We're hiring an AI Engineer to build and ship production AI systems - not research prototypes. Startup experience is a must: we want someone who has shipped fast in a small team, owned systems end-to-end, and is comfortable with ambiguity. Big-company-only resumes won't be a fit.
You will own: - RAG pipelines and agentic workflows (end-to-end accuracy) - GPU-optimized model deployment (Trident-style architecture) - Production MLOps: distillation, fine-tuning, training orchestration - Data modeling for AI persona capabilities - The infra around it: Docker, CI/CD, logging, monitoring, observability
You should have: - 3-12 years shipping AI/ML in production (notebooks do not count) - Time at a startup or scale-up where you owned what you built - Strong Python; bonus for C++/Java/C# in performance-critical paths - Hands-on with RAG, MLOps tooling, and GPU deployment at scale
W2 full-time. Must be authorized to work in the US. No remote, no C2C.
Apply: saikumar@engineeringsquare.us (subject: "AI Engineer - [Your Name]")

I have dyslexia. I was one of the lucky ones. Diagnosed at eight, I got accommodations and support before things spiraled. Most kids aren't so lucky. The path from initial concern to diagnosis can take years and cost families upward of $5,000. For many, it never comes at all. In one study, 50% of prisoners were found to be dyslexic, with 80% functionally illiterate.
Behind every missed diagnosis is a kid who gets told they're lazy, when the reality is no one ever gave them the right test.
Marker Learning is building an AI-enhanced assessment platform that makes identifying learning differences faster, cheaper, and more equitable, especially for multilingual students who are routinely misidentified or overlooked. Imagine if every kid could be screened for learning differences as easily as they're screened for vision. That's what we're building.
This isn't a chatbot or a homework helper. We're a Series B company backed by Reach Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Primary, running a multi-million-dollar longitudinal study spanning K–12 and developing the psychometric engine behind it. We need engineers who are excited by that.
We're hiring a hands-on full-stack engineer (React, Node.js, TypeScript) to help build and scale the platform: adaptive testing infrastructure, AI-powered scoring scoring and data pipelines, and the systems that maintain clinical rigor at scale. High autonomy, lightweight process, fast-paced. 8–10+ years, ideally with 0-to-1 or early-stage experience. You'll work directly with psychometrics, product, and data science, and the engineering decisions you make now will define the platform for years.
Reach out directly with your gh, linkedin, and resume and why you want this position to lucie@markerlearning.com. Please specify your location, if you are interested in full time, contract or open to both. Make the subject "Founding Engineer Application (I am not a bot)".
My name is AJ Forsythe and I'm the Founder / Chief Chicken Tender at Coop! We're an Austin TX based company on a mission to build the world’s largest decentralized food production network, starting with AI powered chicken Coops. We’ve been in the market for about 18 months and our customers are in 48 states and will generate about >10M eggs this year. It's insanely fun to work on and we have a shot at building a huge business in the connected urban farming space. If you’re big into computer vision, consumer products that are fun, and an awesome team we would love to chat. The Coop has an automatic door + cameras doing computer vision work (predator detection, egg alerts, remote health monitoring, etc). It's a super exciting time and are seeing directional product market fit which I'm thrilled about. Seriously go check out our website, it's a super fun + amazing product.
We’re a tight-knit team of 5 people with 15+ years of experience working together. We’ve been through YC, started and scaled multinational million-dollar businesses together, taking them from idea to acquisition by a Fortune 50 company. We’re gritty and passionate without taking ourselves too seriously - and we’re here to build something really exciting that helps people reconnect with their food and the planet. We're VC backed (call it $5M) by some of the world's best investors but we are a scrappy small team that moves fast.
We have an absolutely fantastic CTO Ryan that I'm looking for his / our right hand person to work alongside with. I think the term full stack is overused but that's closest to what we're looking for. Also this really isn’t a traditional Eng role, I look at it as we’re a small growing team and you would be one of us working on a ton a cool projects on day 1. Also, we LOVE working with founders so if you've started a company before that's epic.
Oh also, I have a fun project where I want to make a water gun turret that uses our cameras to detect predators and allows you to aim and blast them. If you're into hacking robotics and gimbals etc, please reach out.
You can also reach out to me directly at: aj[at]coop.farm - Just email me your LinkedIn / GitHub / portfolio + why you think you'll be an awesome fit and I'll respond. Please don’t use GPT too much. This is my 3rd company (2 have exited) and I want to build the super solid core team and you might be the perfect fit for us and vice versa.
Bwok Bwok! AJ
+ QA: We're looking for a QA engineer deeply familiar with the software lifecycle in the age of agentic coding. You'd have a lot of responsibility, but also the opportunity to define what solid QA looks like at Ontix.
+ Azure Cloud Engineer: We're a mostly-AWS shop, but we have a few potential customers that are deeply entrenched in the Azure ecosystem, including a migration from SharePoint to Fabric + OneLake. You'd be leading the charge on that.
+ Infosec + Automated Vulnerability Scanning: If you browse new CVEs over breakfast, we want to talk to you. There's a huge demand among our current customers for continuous vulnerability scanning, both in the codebase and on the deployed edge. We have some test platforms, but would love a more robust solution we can market.
+ Full-Stack WordPress Developer: Our sister company is a bit old school still: If you can parachute in to a PHP + Vue 2/3 + WordPress + AWS EC2 environment, we would love to pass on your number to them.
We're looking to grow quickly as our client base expands. Healthcare, vision, and 401(k) for FTEs. If you're interested in any of these roles, or would like more information in general about us, please visit https://ontix.io or email l33t@ontix.io with a few sentences describing your experience, interest, and where you're located.

We're a small London team, 2+ years in, building a real-time consumer platform powered by AI in a category that doesn't exist yet, going after a problem worth solving. Free for users, brand-funded on the commercial side. Working iOS prototype, validated UX, advisory board across enterprise tech and behavioural science, alpha launches lined up for later in 2026.
The founding tech team is already in place across iOS, Flutter, AI/ML, and product design, with backgrounds across agentic AI, consumer fintech, and mobile at scale. The seat we're hiring for is the founding backend / full-stack engineer who'll own the architecture. APIs, data layer, real-time systems, cloud infrastructure. You'll design it from scratch alongside the rest of the team, built for consumer scale from day one.
What we're looking for:
- Built and scaled backends for consumer products under real load. Social, marketplace, or community experience a strong plus.
- Fluent in Python, Go, Node, or similar. Strong opinions on API design, microservices, and data modelling.
- Comfortable with event-driven architectures, real-time systems, and AWS or GCP at production scale.
- Bonus: ad-serving infrastructure, partner APIs, rewards/loyalty systems.
- UK-based already (no net-new visa sponsorship for this role), with us in our London office most days. We're a small team that works best in the room together.
We're vague on the concept for stealth reasons. Happy to take you through our prototype on a call.
