Spacelift/OpenTofu | Remote | Europe/Americas | Full-time | Open Source Software Engineer

We're a VC-funded startup building an automation platform for Infrastructure-as-Code, adding a Policy-as-Code layer above it, in order to make IaC usable in bigger companies, where you have to take care of state consistency, selective permissions, a usable git flow, etc.

We are also one of the companies behind the OpenTofu[0] initiative and now hiring engineers to the OpenTofu core team. We're looking for self-sufficient mid-to-senior software engineers, ideally with experience maintaining open-source projects. Your work will be 100% OpenTofu-related.

You can apply here[1], if that sounds interesting to you!

P.S. Thanks for all the upvotes last month, we got a lot of great submissions :-)

Rubin Observatory | https://rubinobservatory.org | Senior DevOps Eng | Tucson AZ OR possible remote from US states

And now for something completely different.. (drumroll)... astronomy!

We're building a big telescope to carry out the biggest, faster, widest survey in optical astronomy. I run a small devops team in a much larger data management division - we do current data services work - lots of Python (3) data services (FastAPI) running on Kubernetes on Google Cloud and on-prem (ie sometimes in... actually clouds).

I have a number of refugees from well-known dotcoms in my team, here's why they tell me they work here despite, you know, the universe not handing out stock options:

* Sustained and humane software development, with opportunities to refactor code for incremental improvements and extend your codebase over multiple years

* No pager. If you want to turn off your phone after hours, fine (I keep mine on because fixing telescopes is actually fun to me but there's no on-call)

* No doing interviews as your job.

* 100% open source with many opportunities to upstream (all our code is on Github: https://github.com/lsst-sqre )

* Surprisingly (for academia) current toolchain and coding practices

* Benefits, stability w/ opportunity for growth. My full-stack engineer joined 8 years ago and is (still) doing better work every year. My most recent hire is a security engineer who has been with me longer than the average dotcom tenure and seems to think it's Christmas every time I tell him he's allowed to tidy up code we already have in production.

* Pay is decent, more so if you're not paying Bay Area rent. Not as much as you'd make as a Senior Engineer at Google. But:

* Nobody is the product. We stand on the shoulders of giants.

If you're interested: https://ls.st/square-job . And if you are a US taxpayer, thank you for funding our scientific mission!

If you're ever looking for a data scientist, one of my good friends has a PhD in astrophysics and left academia to do SQL, Python ML, and dashboarding. She's super sharp and I think she'd jump all over an opportunity like this.
frossie · 2 years ago
Hah I ran into the comment size limit and took out

- women work here - in technical and scientific roles

You are welcome to tell your friend to reach out, I am always happy to talk to fellow women in the field so I can learn what they are looking for and let them know when the right fit appears.

Actually, in case it's of interest to her, over at the American Institute of Physics in the DC metro area, I'm looking for a solutions architect to help support the institute and the 10 member societies connected to it. The role is to help define infrastructure standards regarding our digital experience platform (Blueconic, MailChimp, Tableau, Brightspot) as we migrate away from Drupal.

Challenging project that can help influence engagement with students, the public, and the physical sciences community for decades to come.

frossie · 2 years ago
This is why I mention things like "surprisingly current toolchain for academia" :-) My personal philosophy is staying current costs far less in the end that falling behind and then needing a giant transition...
mustardgreen · 2 years ago
As someone around the telescope a few years back, I would absolutely recommend applying! Frossie is legit and is an excellent engineer and boss
devendramistri · 2 years ago
Hey! Just in case you are looking for a immediate joine for any data engineering, please take a look at : https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmistri/
d4mi3n · 2 years ago
This is a really neat role, always love seeing opportunities in science and academia open up like this.

