Wikimedia Foundation | Lead Product Manager, Security | REMOTE (US + 18 countries) | Full-time

I lead the security and safety team for Wikipedia, at the Wikimedia Foundation. I’m hiring a product manager to lead our security roadmap and steer the priorities of our security engineering team.

It’s a high-pace, shipping-heavy time for the whole project right now, as we are dedicating ourselves to surviving all the ways AI is messing with us and the internet, and getting to the other side of it. I joined myself about a year ago, and have found it to be a great time and place to swing big and surprise people.

This is a PM role and PM background is certainly helpful, but it’s not strictly required (everyone has the first PM job at some point). A technical background and security expertise are a must for this role, so we’re also open to people in engineering roles, who have demonstrated PM-relevant skills and are interested in making a pivot.

You can apply at https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jobs/8140060?gh_s... - we don’t auto-filter based on AI or anything like that, I will personally see your resume.

FitMate | Frontend Engineer (Junior) | REMOTE (US) | $80-120k + bonus

We are building a scalable 1-1 coaching platform to help people achieve their fitness goals. We already have a working nutrition product with a rapidly growing user base and are hoping to branch out into other areas of fitness this quarter.

Our product aims to hook people up with a qualified human coach at an affordable price. We have a client facing mobile app and web app that allows our users to track their nutrition and training, and a coach facing app that allows our coaches to get insights into their clients and communicate with them over SMS or video call.

We're a small, lean, mission-driven team and the role is a great opportunity for someone starting out in their career who wants to learn quickly in a fast paced environment.

We use React Native and Expo for our mobile app and Astro and Svelte for our web apps.

* Applicants must be based in the US, we are unable to sponsor visas.

Apply here: https://careers.fitmatecoach.com/roles/junior-frontend-devel...

*Fastly | Software Engineers (Senior, Staff, Principal) | US, UK, EU, APAC ONSITE PREFERRED | Full-time*

When you look at the headers of major websites, you’ll see us. If it has to be performant, secure, scaled worldwide, and always-on, it uses Fastly.

We're a global edge cloud platform for performance and security, emphasizing open standards, sustainable engineering, and resilience-by-design.

We're hiring across compute, security, platform engineering, network and edge protocols, release engineering, network architecture, client services engineering, and more.

Onsite preferred, but remote candidates with a strong fit are welcome!

Rather than building walled gardens, we co-founded the Bytecode Alliance, heavily upstream our work to open standards, actively author IETF drafts, and power the global infrastructure for open-source Python, Rust, Ruby, OpenStreetMap, and much more.

* The Stack: Rust, C/C++, Go, Javascript, Typescript, WebAssembly (Wasm/WASI), Wasmtime, Cranelift, eBPF/XDP, QUIC, HTTP, TLS, TCP, Varnish/VCL, Linux kernel internals, distributed systems, professional services. * Apply: https://www.fastly.com/about/careers

Mondrio | Founding Product Engineer | San Francisco | ONSITE | $200k – $250k plus equity

Mondrio (https://mondrio.io) builds agentic pricing management: AI agents plus pricing experts that keep B2B pricing current rather than a one-off, one-time exercise. The founding team ran 150+ pricing engagements before starting the company and are translating that expertise to shape the next frontier of pricing in the agentic era.

The role comes with significant scope and high autonomy. You will own the full product lifecycle: customer discovery -> rapid prototyping -> agent-ready specs -> shipping via agentic orchestration -> o11y and evals -> growth & expansion.

Here are some domains you will ship: - Multi-agent simulation to emulate the behavior of a buying committee - A2A pricing interactions governed by OPA/Rego policies defined from natural language - Generative UX driven by a MCP server with full system capabilities access - Autonomous quote generation and real-time deal intelligence during sales calls

We don't have PMs or product designers so you serve as the product bridge between the founders, pricing experts, and engineering. If you're a mature engineer, looking to work with a very senior/staff team across the stack: customers, models, server, clients (web, TUI, chatbots), evals, then this is the role for you. In short, the role is ideal for someone who has significant product engineering expertise and has sharpened their SDLC competency to be AI-native.

MONUMENTAL | https://www.monumental.co/ | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Full Time | Onsite

We make robots that autonomously construct buildings, starting with bricklaying.

There's a lot of vapourware in robotics, but we're deploying robots across multiple concurrent sites today - and generating revenue. In the last couple of months, our robots have built affordable social housing, health care living units, canal walls in the historic city centre of Amsterdam, and a youth sports centre. Help us to build things that matter in the long run.

We're looking for experienced software engineers for many roles. You can help us solve problems like:

- Data sync and analytics queries across a fleet of robots (that can be offline for hours at a time)

- Modelling buildings in code and finding the right UI for operators to edit them

- Designing systems for robots to drive safely and fully autonomously around a building site

Check out the progress we've already made on Atrium, our operating system for robotics: https://www.monumental.co/atrium

We're rapidly scaling up operations - we'll be building in the UK soon - and we need experienced engineers who can build the systems that manage all of that complexity. If you think that 'full-stack' could reasonably mean debugging firmware, mixing buckets of mortar _and_ writing React components, we are looking for you. Robotics experience not required!

