Always Further, founded by team who created https://sigstore.dev , used to secure npm, pypi, brew, and provide attestations for github releases, nvidia and google for AI model signing - we and are now building https://nono.sh agent security tooling.

We have roles open for a principal software engineer:

We're looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join as a founding engineer. You'll work directly with the founders to build the core of our agent security runtime. This is a high-autonomy role - you'll shape architecture, engage with early customers, and make the trade-offs that define the product.

You will build the layer between agentic reasoning and system execution — intercepting, classifying, and validating every agent intent against security policy before it runs. Design systems that capture and cryptographically verify every instruction and action, maintaining ground truth in environments prone to hallucination and injection. Architect fine-grained, time-scoped primitives that allow least-privilege permissions, with the ability to escalate under controlled, auditable conditions. Work with research to stress-test our security primitives at scale. Turn emerging threat vectors (prompt injection, tool misuse, privilege escalation) into adaptive defences.

https://www.alwaysfurther.ai/careers/principal-swe

Staff solutions engineer:

We're looking for a Solutions Engineer join as a founding engineer and to sit at the intersection of our open source community and our growing base of enterprise design partners. You'll spend your time contributing to Nono, helping shape its architecture, and working directly with customers who are integrating it into proof-of-concept and pilot programmes. This is a hands-on role - early on you'll be deep in the code, reviewing pull requests, triaging issues, and experimenting with deployment architectures, all while being a trusted technical voice for both community members and enterprise stakeholders. Over time, the role will evolve toward solutions architecture and customer-facing engagement, as you build the domain expertise and relationships that make you the go-to person for designing how Nono fits into complex enterprise environments.

What You'll Do" Contribute directly to the Nono open source project - code, documentation, and architectural proposals. Experiment with different deployment architectures for Nono across cloud environments, on-premise infrastructure, and hybrid setups and share your findings with others at Always Further, and often with the community, via our blogging platforms or YouTube channel. Work closely with early design partners to integrate Nono into proof-of-concept and pilot programmes, gathering feedback and translating it into engineering priorities. Produce technical content - blog posts, architecture guides, demos.

Kinelo | kinelo.com | Product Engineering (Backend+AI focus) | San Francisco | Onsite (with flexibility)

We are hiring two Product Engineers to join us in our newly opened office in SF. We're small and early and you'll help shape team culture.

Kinelo solves "context myopia": autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents don't know what they don't know, so they can't search or find the background information required to accomplish tasks accurately and effectively. The result looks like slop but it's not due to model performance, more due to workflow integration. From there, we're rapidly moving into organizing humans together with autonomous "AI coworkers" into workflows that span both. Our goal is to change how organizations are run and structured.

Our #1 hiring criteria for this position is immense software wisdom, the kind not yet encoded in the weights of an LLM. We are not looking for artisans to meticulously craft single lines of code. We're looking for software engineers excited to use the leverage that AI offers for code production to permit focus on higher order technical architecture, product requirements, and user needs.

We're looking for enough experience that indicates accumulated wisdom in shipping and maintaining reliable, scalable software, solid CS fundamentals, experience taking products from 0 to 1, and versatility.

Our current tech stack includes TypeScript, a managed container service, Postgres, and Redis. But we are adaptive and you should be too. We highly value software engineering and computer science fundamentals and experience with other languages like Go, C++, Python is valued.

Competitive salary, meaningful (~first batch of hires) equity, founder previously exited to Apple, strong fundraising history (~$10m).

Please email us at [email protected]. If you want to stand out, tell us how you think the job of a software engineer is changing. There's also a full JD here: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/kinelo/jobs/4205846009

Cologne, Germany | UMH | Product Engineer | Full-time | 55 - 85k EUR | ONSITE (part remote)

Hi, Alex and Jeremy here from UMH.

8 years ago, Jeremy was absolutely frustrated with the status quo of data infrastructure in manufacturing. Companies paid millions per year for "shitty 90s software" and are still doing that today, when there is much better software out there for open-source. So we decided that we can do this better, first founded a System Integrator, realized most of the tasks in setting up and maintaining a data infrastructure can be standardized, and decided to found the currently VC-backed UMH, which is built on open source software and is open source itself.

What we're actually building: We build and scale a real-time data platform that runs hundreds of Benthos pipelines inside a single Docker container (UMH Core), processing millions of industrial messages that control actual production processes.

Plus a local-first user interface (Management Console) where both non-technical factory workers and power-users/developers can work together. And yes, we care about UI in enterprise/industrial software.

