Trunk is an a16z funded (25M) Series A dev tools startup, redefining software development at scale. At Trunk, our mission is to help teams create high-quality software quickly. We've helped engineerings teams at: Google X, Zillow, and Brex to understand why their builds fail, which tests are flaky, and how to ship code faster without sacrificing reliability. AI has made writing code 10x faster, but shipping is still painfully slow. The bottleneck has shifted downstream - to merge conflicts, flaky tests, inconsistent code quality, and dozens of other frictions that drain productivity and morale. Engineering teams that can stay focused on designing, implementing, and delivering software will build magical, high-quality projects - and they'll be happier doing it. We're building a CI Reliability Platform that empowers teams to land code faster and develop happier!
Our products:
* Merge Queue: Ensure your PRs keep the builds you care about green at any scale.
*Flaky Tests: Detect and eliminate Flaky Tests.
Unlimited PTO (and we all actually take PTO), competitive salary and equity packages! Please apply here: https://trunk.io/jobs
Gobii is the easiest way to deploy browser-use agents in the cloud or on-premises. We're building an open-core AI workforce platform—browser-native agents and automation tools. We have paying customers.
The entire team contributes to browser-use. We also have contributors to Apache NiFi, LiteLLM, and RA.Aid (open-source coding agent I created). Open source is core to how we build and how we think. We're backed by Open Core Ventures.
HQ is San Francisco, but much of the team is in the DC area. East Coast timezone preferred, DC area even better—but we're fully remote.
What we're building: The orchestration layer for browser-use and AI agents. Systems that navigate, reason, and execute on the real web.
Who we're looking for: You've built agentic systems that shipped to production. You have opinions about tool use, context management, and why most "agents" are just glorified prompt chains. You strongly prefer working in the open—a significant part of this role is contributing to OSS repos. We strongly prefer candidates with existing open source contributions.
Why now: We have strong traction and are expanding the team. You'd be early—with real influence over product, architecture, and how we work. High autonomy, high trust, small team of people who know what they're doing.
Comp: Cash + healthcare + modest 401k match + options. In line with SF-based VC-backed startups at pre-seed stage.
Stack: TypeScript, Python, browser automation, LLM orchestration.
Email: careers@gobii.ai (subject: "HN")
Tech stack: TypeScript | Node | React/Next.js | Postgres | Docker | K8s | LLMs
We’re building the AI-powered infrastructure layer for small-business lending. Banks and fintechs use Omni to automate document collection, financial modeling, public-record research, and ongoing borrower communication.
You’ll work on:
1. Wrangling messy PDFs into usable data (we built a major open-source extraction library: https://github.com/getomni-ai/zerox)
2. Aggregating millions of datapoints from 50+ public sources (UCCs, liens, licenses, tax records) + credit/KYC/AML data
3. Building real-time financial models that combine OCR, LLMs, and rule-based systems into predictable outputs
We’re early, you’ll have a huge impact. Email me (my name at the URL) or apply here: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/omniai/jobs/Dr0GIaE-fu...
