  • Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) | Madrid, Spain | HYBRID | Senior Scientific Computing Engineer | Full-time

    CNIO is one of Europe's leading cancer research centres. We're looking for a senior scientific computing engineer to join the IT, Scientific Computing and AI area and take ownership of the infrastructure behind our research, from genomics pipelines to AI models. You'll be the senior scientific computing person in the area, reporting directly to me (the area head), and you'll help define where scientific computing at CNIO goes over the next few years.

    What you'll do:

    - Shape the roadmap for scientific computing at the centre and drive it forward

    - Own and evolve our HPC cluster (Slurm): scheduling, monitoring, capacity planning, user support

    - Build out our GPU / AI infrastructure as the centre's ML workloads grow

    - Work with researchers to turn their analyses into robust, reproducible pipelines and tools

    - Optional: co-author research papers

    What we're looking for:

    - Several years running Linux HPC environments in production (Slurm or similar)

    - Comfortable with automation (Ansible, Python), containers (Apptainer/Docker) and workflow managers (Nextflow, Snakemake or similar)

    - Someone who wants to set direction, not just keep the lights on

    - Bonus: Ceph, Kubernetes, GPU stacks, a bioinformatics background

    - Spanish not required

  • Discord | Senior Software Engineer, Application Security | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | $280K–$330K TC

    Discord is where communities and friend groups spend time together, on desktop, mobile, and now more and more inside games and third-party apps built on our platform. That surface area, plus a huge, engaged, occasionally adversarial user base, makes application security a genuinely hard and interesting problem here.

    We're hiring a Senior Application Security Engineer to join the Product Security team. Responsibilities include threat modeling and secure design review with product and platform teams, building and improving AppSec tooling (SAST/DAST/dependency scanning), and working directly with engineering teams to remediate findings.

    Stack: Python primarily, some TypeScript/React, some Rust, occasional JavaScript. Runs on GCP.

    Looking for: hands-on AppSec experience (not just compliance-flavored security), comfort reading and reviewing code across languages, and sound judgment on prioritizing real risk over checklist security.

    Interview process: recruiter call, coding round, HM interview, virtual onsite, decision.

  • *Fastly | Software Engineers (Senior, Staff, Principal) | US, UK, EU, APAC ONSITE PREFERRED | Full-time*

    When you look at the headers of major websites, you’ll see us. If it has to be performant, secure, scaled worldwide, and always-on, it uses Fastly.

    We're a global edge cloud platform for performance and security, emphasizing open standards, sustainable engineering, and resilience-by-design.

    We're hiring across compute, security, platform engineering, network and edge protocols, release engineering, network architecture, client services engineering, and more.

    Onsite preferred, but remote candidates with a strong fit are welcome!

    Rather than building walled gardens, we co-founded the Bytecode Alliance, heavily upstream our work to open standards, actively author IETF drafts, and power the global infrastructure for open-source Python, Rust, Ruby, OpenStreetMap, and much more.

    * The Stack: Rust, C/C++, Go, Javascript, Typescript, WebAssembly (Wasm/WASI), Wasmtime, Cranelift, eBPF/XDP, QUIC, HTTP, TLS, TCP, Varnish/VCL, Linux kernel internals, distributed systems, professional services. * Apply: https://www.fastly.com/about/careers

  • MONUMENTAL | https://www.monumental.co/ | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Full Time | Onsite

    We make robots that autonomously construct buildings, starting with bricklaying.

    There's a lot of vapourware in robotics, but we're deploying robots across multiple concurrent sites today - and generating revenue. In the last couple of months, our robots have built affordable social housing, health care living units, canal walls in the historic city centre of Amsterdam, and a youth sports centre. Help us to build things that matter in the long run.

    We're looking for experienced software engineers for many roles. You can help us solve problems like:

    - Data sync and analytics queries across a fleet of robots (that can be offline for hours at a time)

    - Modelling buildings in code and finding the right UI for operators to edit them

    - Designing systems for robots to drive safely and fully autonomously around a building site

    Check out the progress we've already made on Atrium, our operating system for robotics: https://www.monumental.co/atrium

    We're rapidly scaling up operations - we'll be building in the UK soon - and we need experienced engineers who can build the systems that manage all of that complexity. If you think that 'full-stack' could reasonably mean debugging firmware, mixing buckets of mortar _and_ writing React components, we are looking for you. Robotics experience not required!

  • Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), Switzerland | Software Scientist / Research Software Engineer | ONSITE (CH) | Full-time | 2y project | www.psi.ch

    PSI is the largest research institute for natural and engineering sciences within Switzerland. We perform cutting-edge research in the fields of future technologies, energy and climate, health innovation and fundamentals of nature. By performing fundamental and applied research, we work on sustainable solutions for major challenges for society, science and economy.

    We are looking for a developer for the measurement orchestration software for experiments at the Swiss Light Source (SLS) synchrotron. Our scientists rely on this software for time-critical experiments, requiring support before, during, and after measurements to use, extend, and integrate new functionality. The role acts as translator and facilitator between scientists and specialists across a wide range of disciplines, bridging gaps in collaborative discussions and code development.

  • Wikimedia Foundation | Lead Product Manager, Security | REMOTE (US + 18 countries) | Full-time

    I lead the security and safety team for Wikipedia, at the Wikimedia Foundation. I’m hiring a product manager to lead our security roadmap and steer the priorities of our security engineering team.

    It’s a high-pace, shipping-heavy time for the whole project right now, as we are dedicating ourselves to surviving all the ways AI is messing with us and the internet, and getting to the other side of it. I joined myself about a year ago, and have found it to be a great time and place to swing big and surprise people.

    This is a PM role and PM background is certainly helpful, but it’s not strictly required (everyone has the first PM job at some point). A technical background and security expertise are a must for this role, so we’re also open to people in engineering roles, who have demonstrated PM-relevant skills and are interested in making a pivot.

    You can apply at https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jobs/8140060?gh_s... - we don’t auto-filter based on AI or anything like that, I will personally see your resume.

  • PlantingSpace | Full-time | Remote (EU time zone) + Quarterly Meet-ups | https://planting.space

    We're building a system that represents domain knowledge as modular probabilistic models — making analysis rigorous and transparent. Users can connect these models flexibly into larger structures. The system enforces consistency across them, and propagates uncertainty through each step. Our first applications are in finance and scientific research, with use cases ranging from equity valuation and distress monitoring, to particle physics.

    We're hiring for the following openings:

    * Engineering Program Lead

    * Backend Software Engineer

    * Quantitative Modelling Engineer

    * Bayesian Software Engineer

    * Program Synthesis Engineer

    * Analytic Learning Algorithm Researcher

    * Product Managers and Business Development

    * Domain Experts - Valuation, Quantitative Default-Probability, or Interest Rate Prediction Models: to collaborate on use cases, from opportunity validation through production

    We’ve recently released a series of recordings from one of our quarterly team retreats, to share a look into how we work, and some of the technical problems we’re solving. A few team members sat down and talked through these topics, unscripted, and real. If you consider applying to join us, they offer a glimpse into our culture, and what working with us is really like.