Shepherd (Series B) | ONSITE | San Francisco, CA

At Shepherd, we're pursuing the most ambitious technical vision in commercial insurance: fully autonomous underwriting. Shepherd is an AI-native commercial insurance platform transforming how high-hazard industries get covered.

The infrastructure behind the AI boom (data centers, semiconductor fabs, renewable energy assets) has to be built and insured, but traditional carriers weren't built for this speed. We built Shepherd to solve that.

We just announced our $42M Series B last week! That brings our total funding to over $60M — led by Intact Private Capital, the investment arm of one of the largest insurers in the world. Intact is not only our lead investor but also a carrier partner, a testament to the confidence the incumbent industry has in what we're building.

(Hear from our CEO here: https://www.shepherdinsurance.com/blog/behind-our-42m-series...)

(Hear from our CTO here: https://www.shepherdinsurance.com/blog/the-road-to-autonomou...)

This year, we’re doubling our engineering team from 20 to 40. We’re looking for product-minded engineers to join us as we continue to scale! We’re looking for someone who thrives on ownership, drives results, and cares deeply about both technical excellence and customer impact.

We’re hiring various mid-level, senior-level and staff-level engineers. See some of our openings below:

Bubblehouse | Fully REMOTE | Full-Time | $200–250k | Principal Engineer

Bubblehouse is a fast-growing custom loyalty platform, tripling the revenue each year. Headquartered in NYC, the entire team is fully remote and spread across the globe. We power loyalty programs for brands like American Girl and Old Spice.

We’re expanding our lean team of extremely experienced developers. Companies are switching from other platforms thanks to the customizations and flexibility that we offer, enabled by our pace and technical excellence, which we intend to keep for years to come.

We run on Golang and use custom data storage on top of local key-value stores, colocating the storage and compute on dedicated hardware servers, and reading data directly from mmap’ed pages of the database. Ever came across HN saying that one can run Twitter on a single machine these days? We’re doing that in production.

Zero lines of React, almost zero third-party dependencies (carefully vetted), every line of JavaScript manually written with respect and understanding of the web platform. We render HTML server-side like it’s 2005.

Looking for:

1. Top to bottom understanding of the software stack, from the modern-ish web platform to CPU caches.

2. Thinking and problem solving outside the box. (We don’t _always_ go for unconventional solutions, but we do it often enough to require a person who can do justice considering the entire problem space at every step.)

Duel | Tech Lead / Staff Engineer | Bristol, UK (Hybrid)

Tech stack: Angular moving to React | Node / Bun | ECS | Mongo | Snowflake

Small team doing big things.

We've taken the team AI native, the platform will be there withing a few months. An existing v1 platform built with "boring" technologies allows us to make sure money and data remain safe whilst ensuring the frontend can be built at the speed that AI enables.

One of our team is taking everything they've been playing with for the last couple of years and stepping in to a YC principal role with our blessing. We're looking for their replacement to help continue bringing the team to the same level.

We've spent years creating the brand advocacy category, and are now seeing huge growth in all areas. We took Series A last year, are seeing massive growth, and still finding the time to have fun.

You need to back yourself. We'll expect a lot form you, but you'll be given the autonomy you need to do your best work. We focus on hiring bloody brilliant, utterly lovely people.

No recruiters. The role is being opened as we speak (I'm on holiday, spotted the who is hiring!); for now, please reach out to: joe via duel.tech.

Volunteer (unpaid) | remote anywhere | Infrastructure Engineer | Part time | https://getinstaprep.com

We'd like to feed the world through AI, here is our product concept:

https://taonexus.com/publicfiles/mar2026/render%203-2.webp

https://taonexus.com/publicfiles/mar2026/render%204.webp

We currently donate money to food banks and would like to set up end-to-end infrastructure so we could deliver free food to people's homes. Our concept is that AI does all the work (including farming) and gives away free goods and services. Where this runs into problems is the question of who's going to make and distribute food and how people are going to get it. While we haven't figured out all parts of food delivery we'd like to work on the distribution channel. We think it's very important.

What we're looking for is someone who is passionate about owning network infrastructure in people's homes and would like to help run the software stack, since at the moment AI is not talented enough to autonomously run the full infrastructure stack. This is an unpaid volunteer position.

What you would be in charge of is food distribution algorithms, equality, fairness, and the long-term future for humanity.

You can email me directly at: [email protected] - please mention relevant volunteering or organizations you support.
