Is the team entirely Rust focused right now, or do you anticipate needing frontend or full stack engineers as the product grows?

We received a lot of strong applications for the full-stack position last month, so we decided not to post it again this month.

Hey, I think I'd be a good fit for this role, I already applied for this last month by sending you an email from my public address (TheDcoder [at] protonmail.com), perhaps you missed it? :)

yes, thank you noted, we will check it.

Aqora Quantum | Sr Full-Stack Engineer (Rust + React) | Paris ONSITE or REMOTE (EU) | €70-90k + equity | https://aqora.io

Aqora Quantum is building the algorithm layer of quantum computing: the place where people develop, share, and orchestrate quantum workflows. Hardware gets most of the attention, but the algorithms and the tooling around them are where the field actually becomes useful, and today that work is scattered across notebooks and one-off scripts. We host versioned datasets and reproducible benchmarks so results are comparable, and give teams a way to publish a workflow that someone else can pick up and run. Think Kaggle/Hugging Face, but for quantum. We're a small but growing team, having just raised our seed round, and we're now extending into the US.

We're looking for one senior full-stack engineer. You'd own features end to end: GraphQL API and services in Rust, React/TypeScript frontend, plus the runner that executes user-submitted workflows against simulators and real backends.

You don't need a quantum background, but you do need to enjoy going deep on an unfamiliar technology and getting productive in it fast. That happens here constantly, and we'll give you the time and the people to learn it properly. Beyond that: production Rust you've shipped and maintained, and real comfort across the stack.

Onsite in Paris or remote anywhere in the EU. If you're not in Paris, expect to join us there regularly for team weeks.

Email jannes@aqora.io with a CV or GitHub, mention HN. Happy to answer questions in the thread too.

Lokker.com | Senior Backend Engineer, Scanning Infrastructure | REMOTE: North America / Europe, UTC-8 to UTC+2 | Full-time

Lokker is a privacy platform that helps organizations understand and control what is happening across public-facing infrastructure: websites, browser-side applications, scripts, pixels, cookies, tags, forms, SDK/API calls, and browser-side data flows.

We are hiring a senior backend engineer to own and continue to scale Lokker’s scanning infrastructure. This role focuses on backend systems for high-volume website scanning, browser automation, distributed scanning, networking, reliability, performance, and cost optimization.

IMPORTANT: A key requirement for this role is substantial, hands-on production experience with browser automation, headless browsers, crawlers, scanners, synthetic monitoring, scraping infrastructure, or closely related technologies. This is not a general backend role, and we can only consider candidates who have already built, operated, or scaled systems in this domain.

Other relevant experience includes distributed systems, queues/orchestration, high-scale backend services, HTTP/TLS/DNS, proxies, CDNs, WAFs, bot detection, and fingerprinting.

Production experience in Go, Rust, TypeScript/Node.js, C++, or similar.

Just FYI: the local Chipotle in Petaluma (CA) is offering a starting salary of $20/hr + tips (I just happened to notice this over the weekend), which works out to at least $40K/year, which is the bottom of the range for the Sr SWE QA. Good luck trying to hire at this range!

Yeah,it doesn't make sense that they offer salaries this low for onsite CA. My wife could consider working for this salary from Ohio though.

Senior Python Backend Engineer | REMOTE (EMEA/APAC)

We're looking for Python backend engineers to work on a trustless supercluster of performance-proofed GPU-enabled sandboxed docker container runners controlled by truly decentralized algorithms (not just PAXOS or RAFT).

Wow, that was a mouthful...

If you found it interesting, join Reef Technologies and tackle complex technical challenges like this on your own terms:

- Contribute from wherever you like; we are fully remote

- Set your own time commitment, as long as it's at least 30h per week

- See how we work in our handbook: github.com/reef-technologies/handbook

- Influence the way we operate through our Sociocracy 3.0 decision-making process

Salary on a B2B contract:

- 45-70 USD or 180-280 PLN per hour

- Flexible work schedule (as measured with a time tracker)

- We automatically adjust rates based on inflation twice a year

We're looking for someone with 5+ years of programming experience, including at least a year with Python (including open-source and significant personal projects).

So, what do you think? You don't even need a CV; just go to https://careers.reef.pl/?utm_source=hackernews and shoot a few quick commands to apply.

Edit: If you applied and haven't heard back, please check the spam folder of the email associated with the GitHub account you used to apply — our replies sometimes end up there.

Stripe | Hybrid (50% of time in Toronto office) | Senior Go developer We're looking for a senior-level Go developer who can design and ship idiomatic code our users love to work with. We can all write Go that compiles, but don't always know what best practices for 3rd party code are (in the Go ecosystem specifically). Ideal candidates are a part of the Go community / ecosystem and know what the current best practices…

How firm is the hybrid requirement?

This sounds up my alley - Go (10+ YoE), TS (10+ YoE), PHP (25+ YoE) and I'm very interested but my wife and I both have elderly parents to support so relocating isn't really an option. (Minnesota)
