Project Debug | General Engineer | Singapore (HYBRID) | Full-time | debug.com Project Debug raises, sorts by sex, and releases millions of (non-biting) male mosquitoes in Singapore to reduce the local mosquito population and prevent the spread of dengue and other mosquito-borne illnesses. Our trial in Fresno, CA showed a 95% reduction in female mosquitoes during the seasonal peak. Our engineering team is pretty small…

Awesome project

vvd | Design Engineer | Remote (work from anywhere) | Full-time | React, TypeScript, Next.js https://vvd.world We’re building tools for storytellers, worldbuilders, writers, and creators. We’re looking for a Design Engineer who can design and build polished product experiences end-to-end. You should care deeply about taste, interaction, motion, and frontend craft, but also understand enough about APIs, auth, and data…

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 Last December, I tried building a new editor because many existing tools felt outdated or didn’t integrate AI well enough(Reedsy, Scrivener, or Google Docs). I built 2–3 pages, but after doing more research, I found that novelium ai was doing something very similar, so I scrapped the idea.

Recently, I started creating a short story again, this time about a magic school. I am gonna use Claude and MCP servers to 3D characters, interactive posts, maybe even small games. It has become easy to do that now, and making complete word(or just I think it is). Idea is still in progress, but it’s something I’m genuinely interested in.

When I checked out vvd, I found it really fascinating. I think it could work very well, and I’d really love to be part of it.

That said, I wanna be honest about it, I’m more of a frontend developer than a designer. I’m interested in design and would love to explore, but I don’t have a strong design portfolio to show yet. Although I have worked on a Three.js to build some cool thing, along with React, TypeScript, Next.js.

If possible, I’d love to connect and see if there’s a way I can be part of vvd.

Thanks :)

Espresso AI | Staff ML, Staff Infra, FDE | Brooklyn or San Francisco | Full time

We're using LLMs to build neural optimizers, neural scheduling systems, and neural workload tuners. (If you're ex-Google, you can think of it like Borg powered by LLMs.)

Today we use ML to make data warehouses and spark jobs more efficient. We're hiring staff ML engineers to train models that can understand how much compute a job needs, how it scales to larger machines, whether a machine can run more jobs, and so on; and staff infra engineers to take those models and deploy them on real-world production systems.

We're also looking for FDEs who can help us talk to users and run pilots. This is a pretty technical role (you need to be able to do data analysis and debug in prod) that's also user-facing - it should be a good fit for a former (or future) technical founder.

If this sounds cool, please email me: ben [at] espresso [dot] ai

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.

At the core is one of the largest real-time optimization problems in the world: how do you safely sequence ~40,000 flights/day while routing around weather, military airspace, equipment outages, and constant real-world churn? The system has to be right every time, and reliable at scale.

We’re hiring across Backend, Infrastructure, and Frontend (ICs and Tech Leads).

One of our roles (with a small puzzle at the bottom that routes to my email): https://www.airspace-intelligence.com/careers/role?=1336c828... - include “HackerNews” in the subject so I can prioritize.

If you want a problem that is genuinely hard, consequential, and urgent - this is the moment to reach out.
