Trunk is an a16z funded dev tools startup, redefining software development at scale. We aim to flatten the lost productivity curve that software projects suffer as they grow in scale and complexity. When a majority of your engineer's time is not spent on actual engineering, when the tax paid to land a new Pull Request is greater than the time to write the code - it's time for a new approach.
In 2022, we raised a $25M Series A led by Initialized Capital (Garry Tan) and a16z (Peter Levine), with investments from Haystack Ventures, Garage VC, Tom Preston Warner (Founder/CEO of GitHub), Geoff Schmidt (Founder/CEO Apollo GraphQL), Nicolas Dessaigne (Founder/CEO Algolia), and Oleg Rognysky (Founder/CEO Peopl.ai).
Our tech stack Frontend: Typescript, React, Redux, Next.js Backend: Typescript, Node, AWS, CDK, k8s, gRPC Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Kiali, Jaeger CLI/Daemon/LSP: C++20, Bazel VSCode Extension: Typescript CI/CD: GitHub Actions General: GitHub, Slack, Linear, Slite

Saildrone | Multiple Roles | Onsite/Remote (US Only) | SF Bay Area (Alameda) | Full-Time | https://www.saildrone.com/
Saildrone is the world's leading collector of ocean related in situ data via uncrewed vehicle, above and below the sea surface. We work with governments, civic agencies, foundations, universities, and private companies around the globe to drive better information about our oceans and seas - be it sailing drones into the eye of hurricanes to obtain new scientific storm data, mapping out the ocean floor, collecting new CO2 data in hard-to-reach areas, counting biomass to establish fishing quotas, or detecting and stopping illegal fishing and drug trafficking.
Maybe you saw that we hucked a drone into a category 4 hurricane[1] last fall or again this year [2]. Or maybe that we recently raised a $100M series C[3]. Or maybe you didn't see any of that, but you're still intrigued by the idea of autonomous, long endurance sailboats that help us better understand our planet.
Whatever the case, we're hiring for a breadth of different positions across our organization. In software, we're hiring for Firmware, Embedded, DevOps, and Platform Engineers. Stacks vary from team to team, but we're looking primarily for folks with backgrounds in C++, Python, and/or JavaScript (Node, TypeScript, React). We're remote-friendly for certain positions, though require folks to be onsite for others.
In addition to software engineers, we're also hiring for a bunch of other positions across the company in production/manufacturing, hardware engineering, and more!

Oil Shell | C++ / Python Language Engineer | Remote (e.g. Canada, Europe), Flexible, Open Source | https://oilshell.org
I have a slightly unusual job funded by a grant under https://nlnet.nl ! Everything is flexible -- think of it as an open source project where you happen to get paid.
We started in June, and there are currently 2 part-time contributors. We can use more help!
The job is to work on a shell interpreter in C++/Python with a TINY and cool garbage-collected runtime. Depending on your interest, you can work on:
(1) Data-structure heavy, performance-sensitive C++ code -- e.g. mark bitmaps for the GC, small value optimization, lazy sweeping, hash tables, and more. We have an objective goal that enables creativity: make the shell as fast as bash. Currently it's 1.6x slower on a long batch workload.
This runtime will let us add real data structures and JSON to a compatible shell! ( http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2021/01/why-a-new-shell.html )
(2) Semi-automatically translating code from typed Python to C++. This can be simple (adding MyPy types) or involved (compiling Python's yield to state machines)
(3) Benchmarks, builds, testing -- I like automating everything, and shell works great here :)
We've made great progress lately -- here's a screencast of our ~6000 line GC runtime working on real code (note debug output from the GC):
https://asciinema.org/a/547312?t=30 (this worked as of 11 days ago, detailed blog post upcoming)
Some background: A Garbage-Collected Heap in C++, Shaped Like Typed Python
https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2022/05/gc-heap.html (and more on the blog)
Everything about the project is open, so please take a look and contact me at andy@oilshell.org if interested. We can chat online or do a video call (I'm based in the USA). We can also arrange a code walkthrough or PAID "trial period". We want people who will have fun working on these problems.
Compensation: First grant was for 50K euros, and a potential second grant would be for 50K, to be split up among contributors.
https://github.com/oilshell/oil/wiki/Where-Contributors-Have... -- We now have a fast and flexible Ninja build, as well as a comprehensive CI that keeps the master branch green

allocortech | Software or Electrical Engineer | Waynesboro, VA | Prefer Local | https://www.allocor.tech/about/work-with-us/
allocortech is a small company (14 people) building control electronics for, typically, unmanned electric aircraft and watercraft. Think motor controllers, battery management systems, and communication hubs. We do both commercial off the shelf sales and custom designs on request; which ultimately means that there is a lot of variety in the month to month projects.
Our vision is to have qualified hardware devices that our customers are free to build their software and vehicles on top of. We provide the initial know-how for robust, redundant, safety critical, and certified software development and have a framework they can leverage if they choose to do so. Ideally this means less re-inventing the wheel for them and more chance of their success.
We're searching for
* A software engineer competent in C and/or C++ with big bonus points for experience in writing device drivers and other low level hardware abstraction layers.
* An electrical engineer to help us do schematic capture and board layout. Bonus points if you've worked with or better: 6+ layer boards, 4/4mil rules, moderate pitch BGA (0.65mm), and have done signal integrity (less than 1GHz) or power domain analysis work.
We're hardware focused and haven't figured out a way to allow 100% remote; but if you come with ideas on how to make it work, we can figure something out. Otherwise we're happy to pay relocation costs and allow 50/50 time splits.
$80~150k full time + options based on experience. We deal with ITAR, so unfortunately US residents, green card holders, asylee or refugees only.

## About Us
Symmetry Investments is a post startup multi-billion alternative asset management company with 250+ people across multiple time zones and locations.
Our core technology team has been remote-first for some time, and the whole company is following suit, accelerated by the pandemic.
We are five years into a period of transformation from what was initially a fairly standard enterprise finance technology approach to something new that recognises the importance of both the humane and the technical for discretionary portfolio management and for the business of running an alternative investment manager. [Amaury Sechet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhR4PSExnqk) and [Atila Neves](https://dlang.org/blog/2019/10/15/my-vision-of-ds-future/) have been working with us as long-term consultants and we have many other talented people with lower public profiles.
It's not easy to integrate practitioners who may spend most of their day programming, but are oriented towards solving business problems, with developers who are specialists in programming. To achieve this, we wrote a little functional DSL that's now in production. Type inference of returns and parameters using inequality constraints is in a feature branch and there is plenty more to do on the language itself as well as the ecosystem around it. SIL can compile and call C++, D, and C# at runtime and interoperate with Python and R. What might be a project in itself elsewhere can be just a set of functions in Symmetry Integration Language.
The language is written in D and we have a close involvement with the D Foundation and community, hosting DConf in London. So we are looking for outstanding native code developers who would like to write D as well as people to work with practitioners writing Symmetry Integration Language. Also looking for people to write documentation and work on the build.
It's quite a creative place where we encourage a degree of courage amidst practical constraints, and we are open to doing things a different way if it's commercially sound and in the interests of our investors.
We look for virtues and capabilities over only experience and credentials although those things aren't a disadvantage. Do not let a lack of credentials or qualifications prevent you from applying. We've recently hired experts with C++, Common Lisp, D, Haxe, Haskell, Julia and Perl backgrounds, and are happy to bring them up to speed with the tools we use.
Compensation is currently not quite at Netflix standards but is generous to very generous over time by broad technology industry standards. We recognise and reward technical accomplishment and have a very flat structure - don't be surprised if our founder and Chief Investment Officer starts asking you questions about your work.
