Prophet Town LLC | Various Software Engineering Roles | US – Remote and Hybrid | English fluency required | Full-time | $140K-$264K annual total comp (multiple)

We are a people-first, boutique tech agency creating on-demand teams and software solutions for long-standing clients. These clients trust us to practice engineering excellence as though we were members of their own staff. Our leadership team is ex-Fortune 100 with software engineering backgrounds: we’re still coding. Notable recent projects include a gigantic ERP migration for Anduril, and working with Surge Labs to help develop some of the frontier LLM models from the big guys themselves (yes, seriously). This is a remote-first agency, but some projects involve onsite work.

I’m the founder and CEO, and I’m trying to do what I call “enlightened business”. I take responsibility for both staff and clients, and I look for people who approach their work with a similar sense of ownership.

We continue the hiring push we were running last month too: our current work would especially benefit from from ai-forward senior engineering expertise that can design RL benchmarks, red-team model outputs, and create rubrics to evaluate and enhance the agentic coding capabilities of various frontier models. We received 216 applications in our August posting, and issued offers to approximately 10 (still following up with a few).

Applicants must meet a high bar - I intend to have a personal relationship with every hire. In return you’ll get:

  * Flexibility and a low-bureaucracy environment

  * Clients that won’t treat the vendor like “the B Team”

  * The chance to act as a code architect, not just implement tickets

  * Exposure to a wide variety of industries and modern     challenges

  * Me as your personal champion and advocate

Feel free to submit, even if you already did in the past.

Current roles available:

Back-end, Front-end, and Full-Stack Software Engineers, Tiers 3 and 4 (Typescript/Javascript, React, NextJS; Ruby on Rails; Python; DevOps, and third-party API integrations)

Tier 3 roles are typically 5-10 years experience with $140-$180K total comp. Tier 4 roles are 11-20 years experience, $210-$264K total comp. Higher tiers exist, and we always welcome exceptional applications.

Role: UX/UI Designer (BAY AREA, CA - HYBRID) 1099 CONTRACT APPLY: https://vuetech.sh/careers

Ongoing contract across several B2B products on one design system. First pass is a fixed-price flows-and-kit package, then hourly as each product grows. Not a full-time seat.

Engagement: Ongoing 1099 contract. Milestone prices are set against a frozen spec. This is not a full-time seat.

First package: A fixed-price flows-and-kit package, about three weeks. After that, $50–75/hr as each product grows.

Location: SF Bay Area, hybrid, with in-person working sessions for kickoff and reviews.

Start: Immediately after selection.

Level: Mid-level welcome. You work directly with the founding CTO. Early sessions are for breaking the product down together. After that, scope is deliverable by deliverable.

ABOUT THE STUDIO: We are a small Bay Area product studio. Several products, one stack, one visual language. You own the UX with us: who the user is, what they are trying to finish, what belongs on each screen, and what happens when it fails. Later products reuse the same tokens, components, and patterns so customers and our engineers are not learning a new UI every time.

The products are B2B web apps: dashboards, media and content libraries, status views, and auth and access-gate states. The first product in the queue is a digital signage CMS. Store owners upload content, build playlists, pair outdoor Android screens from a phone, and see what is playing. The app is a mobile-first PWA. The screen on the sidewalk has its own states: setup QR, downloading, no content, and error.

You take a real part in that breakdown. Bring a point of view on structure, priority, and what to cut. Sit with us and map the flows before the high-fidelity screens exist. When a familiar admin layout is the wrong job for the task, say so and show the alternative.

The screens still have to ship. We start from a Tailwind UI / shadcn component kit. Buttons, inputs, tables, cards, and dialogs stay that anatomy, restyled with our brand: color, type, radius, and density. Page structure, hierarchy, and flow are yours. Every screen is composed from those components, with tokens that map to our Tailwind theme, so the frontend team builds from the system.

Paradromics | Embedded Software Engineer | Austin, TX or Oakland, CA | Onsite | Full-time

Paradromics is building a high bandwidth brain-machine interface for clinical use. The implant we built is restoring function to patients by streaming out neural data from specific brain regions in real time, which we convert to e.g. speech using machine learning. Check out our recent article in the NYT: https://archive.ph/C6CRb .

