Modern hardware supply chains run on spreadsheets, email, and PDFs. It's like fax woke up in 2025. We're fixing this with an AI-first procurement platform for aerospace, defense, and nuclear manufacturing.
Our customers: Machina Labs, Astranis, K2 Space, Castelion, Antares, and more. They use us to manage suppliers, track $M+ in orders, automate RFQs, and stay ITAR-compliant. Every day of production delay costs $50k+—our platform keeps them moving.
The role: Own features end-to-end, build ERP integrations that sync POs and manufacturing data, real-time order tracking dashboards, and a user experience that people LOVE. Work directly with customers whose supply chains depend on what you ship.
Stack: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Hasura (GraphQL), PostgreSQL, Trigger.dev, AWS GovCloud, Pulumi, Elbow grease.
You: 5+ years shipping production systems, strong full-stack or frontend generalist who moves fast, thrive on customer feedback and direct impact, bonus: ERP integrations, B2B SaaS, or regulated industries
Traction: 5x'd customer count last year, $5M funding to date, landing massive defense/space logos. Small team shipping incredibly fast—you'll work directly with our founders (Isaac and myself).

Not a job. I’m exploring alignment with a potential partner.
I’m a systems builder (CS/infra founder; shut down my last startup) who spent the past two years going deep on foundational math that most engineers (and I guess many mathematicians) tend to ignore, largely at an nLab level, because standard abstractions stop composing.
I’m working toward a small, private apply-focus lab to bridge native CS intuition (computation, scale, systems) with structural, information-theoretic mathematics. The focus is composability, learning, universality, and complexity, with the intent to build, not publish.
The approach is unconventional, but intentional: staying close to real systems while reworking foundations when existing methods stop composing.
Looking for a self-funded generalist comfortable crossing CS, math, and theory that's interested in structure, information, ethics, and long-horizon work.
Hi all, I’m Yuriy, founder of Puma.tech. Previously worked as software engineer & developer advocate at Cloudant (YC S08, Acq. by IBM), Meteor (YC S11), Parse (YC S11, Facebook/Meta), and explored AI/ML (computer vision for self-driving cars).
We have two products:
1. Puma Browser (iOS & Android) – browser with built in LLMs & Wallets. Private by design.
2. PumaAI app for Mac – ChatGPT/Atlas, but with ability to pick different model providers and fall-back to local-first ones for data privacy.
Open Roles: Eng (iOS/MacOS, Android, Ai/ML, Browser Extensions), Based Social Media Intern; Internships: Eng, Design, Growth
We’ve raised a few rounds from some of the best builders in crypto and ai:
Protocol Labs (YC S14), Chris Larsen (Ripple), Anatoly Yakovenko (Solana), Illia Polosukhin (NEAR Protocol), Sridhar Ramaswamy (Snowflake CEO, Neeva, Greylock), Jason Warner (poolside.ai, ex-GitHub CTO), Don Ho (Orange DAO, Quantstamp W18), Evil Rabbit (Vercel), John Phamous (SF Compute) and other amazing builders.
How to Apply: email careers+hn [at] puma.tech with your GitHub, a note on what you're most proud of building and what you'd like to build next.
Thank you!

Our mission is to automate learning. We're building the AI stack for education—combining knowledge graphs, agents, and apps so enterprises can build curricula and learning products at scale. We bootstrapped to profitability (now VC-backed), won #1 (of 1,500) in the Vercel AI Accelerator, and have powered 200MM+ assessments for credentialing organizations and publishers across aviation, healthcare, and more. If you want to shape how tens of millions of professionals learn and upskill in the AI era, this might be the right startup for you.
# Our stack is awesome: Vercel, Supabase, Neo4j, Langchain, Expo
# Our roles are open:
-Founding Technical Product Managers: (1) AI Platform; (2) Apps (Web/Mobile/MCP)
-Agent Engineer/Architects: Work on EdFlow (Agent Builder) and the new LCP (Learning Context Protocol) standard
-Founding Product Designer: Help redefine AI as the new UI
-Staff/Senior Engineers: Build tools for builders: LearnKit (App Builder), EdWrite (Knowledge Graph CMS), Item Studio (AI Artifact Lifecycle), Neuron (SDK)
# Why Memorang? - You thrive when given autonomy to solve hard problems with global impact - You genuinely care about reshaping the way people learn - You love building with the latest open source and AI tools