Statecraft | Forward Deployed Engineer (All Levels) | REMOTE (US) | $160-220k + equity

At Statecraft, we are building an AI workforce to help automate the US government. Currently our government is operated almost entirely by consultants who outnumber public servants 3:1 and institutionalize inefficiency so they can bill more hours. This only leads to agencies struggling to meet their missions, overworked and underpaid public servants, and overburdened taxpayers.

Most of what these consultants do is easily automatable: data entry, basic spreadsheet work, filling out paperwork, etc.; we do this with AI and save taxpayers ~80% on average while completing the work ~10x faster with 2-3x less errors.

We're a small, lean, mission-driven team and hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to build use cases and integrate deeply with agency customers. You'll be working with critical systems, massive surface area and national impact.

* This position requires U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain/maintain a security clearance.

Source (https://source.inc)| USA/Canada: REMOTE | Full-Time

Our mission: make handling memory, state, and context for AI agents outside the cloud as simple as it is in the cloud. Today it isn't close. An agent without data is inert, and outside the cloud, data is duct tape.

An agent in the field needs data that is verifiable, auditable, concurrent, collaborative, and permissioned. No single system gives you all five. SQLite gives you local storage and nothing else. Every other database assumes the cloud is there to provide the rest.

We're building the data layer agents actually run on: local-first, syncs peer to peer, every write verifiable, every read auditable, no cloud required. The stack is open source: https://github.com/sourcenetwork/defradb. We think it's the best memory an agent can have, bar none.

We’re growing fast and are looking to fill the following positions:

-Chief of Staff - https://source.network/careers/chief-of-staff

-Growth Hacker, Developer Adoption - https://source.network/careers/growth-hacker-developer-adopt...

-Head of Business Development - https://source.network/careers/head-of-business-development

Tufalabs | Zurich, ONSITE | Full-time | 100-200k CHF | https://tufalabs.ai/

(I want to preface that we don't have a ton of budget to expand our team right now and we want to keep the team small, but I also don't want to miss someone who would be a great fit)

We are a self-funded independent AI research lab in Zurich. Currently we explore ARC-AGI3, LLM/RL reasoning, and quant. We recently started a new LLM post-training and pre-training effort, led by some ex-engineers from the swissAI Apertus team. We also like to do some Kaggle on the side, our team includes the top #3 and #12 globally.

Our overall roadmap is to catch up with LLM capabilities, own the full stack, and use it to do our own independent research, pushing efficiency and looking for new paradigms. We expect our new cluster (2x NVL GB300) to be up by the end of the month.

Long term we want to switch to AI alignment/safety research as I believe this is all that matters when AI capability is high enough.

We look for people who are driven, who believe it's possible to make significant contributions to both AI capabilities and safety, and with previous experience pre-training and post-training LLMs and related infra.

If interested, email me at benjamin at tufalabs ai.

Trustworthy Technology | Earth | Part Time | REMOTE | Vision, Marketing, and/or Design

Hi, we are a small group trying to bring the "trustworthy" feature back to tech. Curating and building a FOSS+ toolset, storefront, and eventually online service—all to support freedom, privacy, and informed consent—on device and on the net.

We've written our thoughts and research down at: https://trustworthy.technology/ and we have a few geeks starting projects at: https://codeberg.org/aol

First off, you'll notice that you've not heard about this project before. Next, the message is a bit scattered, and the "programmer art," while arguably not horrible isn't winning any awards either, haha.

That's where you come in.

You are one of the few folks who really cares about this stuff, and also a graphic/product designer, or perhaps a digital marketer, communicator or "people whisperer." (Being in the EU would be helpful as well, to work from the digital sovereignty angle, though not required.)

Some of us are unemployed and currently donating our time. Maybe you are too, or retired/cashed-out and bored. Consider this another FOSS-like project. We hope the store/service will make money, but we're not there yet.

Interested? Let's chat at: https://trustytech.zulipchat.com/join/h5usqnt2bet7exz747cbf3...

BTW, if/when you join please say hi let us know what kind of projects you're interested in.

Cardog | Toronto, Canada or REMOTE | Full-time https://cardog.app/careers

We're the system of record for the Canadian vehicle: raw automotive data turned into facts that can be checked. Our open-source VIN decoder sits underneath a government vehicle registry.

Some of what's interesting:

- A government registry, a manufacturer's own filing, a listing site and an insurance record will describe the same truck four different ways, and nothing in any of those files says they're the same truck. Reconciling that, for every vehicle in the country, in a way that holds up when a regulator asks how you know, is most of the data work.

- Seventeen characters on a door frame encode manufacturer, plant, model year and build attributes — badly, inconsistently, and differently per manufacturer. Public reference data covers some of it. The rest gets worked out from filings, recall documents, and patterns inferred across millions of vehicles.

- We read vehicles directly over OBD-II now. Forty modules answered on a recent Hyundai, each reporting its own part number and installed software version. Nothing downstream of the VIN moves when a module is reflashed, so no registration, history report or dealer system knows what software is actually in a car.

Hiring: VIN Decode Engineer, Data Platform Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Founding Engineer (dealer platform). TypeScript, Postgres, Cloudflare Workers.
