Senior leader, staff-level generalist, ~10YoE, between startups, scaleups, and big tech. I build with a strong sense of ownership, product and business value, not just code. I seek out collaboration with non-engineering teams to understand the broader context, and I’m not fazed by legacy systems. I'll make them work, make them fast, and make them stable without defaulting to rewrites. Over the years, I’ve worked at companies of various sizes and stages, learning what scales and when to apply the right tools and patterns. I'm someone who can move an MVP from early traction to real scale, untangle and upgrade your legacy codebase, or help a team grow through better processes and technical guidance, without needing detailed instructions to get started. Looking for a senior/staff role. Especially interested in roles related to computer vision and SLAM, but always happy at a keyboard.reliableturing

Based in Paris and about to finish my (industrial) PhD in neurosymbolic document understanding. Looking for a position such as Research Scientist/Engineer in AI in general, though most of my experience is in NLP and OCR. Have a bit of professional experience as I started my PhD a few years after having worked as a Data Scientist.

Hi, I'm Marcin, a Data Scientist/ML Engineer with a strong software development background. I've recently been working on information extraction using LLMs (BERT-like encoders and Generative AI). My previous projects include layout analysis neural networks and a data annotation platform. I'm a fan of simple, pragmatic solutions and am looking for new, impactful challenges. I am open for AI Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer and Data Scientist roles.

Backend developer with 12+ years of experience on .NET mostly building APIs, minor experience with frontend (typescript) and python, used to remote work with international distributed teams, good experience on Azure (networking, databases, aks and more), always keen on doing whatever the team needs. I'm looking for IC positions, happy to switch technology stack, open to occasional travel.skytreader
Location: EU
Remote: Yes, EU timezones preferred
Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)

Resume: https://bit.ly/3B3o65M (It links to my CV repo at Github, pinky promise. You can also visit github.com/<hnusername>.)
I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.
Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.
Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty.
I'm currently a backend engineer developing features and improving infra for an online game with millions of daily active users. I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other tech-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!

I'm a full-stack engineer who's worked at a small startup for the past 6 years writing full-stack web applications and software architecture and managing infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines. In other words, I'm a jack-of-all-trades that works well in chaos without a lot of guidance.Most of my professional experience has been developing a local-first, remote-supported observability and control stack for solar+storage projects that work well on both grid/utility and microgrid scales (industry keywords: SCADA, EMSs, VPPs, V2G, modbus, dnp3, OPCUA).

Like this Ask HN: Recommend employers with positive social impact [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31518945], I am looking for similar work, but I am open to work on any interesting project. I am a European software developer who has lived and worked on four continents. Now it's time to move on and so I am in the process to relocate to Africa.
I have more than a decade of experience running a company, doing software development, support and training and mentoring adults and students, as well as working on educational projects, and I am willing to take on a mixture of roles as needed to support a project.
I value good teamwork over fancy tech, and I don't shy away from working on legacy code. I am primarily motivated by solving problems, so let me help you solve your problems.
I am open to work for a company anywhere as long as the work can be done fully remote from Africa.
While I could find a job elsewhere I believe that the experience living in an area where my work is going to have an impact gives me a better understanding of the needs of the location I am serving. Whether it is through direct contact with clients and users or just by being part of a local community and learning about the reality of living there.
In addition, I want to use some of my income to hire local interns and junior developers and train them in order to pass on my experience. I also sponsor children that otherwise can't afford to go to school (see my website). If you want to support this, I would love to work with you. Also if you are interested in hiring African developers yourself. I can help you build up a team for you.