The job req mentions representing the work Aura is doing; do you folks have talks recorded or published anywhere?

frossie · 2 years ago
Oh thanks for asking, I should add nobody is _required_ to get out there and be a performing monkey or anything, but it's nice to get out there and talk about our work once in a while, especially since we're taxpayer funded and also because it's nice to remind ourselves occasionally there's more to this job that git push :-) One of my devs hates giving talks and so he doesn't and that's fine.

Here's a talk we gave at Influx Days on how my team uses InfluxDB that also gives background to the project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Osy0dvFM674

The mission of the telescope is to carry out the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and so if you search for Rubin LSST you'll get even better stuff I'm sure.

PS not a talk but here's my favorite video we have ever put out, it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GicDYZXMboc "We'll be counting stars" as the song goes...

Hi frossie,

Any Visa/Nationality requirements?

frossie · 2 years ago
Thanks for asking, sorry for the delay I was checking with the bureaucracy what the answer is (as we are technically government subcontractors we don't make the rules).

My understanding is we do sponsor H1s. The vast majority of nationalities are fine, however we do have on-premises computing on a Department of Energy facility, and they bar citizens of the following countries from being granted an account on their systems: https://www.state.gov/state-sponsors-of-terrorism/ so a candidate with those nationalities would be at a disadvantage.

Unfortunately for reasons outside our control, remote work is only possible from residents of the following US states:

Arizona

California

Colorado

Florida

Hawaii

Maryland

New Mexico

Texas

Virginia

Washington

Washington DC

Turnstile (https://www.tryturnstile.com) | REMOTE (US/Canada) | Engineering | $175k-250k salary + equity

---

We're a small (23-person) team of repeat founders and seasoned operators building a usage-based revenue platform that helps SaaS companies price however they want. This is a tight-knit and senior crew — most of us have 10-25 years' experience, much of it together.

The last company we started, Second Measure (YC S15), scaled to 70+ people and tens of millions in revenue, received multiple “best places to work” awards, and was ultimately acquired by Bloomberg in a landmark deal.

We're looking for extraordinary builders to play a foundational role in a company designed for scale:

  - Billing Platform Engineer (Staff or higher)
  - Fullstack Engineer (Staff or higher) 
We're well-funded by top investors (led by First Round Capital), fully distributed, and known for building intentional, inclusive culture. We offer competitive global rates (SF salary + equity), equal pay by level, work flexibility (including a 4-day core schedule), and comprehensive, family-friendly benefits.

I'm Mike, one of the founders— if interested, apply here (https://tryturnstile.com/about) and mention this post.

Banana For Scale | US | REMOTE (anywhere) | Founding Engineer

Seeking a developer with Three.js/WebGL experience to help build a new project from the ground up. Bonus points if you have played around with Gaussian splatting or other radiance field techniques, have experience in C/C++ or computer vision.

Banana For Scale (working title) allows anyone to record any space, then edit it in 3D. Think Matterport + Polycam for interactive space design.

I am currently looking for my first hire, initially as a paid contractor so that we can both test out working together. Ideally this would move to a much larger full-time role as part of the founding team. You don't have to be experienced or interested in management, but you should be comfortable with self-directed work.

I previously founded Hunter2 (YC18), scaled to $1M ARR in < 2 years with a team of three before acquisition. I would like to stay deeply involved in the tech development for this project, but someone with the right experience and 100% focus on coding could speed up our efforts 20x.

To apply, use https://forms.gle/oCp1X3Mc5xfwqboBA

flanbiscuit · 2 years ago
I don't have any of this experience you're looking for but just wanted to say that I love the working title of your company, hope it sticks around in some form.
fheisler · 2 years ago
Thanks, flanbiscuit! I hope so too. We might have to professionalize this one, but I've managed to build a company on a meme before :)

dongxuhuangv · 2 years ago
I don't have Tree.js/webgl but is in computer vision program from SFU and did some rudimentary computer vision works. Aside from that experienced in js/d3/python/aws. coded a little C++ before for simulation.

I love the title and would like to a chance to try. Do you think that I might meet the need? Keep up with the "meme" spirit!
