Company: AdaCore
Company site: https://www.adacore.com/
Position(s):
Location: Depends on the position. Most permanent positions can be remote, the internships will have to be in-office. We have offices in New-York, Bristol, Paris, Vannes, Grenoble, Toulouse, Dresden and Tallinn.
Description: At the beginning, AdaCore was the company behind GNAT, GCC’s Ada front-end. We’ve built a whole ecosystem (formal proof tooling, static analyzers, fuzzers, coverage tools, build tools, IDEs…) for the Ada language and are now aiming to become the “one-stop shop” of the embedded safety-critical world (hence the occasional Rust positions :) ).
Tech stack: See the corresponding positions. There is of course a lot of Ada, but also a lot of non-Ada things: the GCC stuff is obviously C++, the static analysis stuff is Ocaml, the Rust stuff is Rust. All of our testing/build infrastructure is in Python. Knowing Ada isn’t a requirement - we can offer training if the position requires it.
Compensation: “Industry standard”, whatever that means. I’ve been told our US colleagues have the same benefits as the ones enforced by the law in Europe (extremely good health insurance, lots of vacation days etc.)
Contact: Please go through the website.
Do you think there will be full-time positions in formal verification/static analysis anytime soon?
Short answer: I don’t know :). Slightly longer answer: these are two separate teams (the one working on Spark and the one working on Infer). I think it’s unlikely the Spark team will be offering full-time positions anytime soon as I believe they recently increased their headcount. For the Infer team, we’ve asked for new positions to be opened, but it hasn’t been okayed yet (I don’t know if that means the request has been denied or if it’s just a slow process, I am as far from the people making these decisions as one could be).
Given a portion of the work is with the defense industry, I imagine compensation is more inline with a larger business versus a startup? I’ve had ambient awareness of AdaCore for a while and am quite interested in Rust PM/Advocate work (considering I do similar work where I’m at now, but it’s not what I’m getting paid for), but I want to know it’s worth my time to apply first.
Sorry for the delay answering you, I did not know how much this position was paid and had to ask HR… Who told me that the salary range was available on the offer posted on Linkedin, and did not give me any more info than that. I don’t have a Linkedin account and so can’t go check the amount (too bad, I’m curious now 🫠).
I know I don’t have a FAANG salary. I know also I don’t have a terribly low startup salary (in fact, when I joined AdaCore, they offered me 50% more than what I was paid at the startup I was working for, without me even attempting to negotiate anything). I know I’m paid the average salary someone in my position and with my level of experience is paid at AdaCore (I was given this information by the person who hands out raises), but I also believe I’m paid slightly below what the median developer with my experience gets paid in my area.
I appreciate the pointer. I found the listening on LinkedIn and it’s in line with expectations. For other readers, they list the range at $160-200k.
What’s your opinion on the culture of work over there @glacambre? My issue with my current employment is poor communication all around in my team that I have no power to improve as my suggestions are consistently ignored, making me feel quite alienated.
I’m not sure my opinion/experience will be very relevant to someone working as a Rust product manager :). In my experience, Product Management has long been pretty bad at AdaCore, especially when it came to the product I’m currently working on (the product manager had no time and interest in managing the product). However, during the past year, things have started to improve a lot, thanks to a new Product Manager who has been doing stellar work.
I don’t feel like it’s worked yet, but there are attempts at improving communication between teams/orgs within the company.
Regarding agency/ability to improve things, the company has historically had a “do it yourself” attitude, you were free to go work on things that were outside of your purview and make them better. However, as the company grew, natural silos started to form and it’s not as easy anymore (that doesn’t mean it’s impossible, just that it requires more energy). Initiatives to work around the issues these silos cause have been launched (e.g. orgs treating each-other as customers and enforcing SLAs for requests, standardization of practices, better documentation).
Finally, about the Rust team: I interact with some of the people on that team frequently and they’re pretty nice. I believe the Product Manager <-> Team Lead in communication in particular will be great, the Team Lead of the Rust team is great at documentation, technical design and project management.

Contact: Please apply at https://freedom.press/careers/job/?gh_jid=4508975005, happy to answer questions.
P.S. FPF is also hiring a Senior IT/Infrastructure Engineer based in Brooklyn, NY; I’m not on that team but you will get to sit next to me.
I think this work and mission are fantastic, but compensation for the role is on the low end. Am I understanding that the healthcare benefit is free on this point?
Correct, FPF pays for the health plan but you still have to pay any deductible/copay/etc.
And yes, the compensation is on the low end unfortunately; we’re still a relatively small non-profit. I personally took a pay cut to work here because I enjoy the job and the culture, but I understand that not everyone can afford to do so.
It would also be a pretty substantial paycut for me, but the work sounds meaningful, so I’m considering it.

🤦♂️ Yes, thank you! That’s what I get for copy/paste.

