NobodyWho | Copenhagen, Denmark | Software Engineer, ML Engineer, DevRel | Full-time | ONSITE

NobodyWho is making developer tools for running small language models in local-first applications. Our core principle is to ship the model weights along with the application, and then do efficient inference locally and offline, on any device. We run fast on Linux, MacOS, Windows, Android and iOS.

The main product is an inference library that wraps llama.cpp, written in Rust. We provide bindings for Python, Godot (the game engine), and will be releasing a Flutter plugin soon. It's all licensed under EUPL 1.2. Repo here: https://github.com/nobodywho-ooo/nobodywho/

We're hiring people who are comfortable building highly cross-platform FFI applications in Rust (with C++ dependencies), and people who are deeply familiar with language models and the open standards around them, as well as fine-tuning and evaluating models. We're also looking for a technical DevRel profile.

If any of that sounds relevant to you, feel free to email me: a>at<nobodywho.ooo

Gauge | Founding Engineer | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | Full-time

Gauge helps companies show up in more AI answers. Search traffic is shifting away from Google into AI chat, and companies are figuring out how to adapt right now. Our system delivers real-time analytics derived from millions of LLM answers, while providing an intuitive, powerful UX. We also generate optimized articles to improve our customers’ visibility, and offer an agentic chat interface over their data (think ‘Why was there a spike on 12/10?’ or ‘Which of my pages should I refresh?’).

I'm Evan, the CTO, and we're looking for engineers with strong programming fundamentals, creative problem solving skills, and a high-agency working style. You might be a good fit if you are an ex-founder, ex-founding engineer, or have worked at a Seed/Series A startup.

We primarily use Django, React, Postgres, Celery, and Clickhouse.

Contact me with your resume (and mention HN) if you're interested: evan[at]withgauge.com
