I've sent in an application for the product engineer role. I did not however see a role labeled backend engineer. Would I be considered for both openings by applying to the product engineer role? Thank you!
timgl 1/4/2026||
Yes, just mention it in your first call :)

Hi, Can I ask why you don't have Armenia in your countries list on the application form? I would like to apply.
timgl 1/4/2026||
Apply anyway! There's a chance we can't hire there for legal reasons, but it's probably because we haven't hired anyone from there yet.

Microsoft Research is hiring Senior MLE's in Cambridge, MA (ONSITE).

Responsibilities include the training of generative models and anything that contributes to the betterment of their capabilities -- profiling / optimizing their throughput, scaling training runs, tuning of hyperparameters / data mixes, etc. If it makes the model better, it's fair game!

Depending on the project, you will likely be involved in some combination of AR model training, diffusion model training, midtraining, post-training, multimodal training, etc.

As you can likely surmise, we're looking for folks who are flexible and comfortable wearing many hats. If this sounds like you and you're interested in working in a research environment, consider applying!

- A strong track record in high-scale backend development

- Experience with cloud infrastructure

SpruceID (YC W21) | REMOTE (US-Based Preferred) | Full-Time | spruceid.com

Spruce lets users control their data across the web. Instead of users logging into platforms, we believe platforms should request to access data vaults controlled by users.

The demand for trusted digital ID is accelerating as AI deepfakes begin to destroy most of the ways we use to verify identity today. How private or secure is it to hold your driver's license or passport up to a webcam to get a bank account? Was it ever private or secure? Stable diffusion can break so much of this already. Society will need trusted digital IDs and credentials. Our mission is to allow them to be controlled by individuals, with safeguards to prevent descents into surveillance states and checkpoint societies.

We are the main implementers of category-defining initiatives such as the digital ID program for the California DMV, and the verifiable digital credentials program in Utah. We are private sector participants in NIST's National Cyber Security of Excellence initiative for privacy-preserving digital ID.

We are hiring skilled engineers who care about making a real impact in improving public services, digital autonomy, and user privacy for the world. We work closely with public sector agencies, and have high regard for public servants. We have a strong engineering and customer-oriented culture, and are not simply a SaaS product or AI wrapper. Our roles are not for the faint of heart: you will be expected to work hard and learn a lot in this role.

Our engineers are ambitious to get outcomes for our customers and their constituents. On any given day, they may write great Rust/C#/TypeScript, deal with mainframe dumps, read policy documents, respond to technical RFIs/RFPs, manage on-prem environments, implement new NFC + Bluetooth protocols in Swift/Kotlin, create CI/CD processes that enforce W3C accessibility guidelines and i18n requirements, rewrite lost specs from disassembled binaries, figure out stablecoin payments, and design new protections for public key infrastructure. It is a team effort, and people with T-shirt shaped skills are able to collaborate and learn a ton from each other every day.

We are interested in candidates who want to be proud of the meaningful impact they make for society, even if it takes time to get right. This is not the right job for someone who wants to "join a cool new AI startup" that implodes or exits in under a year.

Hey jberto,

  Quick question - is this role open to fully remote within the US, or is there a hybrid expectation for NYC?

  I've been building location-based discovery apps (React Native + Supabase + PostGIS) with recommendation-style features - ranking algorithms, user preference vectors, and content scoring systems. Currently shipping a consumer app that does personalized place discovery based on user taste profiles.

  Would love to chat if there's flexibility on the seniority level or if the team has adjacent roles opening up.