We're looking for help in further developing and hardening our embedded Linux components, which work in tandem with FPGAs and our custom ASICs to read out neural data. Some of the ongoing efforts are: HIL testing on real devices, integrating new sensor ASICs, maintaining our Yocto build system, exploratory work on prototypes, improving our clinical UX, and improving the core code that receives and massages data. The code is largely written in Rust with a little Typescript, (and bash, and bitbake recipes, etc).

You'll be expected to have experience constructing reliable and understandable software in Linux, and some level of experience in building and interacting with embedded hardware. Rust experience is ideal but not necessary. We're not looking for a specific number of YoE, but for motivated and hungry engineers who want to push the frontier of brain-machine interfaces.

Prior Labs | Berlin, Freiburg, NYC | ONSITE | Full-time | Technical PM, ML Infra, Research Scientist/Engineer, Backend, Full Stack

We build foundation models for tabular data. Deep learning transformed text and images but mostly skipped tables, which are still the data behind most clinical trials, financial models and scientific experiments. The reason is structural: no natural sequence, no spatial structure, no shared vocabulary across datasets, so the architectures and scaling laws behind LLMs don't transfer.

Our approach: pre-train a transformer on millions of synthetic datasets sampled from causal-structure priors. The whole dataset goes in as context, predictions come out in one forward pass. No per-dataset training, no hyperparameter tuning, seconds instead of hours. TabPFN v2 was published in Nature and set a new state of the art; TabPFN-3 scales to 10M rows. 4M+ downloads, 8k+ GitHub stars, in production from liquid biopsy to rail maintenance. Code: https://github.com/PriorLabs/TabPFN

Since July we're an independent lab inside SAP, with more than EUR 1B committed over four years. Models stay open, research stays public, same team and offices.

Roles (most can sit in any of the three offices):

- Technical Product Manager, Integrations: take every model release live across SAP (AI Core to SAP Analytics Cloud), the cloud marketplaces and customer environments, and help decide which channels we build next. Reports to me, close to the code.

- ML Engineer, Infrastructure: own multi-cluster GPU infra (Slurm on GCP today, multi-provider next), training performance and the tooling layer. We spend tens of millions per year on compute; you own that budget.

- Research Scientist, Foundation Model: drive the model agenda - novel architectures, scaling from 10K to 1M+ samples, multimodal and causal directions. PhD plus top-venue publications, or equivalent.

- Research Engineer, Foundation Model: same agenda from the engineering side. You design experiments, write the training and eval infra, and co-author the papers.

- ML Engineer, Backend: design and scale the backend that serves and finetunes the models. Python/FastAPI, Terraform, K8s.

- Full Stack Engineer, ML Platform: build the product end to end. TypeScript + Python, React/FastAPI/Postgres.

Also hiring: Applied Scientist, Forward Deployed ML Engineer, Research Scientist (Foundational Data Science), PhD research interns, plus GTM and ops roles.

40+ people with backgrounds from Google, DeepMind, Jane Street, Goldman, G-Research, CERN. Led by Frank Hutter, advised by Bernhard Schölkopf and Yann LeCun. Comp competitive with top AI labs.

meetyogi.com | Senior Software Engineer, Backend / Product | $180-220k | Hybrid NYC | Series A | 35 headcount, ~10 in engineering

Yogi aggregates and analyzes millions of customer feedback data points from online retailer reviews, social, cx ticketing systems, etc to help companies make better decisions about their products and markets. We operate mostly in CPG, where our customers are household brands you'd recognize, both enterprise and up-and-coming.

--

Everyone is kind and engaged with work at Yogi. It's a nice vibe.

Our stack is pretty standard SaaS - python (fastapi, prefect), postgres/clickhouse, react/typescript web app. The app experience is what you'd expect from a data analytics platform - charting and agentic workflows that generate insights from the data.

In terms of the moment, we're reaching the bounds of some early domain assumptions, while also figuring out how to expand into new ones. On the code front, broadly speaking we're improving quality and process each quarter by an order of magnitude. AI has been a boon for us. (I've personally invested a lot in our dev tooling to make code output high quality and deterministic)

There's a lot of greenfield opportunity and also scale challenges to be solved on existing tech. No shortage of things to do, ownership is as much as you want to take on.

--

Interview process is a chit chat with our CTO, an onsite with a practical coding exercise (not crazy i promise), a system design conversation, and behavioral interview.

Email me at jon.young(at)meetyogi.com or connect w me on linkedin /joncyoungii if you want to learn more. Happy to answer any questions you have honestly and refer you if it makes sense on both ends
