Heya, I’m applying for this role, but I wanted to add something. I’m a big fantasy fan. I used to read Chinese/Korean webnovels, Japanese light novels, manhwas, and I’ve now moved more into epic fantasy. I recently completed the Cosmere and gonna start red rising soon(after I get a job lol) I’ve also tried writing, didn't get too far with it, but I felt there was still room for a writing tool. Last December, I tried…

Hey HN! Air Space Intelligence ( https://www.airspace-intelligence.com ) is hiring. We are a frontier AI and product company for the critical industries and defense, backed by a16z. We’re rebuilding America’s air traffic control system from scratch. What we do in the next two years will define how this country moves through the sky for the next fifty.

There’s a note that there are “mandated certifications” with the federal government required for hire - is that a security clearance, or something simpler?

Startup working on AI Healthcare solutions (plus some random experiments) | REMOTE(US, Pacific time zone) | Full time and project based

Full time engineering role (Remote, US person required; Pacific time zone)

Stack: C#, Python, Gemini API on Windows, lots of legacy systems/constrained enterprise environment. Health systems experience preferred. Understanding of cost effective, reliable LLM API use. Should be flexible: do PM-like work with less-technical client domain experts, solve problems end to end, willing to data cleaning and detailed work for client goals and security/compliance gruntwork, even when it's not technically elegant. Self motivated, willing to understand legacy and undocumented codebases, but also willing to take instructions.

Ideal candidate has real (pre-Claude Code) experience, but is ready to do fast iteration in post-AI world, while actually reading what the AI does. We're ok if your stack is different, if you're both technically mature and up to date on modern fast-turnaround AI-based development. Probably in the 5+ year experience range.

REMOTE anywhere, project based or initially part time: startup generalist hacker, maintain systems and websites, code one-off prototypes. Should be good enough to code without an AI in a few languages, but an effective AI harness coder. Can do a small but complete app/project end to end, including basic marketing. 2+ year exp or a new grad with a good portfolio or major project; happy to consider more experienced person. Good role for someone who's working on their own startup to pick up some side money and experience. Projects could be anything from game-like apps/novelties to voice tools to utility apps.

REMOTE anywhere, project based or initially part time: help on some more experimental mathy projects. M.S./Ph.D. in statistics, physics or related, with pragmatic programming experience. Possible projects: gaussian process modeling; designing evaluation metrics; compression; Bayesian tools for radiology imaging. May be good for a grad student part time. This is the fun stuff the founder would rather be doing himself if he had the time.

REMOTE (US person) Half-time remote admin/chief of staff type: deal with bookkeeping, compliance, communications, social media, phone calls - save us time on everything non-technical. Should be effective AI user; should have some relevant experience supporting tech business.
