Lumafield

<div>
 
 
 About Lumafield:&nbsp;
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Lumafield was founded in 2019 to upgrade manufacturing.
 
 
 
 
 
 We are engineers with deep experience across the product development cycle, from initial ideas to shipping hardware, across industries and specializations, who became frustrated by the cost and complexity of modern manufacturing. So we decided to upgrade it.
 
 
 
 
 
 Engineers make million-dollar decisions every day, and they need tools that give them the greatest possible insight into their products. By offering unprecedented visibility into products, as well as AI-driven tools that highlight problems and generate quantitative data, Lumafield promises to revolutionize the way complex products are created, manufactured, and used across industries. We started with industrial CT scanning, which for us was the most valuable but underutilized tool in the manufacturing toolbox, enabling us to rapidly inspect essential components non-destructively.
 
 
 
 
 
 We rebuilt the whole system, from X-ray capture, to computer vision analysis, to web-based collaboration, to the entire business model, making the most advanced manufacturing tech more accessible to every industry. Our company, like our platform, is designed for upgrades. We&rsquo;re building for greater intelligence, autonomy, and speed. For deeper vision, operational excellence, and powerful insights. And then we'll upgrade it all again.
 
 
 
 
 
 Lumafield is headquartered in Cambridge, MA, and has an office in San Francisco, CA.

We leverage Python in order to move quickly but ensure that we&rsquo;re getting the most out of the language through usage of powerful frameworks and parallelism concepts. Our backend team also owns their code all the way through deployment; you&rsquo;ll work to build your code into Docker containers and deploy them to our different environments including cloud Kubernetes clusters and on-premises servers.
 
 
 
 &nbsp;
 
 
 
 
 
 
 What you'll do:
 
 <ul>
 
 <li>

 Work closely with our research and algorithms team to incorporate cutting edge algorithms into our production codebases
 
 
 </li>
 
 <li>

Software Engineer, MyPay

Vast

<div><h1 class="jobSectionHeader">Developer Experience Engineer</h1>
Vast.ai &middot; Los Angeles or San Francisco Bay Area<h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
About Us</h3>
Vast.ai&rsquo;s cloud powers AI projects and businesses all over the world. We are democratizing and decentralizing AI computing&mdash;reshaping our future for the benefit of humanity.
We are a growing and highly motivated team dedicated to an ambitious technical plan. Our structure is flat, our ambitions are out‑sized, and leadership is earned by shipping excellence.
We seek engineers with strong intrinsic drive, a true passion for advancing the state of the art, and a mix of architecture, coding, and communication skills.
We've never had a dedicated role focused on the developers who build on Vast: the people renting compute from us to train and ship their models. That's what we're hiring for. You'll be our first DevEx Engineer, and you'll own the experience of building on Vast: the reference implementations and example code developers copy, and how we show up in the community around them.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader"> 
Why now</h2>
There's already an active community around Vast in our Discord, on Reddit, on X, and in YouTube comments. Some of it is the builders you'll serve; some of it is hosts and noise. Nobody on our side is really in there today, and our competitors staff this heavily. So part of the job is showing up for the developers who are already here, and part of it is growing the right audience around them. 
 
What you'll own<ul><li>
Technical content. Tutorials, example repos, and short videos that show people how to get something running on Vast. The useful kind that developers pass around on their own.</li><li>
Product feedback. You'll hear what's broken before anyone else does. Get it back to the product team, clearly and often.</li><li>
Events. Run our presence at hackathons (we already have sponsorships lined up), meetups, and conferences, including getting on a plane and showing up in person.</li><li>
Community. Be a real presence in our Discord, on Reddit, and on X. Answer the actual technical questions people ask, the kind they post at 1am when a container won't start. Set the tone for how Vast talks to developers.</li><li>
Creator partnerships. Work with developer-focused YouTubers and other creators, the ones with real audiences rather than bought ones.</li></ul> 
What you won't own
To be straight about scope: this role doesn't cover paid ads, brand and positioning strategy, or the growth dashboard. It's also focused on the demand side, the developers who build on Vast, not our GPU hosts and suppliers, who have their own very different needs. Other people own all of that and you'll partner with them. We want your time going into the builder community and the content that serves it, because that's where it pays off. 
 
Who you are<ul><li>
You've been an engineer. You can deploy a model and debug someone's setup, and developers can tell you've done the work yourself. This part can't be faked.</li><li>
You've built a developer community before, ideally close to from scratch. You know what makes one grow and what quietly kills it.</li><li>
You like people more than most engineers do. Writing, posting, talking, showing up at events. That's the actual day-to-day.</li><li>
You run yourself. Nobody's going to hand you a content calendar, and you'd rather ship something than sit in a planning meeting about it.</li></ul> 
Nice to have<ul><li>
Time at a cloud, GPU, AI-infrastructure, or developer-tools company.</li><li>
Something you've made that traveled: a tutorial series people reference, a repo with real stars, a talk that got passed around.</li><li>
Working knowledge of the AI/ML stack: model deployment, inference, fine-tuning.</li></ul> 
Your first 90 days<ul><li>
Get a steady, regular presence going on Reddit and Discord.</li><li>
Ship your first batch of tutorials and example repos.</li><li>
Represent Vast at a hackathon we're already sponsoring this summer.</li><li>
Give us a clear read on how other GPU and AI-infra companies show up with developers, and where we're behind.</li></ul> 
Compensation and location
$160,000&ndash;$200,000 base depending on experience, plus equity. We're profitable, venture-backed, and growing, so the equity is a stake in a real company with a real valuation, not a lottery ticket. Los Angeles or San Francisco Bay Area. Travel and conference budget covered.<h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
Benefits</h3><ul><li>
Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance</li><li>
401(k) with company match</li><li>
Meaningful early-stage equity</li><li>
Onsite meals, snacks, and close collaboration with founders/tech leaders</li><li>
Ambitious, fast-paced startup culture where initiative is rewarded</li></ul>
Compensation Range: $160K - $200K</div>

