Lokker.com | Data Scientist, Classification and Scoring | REMOTE: North America / Europe, UTC-8 to UTC+2 | Full-time

Lokker is a privacy platform. We continuously analyze websites, applications, third-party technologies and data flows to identify privacy, security and consent risks in production. We have built a large proprietary dataset from years of observing real-world digital behavior, and we are hiring a data scientist to help us expand and improve the classification, scoring and risk intelligence built on it.

You will develop and improve models that classify digital activity, identify meaningful privacy and security behaviors, and assess the confidence and significance of findings.

Looking for 2 to 4 years of production experience in data science and machine learning. Strong Python and SQL, pandas or Polars, scikit-learn and modern classification techniques, familiarity with model evaluation and explainability. Practical experience in training and evaluating supervised classification models on real PRODUCTION data, practical LLM experience beyond simple demonstrations, and curiosity about how websites and internet technologies actually behave. You do not need a privacy or adtech background. We will teach the domain.

You will work closely with engineering, product and privacy experts, and what you build goes directly into the product.

IMPORTANT: the timezone range above is a hard requirement, not a preference. We cannot make an exception.

ON APPLICATIONS: we assume you used AI to help write it. So do we. What we cannot do is verify a claim that exists only in the document you sent us, so make sure the skills you claim are visible somewhere public: LinkedIn with real dates and role detail, GitHub, papers, Kaggle, a writeup, a talk. If your best work is under NDA, say so and describe it in your own words.

A human reads every application. No keyword filter, no automated rejection.

Starlight | Senior Full-Stack Engineer | REMOTE (US), NYC preferred

I’m the Head of Engineering at Starlight, and we’re hiring a senior full-stack engineer.

We build software that helps financial institutions connect people with government benefits they’re eligible for. More than $100B in benefits go unclaimed every year because the underlying systems are fragmented and difficult to navigate. We’re trying to change that.

Our engineering team is intentionally small, so this is a high-ownership role. You’ll work across the stack, help shape our architecture and engineering culture, and have significant influence over how and what we build.

One area I’m especially excited about is building an “AI-first” engineering organization. I put that in quotes intentionally because I don’t think the industry has figured out exactly what it means yet—and neither have we. I want this person to help me figure it out.

I’ll encourage experimentation and use of AI, and we’ll have lots of conversations about what works and what doesn’t. But I’m not setting token quotas or mandating that people use AI for everything. I care much more about figuring out where it genuinely makes us better.

I’m actively involved in the hiring process and happy to answer questions about the team, role, or company.

Strobe Power | Site Reliability Engineer | ONSITE (SF) | https://strobepower.com

AI data centers are creating a massive new wave of electricity demand and putting even more strain on an aging grid. Strobe is building the power company that will meet that demand.

Our software turns batteries and generators at commercial and industrial buildings into distributed power plants that can buy, sell, and dispatch electricity in real time. We build the control stack for operating these assets and the trading platform that connects them to wholesale energy markets.

We’re a small, high-ownership team working on critical infrastructure. You’ll learn how the energy system actually works: what happens inside the electrical room of a large commercial building, how data centers are powered, how utilities and grid operators communicate, and how a battery gets commissioned and brought online.

This is early, technical, and very real-world. The software you build will control physical equipment, keep power plants online, and move money in regulated markets. We’re the only company actively trading distributed power in FERC-regulated wholesale markets, with multiple behind-the-meter power plants operating in NYC and expansion underway in California and along the East Coast.

I’m looking for an experienced SRE to own our infrastructure and reliability. We remotely operate millions of dollars of equipment, and it has to work. You’ll own our AWS environment, the control-room infrastructure that communicates directly with utilities and market operators, and the systems we use to deploy, observe, and operate a growing fleet. You’ll also work closely with the rest of the engineering team to establish good patterns as we ship new services and features.

You’re probably a good fit if you have deep AWS experience, have used Terraform seriously in production, write a lot of Python, and are comfortable working around Rust services. Energy experience is useful but not required (SCADA, DNP3, MQTT).

Stack: Python, TypeScript, Rust, Terraform, AWS, GraphQL/AppSync, MQTT, Grafana. We work in a monorepo designed for agent-assisted engineering workflows and are investing heavily in making engineers dramatically more effective with coding agents.
