory, and resource isolation between executions for instant, truly elastic global compute. This includes designing and building a production language in a way that's never been done before, with complete, mechanized formal specifications and a certifying compiler from the start. Our immediate goals include an alternative to eBPF and building the world's first serverless networking infrastructure.

We are VC funded with runway for multiple years. The team is composed of PhDs from Stanford, UW, OSU, and Brown, advised by professors from MIT and UWaterloo.

We are currently hiring for the following positions:

- [1] Staff Software Engineer: Compilers, Programming Languages, and Verification ($175k - $250k + ≥ 0.4%)

- [2] Formal Verification Engineer: Formal Methods and Programming Languages ($120k - $200k + ≥ 0.2%)

- [3] Software Engineer: Compilers and Programming Languages ($100k - $175k + ≥ 0.1%)

- [4] Formal Methods PhD Intern: Formal Methods and Programming Languages ($10k / month)

Please see [5] for general information. Apply via our job board [6].

Burnin (London or NYC) | Founding Research Scientist + Founding Engineering Lead | Hybrid (Some on-site) | Full-time

We are building the trust stack for AI code generation, targeted at high-stakes computing where wrong numbers cost real money: a statically typed functional language designed for coding models, a compiler whose guarantees double as audit-grade trust infrastructure, and a coding model fine-tuned on the language with compiler fitness as the training signal. Language and model are co-designed.

Small team out of PyTorch, FAIR, and Meta. Strong institutional VC support from our pre-seed; active investor interest heading into seed.

Founding Research Scientist: own the agenda across the language and the model. Type system design, compiler analyses that produce useful fitness gradients, and fine-tuning open-weight coding models on a language with no pretraining footprint. Publish in PL and ML venues. Strongest fits cross between machine learning, programming languages, and formal methods. PhD preferred, equivalent output equally fine. Stack is Rust, Lean 4, Python.

Founding Engineering Lead: own engineering across compiler internals, language runtime, GPU backends, notebook and library tooling, and the AI infrastructure around training, evaluation, model release, and likely public inference. We already support x86 and ARM, CUDA and AMD, macOS and Linux, and the matrix grows. Real feel for statically typed functional programming expected; the kind of engineer who picks up Lean or Haskell on a weekend because they wanted to. Have led engineering before, formally or not. Stack is mostly Rust with Python where it earns its place, primarily on AWS.

Both roles: comfortable with early-stage ambiguity, define your own roadmap, defend it with evidence.

Engineering Square | AI Engineer | Bay Area, CA | ONSITE | Full-Time

We're hiring an AI Engineer to build and ship production AI systems - not research prototypes. Startup experience is a must: we want someone who has shipped fast in a small team, owned systems end-to-end, and is comfortable with ambiguity. Big-company-only resumes won't be a fit.

You will own: - RAG pipelines and agentic workflows (end-to-end accuracy) - GPU-optimized model deployment (Trident-style architecture) - Production MLOps: distillation, fine-tuning, training orchestration - Data modeling for AI persona capabilities - The infra around it: Docker, CI/CD, logging, monitoring, observability

You should have: - 3-12 years shipping AI/ML in production (notebooks do not count) - Time at a startup or scale-up where you owned what you built - Strong Python; bonus for C++/Java/C# in performance-critical paths - Hands-on with RAG, MLOps tooling, and GPU deployment at scale

W2 full-time. Must be authorized to work in the US. No remote, no C2C.