Account Director (AI / Emerging Tech)

Airbyte

<div>Airbyte is the data and action layer for AI agents. We give agents fast, accurate, authenticated access to business data across hundreds of sources, so they can discover the entities that matter, reason over real-time context, and take action in the systems they read from, not just observe them.
We started as the open-source standard for data movement and proved the economics of data integration at scale: hundreds of connectors, thousands of companies, and, since 2020, have raised $181M from leading investors including Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, and Y Combinator. As our CEO Michel Tricot puts it, &quot;the last ten years were all about structured data. The future is all about context.&quot; We're now building that context infrastructure for production-grade agents on the same open foundation, as agents become the primary consumers of enterprise data.
Our mission is unchanged: make data available and actionable to everyone, everywhere. That everyone now includes AI agents.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">

The Role:</h2>
Airbyte is looking for an Engineering Manager, Platform to lead the team responsible for the infrastructure, tooling, and engineering systems that power Airbyte Cloud, Airbyte Flex, and Airbyte Agents.
As an Engineering Manager on the Platform team, you'll lead the engineers responsible for cloud infrastructure, deployment systems, CI/CD, observability, reliability, and the internal tooling that powers engineering velocity across the company. Your work directly shapes both how fast engineers ship and how customers experience Airbyte. This isn't a keep-the-lights-on role. You'll make real tradeoffs between engineering velocity, customer-facing reliability, and long-term architecture every week, and you'll help define how AI transforms the way we build and operate software.
This role combines people leadership, technical strategy, operational excellence, and platform thinking. You'll help define how engineering works at Airbyte - not just what we build.<div> 
</div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What You&rsquo;ll Do:</h2><ul><li>
Lead, mentor, and grow a team of Platform Engineers, Fullstack Engineers, and SREs. Recruit engineers who understand that infrastructure decisions are product decisions.</li><li>
Own the reliability and operational health of Airbyte's production systems.</li><li>
Define the roadmap for Airbyte's platform: infrastructure, CI/CD, deployment automation, observability, internal tooling, and the product surfaces built on top of them.</li><li>
Invest in and drive adoption of AI-powered workflows for debugging, release validation, infrastructure management, and developer productivity, moving past experimentation into real operational leverage.</li><li>
Lead incident response, run blameless postmortems, and ensure systemic fixes follow every outage. Continuously reduce operational toil through automation.</li><li>
Build leverage: a week-long task this year should take ten minutes next year.</li></ul><div> 
</div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Success Metrics:</h2><ul><li>
Engineers deploy with confidence and ship faster quarter over quarter.</li><li>
Platform reliability improves as measured by customer-facing SLAs, not just internal dashboards.</li><li>
Operational toil decreases through automation, not heroics.</li><li>
Incidents are detected faster, resolved faster, and the same failure doesn't happen twice.</li><li>
Your team is engaged, growing, and building careers they're proud of.</li></ul><div> 
</div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What You&rsquo;ll Need:</h2><ul><li>
5+ years of software engineering experience, 2+ years managing engineering teams.</li><li>
Experience leading Platform Engineering, Infrastructure, SRE, or Developer Productivity organizations.</li><li>
Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and distributed systems.</li><li>
Experience operating production systems at scale.</li><li>
You think about platform work in terms of customer impact, not just engineering elegance.</li><li>
You've navigated the tension between paying down tech debt and shipping product, and you can articulate how you made those calls.</li><li>
Excellent communication skills. You can translate platform strategy into language that product, design, and business leaders understand.</li><li>
You have an insatiable desire to ship.</li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Nice To Have:</h2><ul><li>
Experience with AI-assisted engineering workflows or agentic software development.</li><li>
Experience building internal developer platforms.</li><li>
Familiarity with Terraform, Helm, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and cloud-native infrastructure.</li><li>
Experience with data infrastructure, ETL/ELT, or large-scale distributed systems.</li><li>
Experience contributing to open-source engineering organizations.</li><li>
Familiarity with Airbyte, connector ecosystems, or developer tooling platforms.</li></ul><div> 
</div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Why This Role Matters:</h2>
Platform Engineering is the force multiplier for every engineering team at Airbyte.
Your mission is to build the systems, tooling, and infrastructure that enable engineers to move faster while making our platform more reliable, secure, and scalable. Success means every deployment becomes safer, every incident becomes easier to resolve, every engineer becomes more productive, and AI becomes a natural part of how software is built.
The best platform teams are invisible&mdash;they make everyone else dramatically more effective. That's the team you'll build.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Location:</h2><ul><li>
Onsite 4 days/week in San Francisco, CA</li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
