Senior Software Engineer, Front-end, DAFs: Craft exceptional, high-performing user interfaces for our DAF platform, using modern React 18+ and Next.js 14+ features.
If you're passionate about fintech and making a meaningful impact in the world of charitable giving, we'd love to hear from you.
Feel free to email me your LinkedIn and I'd be happy to share more details: edmundo+hn [at] charityvest [dot] org
We are MiLaboratories, the team behind Platforma.bio & MiXCR. We are building the "OS for Biology"—a platform that processes terabytes of genomic data to accelerate antibody discovery and drug development.
We are a deep-tech research lab, not a typical SaaS. We work fully on-site in Bilbao because the complexity of our problems (high-performance computing + biological nuances) requires high-bandwidth, in-person collaboration.
We are hiring for two core roles:
1. Senior Go Engineer: You will build distributed systems for high-load genomic data processing. This is not CRUD. We need someone who understands memory management, concurrency, and algorithmic efficiency at scale.
2. Bioinformatics Developer (Antibody Discovery): You will work on the scientific core, developing blocks for NGS data analysis and antibody structure prediction. You should be fluent in both code and biology.
The Offer:
Comp: Top-tier EU salaries (~€90k - €120k).
Tax Advantage: Bizkaia has independent tax autonomy. You qualify for the "Special Impatriate Regime" (30% salary tax exemption + expense deductions).
The Reality: Your effective tax rate drops to ~15-20%, yielding a significantly higher net income than London or Berlin.
Stock: We grant ESOP and treat equity as a life-changing wealth vehicle, not a "nice to have."
Relocation: Comprehensive "Soft Landing" package (Visa, temporary housing, school search).
Location: Bilbao is a hidden gem—ocean, mountains, and high quality of life with a low cost of living.
Process: No HR screening. You will talk directly to the engineering team.
Email me (I am the CEO): stanp@milaboratories.com. Please mention "HN" in the subject and include your GitHub.

We’re building an AI system for analysts and scientists, based on a fundamentally new approach to reasoning and knowledge representation. Our approach differs from LLMs in that we compose algorithms symbolically to represent complex knowledge, and perform probabilistic computations. This enables the AI-driven application of statistical models to different problems, while providing the user with a verifiable reasoning path, and an assessment of the uncertainty in each answer. We are developing applications for analysis and research in domains such as Finance, Strategy Consulting, Engineering, Material Sciences, and more.
This is an opportunity for senior engineers, product managers and operational leaders to join us, and contribute to shaping a deep-tech product from its earliest stage.
We’re hiring for the following openings:
* Product Software Engineering - Quantitative Modeling
* Bayesian Software Engineer
* Program Synthesis Engineer
* Senior Product Manager
* Technical Project Manager
* Finance Manager - Corporate & Accounting

Blackbird builds web + mobile apps for startups and innovative companies. We work on interesting, greenfield projects, and rely on small, veteran teams who have lots of autonomy. Everyone is a remote contractor, and our work culture is low-drama and highly collaborative. No pointless meetings, no bureaucracy, no egos and lots of time spent building things.
We’re looking for senior full stack engineers / CTO consultants / data scientists. We value engineers who are strong technically as well as great communicators. We work with lots of freelancers who appreciate the steady, interesting work.
Our typical stack is TypeScript, React, Postgres, and AWS although it will vary project to project.
If you enjoy moving fast, working with great engineers, and building something from the ground up, you’ll fit right in.

Kyber is an open-source SDK and platform to control remote machines, from Remote Desktop to Robots Teleoperation/Teleobservation.
Kyber is a multi-stream and multi-actuator transport in extremely-low latency, over Quic; it encloses the server, the client and the protocol.
One could use Kyber to control robots, drones, desktop, servers in the cloud or just remote rendering of interactive 3D programs. Kyber is done for Remote RealTime, where every millisecond matters.
Kyber is developed by engineers from the VLC and FFmpeg community, and we code in Rust, in C and in assembly. We have some development in Go too.
We're a quite technical team, but cool to work with.

Hey HN! I'm Alexander, one of the founders of Hatchet. Hatchet is an open-source platform for running background jobs at scale.
We're hiring engineers who are excited to build the next class of engineering primitives, starting with queues, background tasks and durable execution. We started in early 2024 after launching our distributed task queue (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39643136).
Hatchet is currently used by thousands of engineers for all kinds of workloads: log ingestion pipelines, code review agents, video encoding, GPU scheduling, etc. Our target customer is fast-growing startups who have a strong need for background jobs system. These days, that tends to be AI companies, though we're general-purpose and not exclusively targeted for AI workloads.
Stack: Postgres, Go, Typescript, React, Kubernetes

Anyways, the concept looks cool, but I'm failing to see a real value add to something like Temporal. What is it?
Regarding Temporal, our goal is to create the best developer experience possible, and we started Hatchet because we felt that Temporal misses the mark (I used Temporal for years before starting Hatchet).
The primary difference is that we're not solely focused on durable workflows, we're a general-purpose background jobs platform which offers durable workflows as a feature. In our view there are a set of equally important primitives: tasks, events, streaming/pubsub, concurrency, priority, rate limiting, scheduling, and yes, durable workflows.
Tasks being the entrypoint to the platform, rather than immediately dealing with the overhead of durable workflows, generally makes Hatchet easier to adopt for engineering teams. I wrote a little more about how task queues relate to durable execution here: https://hatchet.run/blog/durable-execution
We've also invested quite heavily in platform features like logging, observability, alerting, and our UI which either aren't offered or are underdeveloped in Temporal.
But ultimately I'd encourage people to give both a try - we're both MIT licensed and can easily be run locally.
Looks interesting.
We are in the process of looking for some alternatives to temporal/prefect. Would you mind sharing your email so I can send a few questions along with my cofounder?
