OnFrontiers | Senior Engineer | Hybrid/Remote | NYC or Baltimore

OnFrontiers is hiring a strong senior engineer with experience programming agents to lead development of our agentic intelligence platform for government contractors.

We're looking for a passionate, curious engineer, who wants to work closely with our founding team and contribute as both a technical expert and a member of the product leadership.

In the role, you'll lead development of our indexing services, LLM integrations and APIs, as well as our SaaS platform, as we continue to scale. The role is hands-on but has the potential to grow into management as the team scales.

Core technologies include OpenSearch, Postgres & PGVector, Go, Python and React, all running on AWS.

Interested, feel free to email me directly: lgsilver[at]onfrontiers.com

A CS degree costs something like 124 yrs salary for someone in a low income nation—and it’s a much longer harder road. I’m not AI’s biggest fan, but arguably, this type of tech actually narrows the gap. Even if it’s expensive.

Let me know when you do! I like the pattern and APIs you've designed for the SDKs—and would probably rely on a managed coordination layer like you've got. But, in order to build confidence in any product like this, we have to know that if something happened to the co, or you went another direction, we could fork the core and continue on.

And the production infra for running isn't even available, just a pared down "development server" via SSPL. This is a long way from OSS.

Agree. This is absolutely deceptive. It's too bad how the OSS moniker is being misused these days...

If you’re supposed to replace modern cartridges every 3-5 shaves, I’ve been doing it wrong. The steel blades in a cartridge easily stay sharp through dozens of shaves. The reason people replace cartridges is because they get clogged with soap and hair. If you rinse them every time, they last significantly longer than single blades.

Not here to give advice, but always hiring and willing to grab virtual coffee if you want to talk about the market or networking. Info is in my bio.

Databricks has been struggling to defend Delta against the fast-moving improvements and widening adoption of Iceberg, championed by two of its major competitors, AWS and Snowflake. This article seems like a bizarre, and maybe even misleading, artifact, given that no one in the industry is comparing Parquet to Delta. They’re weighing Iceberg, which like Delta, can organize and structure groups of parquet (or other format) files…

Agreed. “Built” is definitely the wrong word here.

He went on to say in a slightly devious tone, “I have no ulterior motives here and in no way benefit from this statement or its implications.”

This is a completely naive view of companies and how they work.

An alternative metaphor is this: imagine you got a dog, raised him, lost your sources of income and couldn’t afford to feed him. You kept him anyway out of pride or loyalty or whatever, and watched as he withered away without adequate resources to make him thrive. At the same time, others were looking for dogs and were fully willing to feed them and support them.

When companies don’t do thoughtful adjustments like layoffs, they end up instead in a cycle of slow withering, where the best resources leave and aren’t replaced, and the quality of the workforce slowly decays.

Layoffs may not be “fun” but they’re a necessary part of operating a successful company… and much better than the alternative.
