    Code AI platform with Code Search & Cody

  • Sourcegraph (https://sourcegraph.com/) | Head of AI, Applied ML Scientist, Engineering Manager of Interactions, Developer Advocate, Senior Manager of Demand Generation, Technical Writer, Enterprise Technical Advisor (East), Regional Director of Technical Advisory (West), Senior Customer Engineer (APAC) | ALL REMOTE

    Sourcegraph is 100% focused on code intelligence and bringing it to every dev and company, and we are hiring across the globe.

    Sourcegraph is an AI platform that makes it easy to read, write, and fix code–even in big, complex code bases. Companies of all shapes and sizes use Sourcegraph every day to build software you rely on. Works across any code host, any repo, any language.

    We are creating a machine learning team to work on Cody, the most powerful AI coding assistant in the world. Many companies are trying, but Sourcegraph has a unique advantage: our code intelligence data and code search platform. In the world of prompting LLMs, context is key (as Steve Yegge, our Head of Engineering, talked about in https://about.sourcegraph.com/blog/cheating-is-all-you-need), and Sourcegraph’s context is simply the best you can get: IDE-quality, global-scale, and served lightning fast. We are oftentimes the only tool which has indexed all of a company’s code across all teams and systems, which gives us a huge advantage. Our code intelligence, married with modern AI, is already providing a remarkable alpha code-assistant experience (Steve would even say it's cheating https://about.sourcegraph.com/blog/cody-is-cheating).

    At Sourcegraph, you will be a part of our foundational team to help us unlock its full potential, delivering a product that accelerates development in a way we only see every 10-15 years.

  • wundergraph

    WunderGraph is a Backend for Frontend Framework to optimize frontend, fullstack and backend developer workflows through API Composition.

  • WunderGraph | https://wundergraph.com/ | Full-time | Senior Golang Engineer | Remote

    WunderGraph is the BFF (Backend for Frontend) Framework. Our solution helps developers to manage the API Dependencies of their applications and create BFFs in no time. Our long term vision is to build GitHub for APIs, a collaboration platform for API creators and consumers.

    At the core of our product is the "Engine", a Gateway/Compiler/AST Transformation Engine that translates between GraphQL, REST, Databases, SOAP, gRPC, AsyncAPI and more. Client Request -> AST -> Transformation -> Origin Request(s) -> Response Transformation.

    This Engine allows our users to get one unified interface across all their API Dependencies, so you can easily use GraphQL or TypeScript (using our API ORM) as the "Frontend".

    We're looking to expand our Engine Team to further improve the capabilities, add more possible data sources, like gRPC, Kafka, etc... Therefore, this job is not about creating web services and such, but rather deep dive into the world of ASTs, Transpilers, different API Protocols and such.

  • bonsai

    A voxel engine in a pot (by scallyw4g)

  • | Bonsai | Realtime 3D Voxel Engine | Seeking Volunteers/Contributors | Remote, Global

    Last month I posted a 'real' hiring ad (with an actual salary). I got such an overwhelming response from Intern level candidates that I though I'd put the word out; I'm looking for contributors for an OSS project I work on. If this is an inappropriate venue for this ad, I'm happy to take this down.

    Bonsai is a long-running passion project of mine that's recently reached a level of stability with which I'm comfortable including an additional contributor or two. The project is largely inspired by Handmade Hero, and the rules are the same. With very few exceptions, every line of code included in the project has been written by me. This includes everything from the standard library to the font rasterizer, the collision detection, and even a C metaprogramming language.

    https://github.com/scallyw4g/bonsai

    As you can imagine, there's a great number of things that could be worked on, and I'm very open to suggestions. That said, a few tasks relatively high on the to-do list are as follows:

    * Make some games!

    * Implement transparency in the renderer based on this paper : https://www.jcgt.org/published/0002/02/09/paper.pdf

    * Implement an MP3 decoder

    * Using the metaprogramming language I wrote, implement a GUI tool to introspect the engine data at runtime.

    A few more .. ;)

    I'm looking for anyone who is passionate about (or passionately learning about) low-level programming, graphics and/or compilers. If you're just starting out with these topics, I'm happy to be a mentor and help you stumble blindly down the path of becoming an excellent engineer. Working on Bonsai has been an absolutely amazing experience for me; it's literally changed my entire life, and I'd love to share it with other folks. If you're looking for a cool new project to work on, and don't need income from it, let's connect.

    Obligatory buzzwords : C, C++, OpenGL, WebGL, WASM, 3D graphics, multi-threading