Company: Near Earth Autonomy
Company site: https://www.nearearth.aero/ and https://www.youtube.com/@NearEarthAutonomy/videos
Position(s): Senior C++ Embedded Software Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer, Senior Robotics Engineer, others
Location: Pittsburgh PA, USA. Remote is possible but difficult, lots of the work is hands-on.
Description: Build navigation and guidance systems for cargo drones and full-sized helicopters. R&D type work scaling up (eventually) to full products. We don’t build the aircraft, we build the sensors and electronics that tell it where to go. Some work for the US military, but no weapons or other classified stuff. Wanna go to an airfield and watch an $XX million helicopter do what your software tells it to? It’s fun.
Tech stack: C++, Python, ROS2, Linux
Compensation: Salaries are on the low end of medium for US tech jobs, but so are living costs. $90-120k for senior positions. Other benefits are good but not extraordinary, 21 days PTO per year, stock options. The company founders have steadfastly refused to take VC money, which means that the company is a bit cash-poor by tech company standards, but also has no debt.
Contact: Reply here or message me for more info, I can give referrals. Apply on the website above.
I’m someone who has been trying to switch into data science (with a computer vision specialty). Would the computer vision role be open to someone who’s switching from IT? (Github for reference https://github.com/botmalka)
Possibly! The computer vision position is a senior role, which generally means “capable of telling people the Right Way they need to design a particular system”. But the company tends to be pretty good at judging people by their skills and motivation rather than their qualifications.
Company: Edgeless Systems
Company site: https://www.edgeless.systems/
Position(s): Software Engineer - Confidential Computing and AI
Location: Remote / On-Site in Bochum, Germany
Description: Work on bringing confidential computing “to the world”. Our tech stack is very diverse and spans unusually far in both directions, so you’ll probably be faced with a lot of novel challenges that need pioneering work. See the job posting for a more detailed description of what you’ll do.
Tech stack: Go, Nix / NixOS, Kubernetes, Rust, Terraform, AMD SEV-SNP, Intel TDX
Compensation: Competitive, can vouch for that, being an employee myself. Both salary- and equity-wise. Check the posting for more details.
Contact: Apply via the posting, but do mention that you come from lobste.rs!. Also feel free to email me via

Company site: https://rennsport.gg
Position(s): SRE/Sysadmin + Online Programmer for matchmaking/auth (not netcode)
Location: REMOTE(DE, SE)
Description: I’m looking to expand my “platform” team, the most important aspects right now are integrating first-party authentication, trophies and stores to our own “platform” to potentially enable things like cross-play between PC/PS5/XB.
Tech stack: Golang, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform
Compensation: 30 days paid vacation, €74,000, pension (varies by country, 5% in Sweden), flexible working (IC’s have only 4 “core-hours”).
Contact: jan [ at ] competition.company
That’s probably a bit off-topic, but uh, the website is really bad.
Bad enough that I actually had problems getting to the job offers.
Which is why I’m commenting.
cursor: none !importantand observe how badly behind it is, especially at speed.Anyways, looking for Frontend/Accessibility/UX people? Might be necessary.
Company: January Technologies
Company site: https://www.january.com/ (careers page)
Position(s):
Location: on-site (with some hybrid flexibility) in New York City
Description: January’s mission is to humanize the debt collection industry. We work to treat borrowers who fall behind on debt with empathy and dignity. If you’re suspicious of this claim (I was too), I’d take a look at the testimonials on our borrower portal, or you can DM me.
Compared to traditional debt collection agencies (i.e. non-digital agencies), we are multiple orders of magnitude more efficient. We’re also much more compliant with the law, since traditional collection agencies rely on humans remembering tons of regulations instead of having software-defined rules. The company has a lot of growth potential because, frankly, nobody wants to work in debt collection so a lot of the industry is totally stuck in the 90s. Us having a website is a competitive feature, not a baseline expectation.
Tech stack: AWS, Python/Flask, Postgres, Temporal (this one’s pretty new, there’s also Celery and custom stuff). Happy to elaborate on this if anyone’s curious. Deployment is continuous, mostly using autoscaled custom EC2 AMIs, though we’re starting to deploy some containers and use AWS lambdas when it makes sense. Dev environment is Docker.
Compensation: salary is competitive (each role has ranges listed at the bottom). Equity and 401k available (no matching). Decent health insurance, AFAICT. Flexible work hours, unlimited PTO, good parental leave. Various smaller benefits (search for “Perks”).
Contact: apply through the links under “Positions” (they’re referral links), but feel free to DM me on Lobsters or email aj@january.com with any questions. In particular, the Head of Security position will be my boss, but I’m happy to answer questions about any of these positions as best I can.
I’m a big fan of temporal. It’s a shame as to the location preference, it seems like a great mission.
Forgot to reply to this, sorry, but thanks for the kind words :-)
FWIW, we have employees in SF and will start hiring there again at some point, but we don’t really know when.

A lot of people are off till Monday … This might even be a good sign: people aren’t working through the winter break.
Posting while everyone is on holiday isn’t the best time. The quarterly thing is always a bit hit and miss. We’re currently in the process of making offers to the people from our last round and will probably start another hiring round in a few weeks, but that won’t line up with the quarterly posts here.
That’s fair.
Please let’s not clutter up these threads with commentary instead of job postings.
I think it’s perfectly on topic, even if it was tongue-in-cheeky. 70 upvotes, but no job postings says something, though it might be that kghose is right on. However, it’s 70 upvotes over a 10 hour span.
I’ve already had a spot reserved in the homeless shelter (liberal arts major), glad to see my CompSci brethren will be there as well.
