krea.ai | Senior Backend Engineer | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | https://www.krea.ai

krea does AI research & builds AI tools for image generation, video generation, node-based workflows, LoRA training, and more. Small, mostly in-person team with a view of Alcatraz from the office window. Our users range from hobbyists all the way to professional designers at Apple or architects at firms behind The World Trade Center or Burj Khalifa.

We're looking for senior backend engineers. You'd work across our SvelteKit app (Postgres, Redis, Docker, ClickHouse), Python ML inference on GPU clusters, and k8s clusters across multiple cloud and GPU providers.

Some recent projects:

- building canary deploys with cookie-sticky traffic splitting - implementing durable execution for long-running workflows - designing our public API with OpenAPI docs auto-generated from Zod schemas - implementing enterprise-grade authentication, authorization, and permissions - optimizing ML inference for our hosted image generation models

We care way more about first-principles and core engineering skills rather than specific shenanigans around programming languages or particular tooling—knowing a lot about old UNIX principles is a plus though.

You should be comfortable owning things end-to-end. Experience with GPU infra is a plus. Many of us have some kind of creative background, it helps when building tools for creatives but is not a requirement by any means.

To apply, email d+hn@krea.ai (use the +hn suffix to make sure your email is prioritized!)

FusionAuth | Senior Java Engineer, Technical Support Engineer, Account Executive , Solutions Engineer | Varies between REMOTE (in USA, also in Europe but only for the account exec/solutions engineer positions) and ONSITE in Denver, CO, USA, details in each job desc | Salary ranges listed on job req, but for the Senior Java Engineer it is 140k-180k

At FusionAuth, our mission is to make authentication and authorization simple and secure for every developer building web and mobile applications. We want devs to stop worrying about auth and focus on building something awesome. We also recently acquired a fine-grained authorization company ( https://fusionauth.io/blog/fusionauth-acquires-permify ) and are going to be building in that area as well.

There are a lot of companies in the auth space, but we feel like we have something special:

* a unique deployment model (self-host on-prem or in your cloud or run in our cloud)

* A well designed API first approach; one customer compared our APIs to petrichor

* a mature product (the code base is nine+ years old and we've found and fixed a lot of the sharp edges around core login use cases; but don't worry, there are plenty more features to add)

* our CTO is the founder and still writes code

* a full featured free-as-in-beer version which makes the sales cycle easier; prospects often come in having prototyped an integration already

Our core software is commercial. We open source much of our supporting infrastructure. Technologies and standards that you will work with: modern Java, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, MySQL, OAuth, SAML, OIDC.

Temper | Founding Engineer | SF (In-Person) | $150K–$250K + Equity | https://ontemper.com

Every time two companies in the physical economy need to exchange data, someone builds a custom integration by hand. Analysts, engineers, QA. All manual. Every time. Google "EDI" if you haven't. It's wild.

We built AI agents that do the whole thing: gather requirements in plain English, write the integration code, test it, deploy it, fix it when it breaks.

We have paying enterprise customers and more demand than we can keep up with.

You'd be the first engineering hire. Agent orchestration, durable execution runtime, self-healing infra, most of the important architectural decisions haven't been made yet.

The founders built a logistics startup from pre-seed to 400+ people. We've been dealing with broken integrations for years.

TypeScript, Effect-TS, Bun, PostgreSQL, K8s, AWS. Paid work day. Under 2 weeks to offer.

Prequel | Software Engineers (backend or full-stack) | NYC (ONSITE) | $170k-$210k | prequel.co

Prequel enables software companies to sync data to their customers' data environments, at massive scale. With the rise of agents, syncing data to customers' data environments is becoming table-stakes for a lot of software companies. We make that incredibly easy for them.

We're a team of four engineers based in NYC. We're cash-flow positive and growing fast. We're solving a number of hard technical problems that come with syncing hundreds of billions of rows of data every day with perfect data integrity: building reliable & scalable infrastructure, making data pipelines manageable without domain expertise, and creating a UX that abstracts out the underlying complexity to let the user share or receive data. We're powering this feature at companies like Stripe (Metronome), Gong, Iterable, and more.

Our stack is primarily Golang/K8s/Postgres/DuckDB/React/Typescript and we support deployments in both our public cloud as well as our customers' clouds. Due to the nature of the product, we work with nearly every data warehouse product and most of the popular RDBMSs.
