Equall is an AI-native platform for corporate legal work in private markets. We extract and reconcile legal information from source documents (charters, SPAs, board consents) and produce auditable outputs: cap table tie-outs, governance dashboards, personnel summaries. Law firms use us to do due diligence in hours instead of weeks. Working with leading ECVC firms now, expanding into PE and M&A.

The role: own the knowledge graph at the core of the platform. Design the public APIs, build the Prefect pipelines that turn documents into structured graph data, run it in production on Kubernetes.

Stack: Python, Prefect, Postgres, Redis, Kubernetes.

Need: production backend experience (Python, Go, Rust, or Zig), data pipelines at scale, strong views on API design, comfort on k8s.

Bonus: built a graph DB, designed workflow orchestration, integrated LLM workflows into backend infra, Kafka.

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/equall/48013ed1-8fab-4b49-b926-6d7e... and mention HN.

> the world is already over-populated, and however hard it is for you to compete with your peers, it'll be even harder for your children

I’m not sure this is true. Most modern economies in the world have a declining birth rate.

My perspective on children has changed recently. We need more people and in the world to solve the problems that we’ve created. We don’t know if life exists outside of the earth and I want living things to thrive, and for that to be the case, I think we need more people.

Two Lions is a startup studio based out of SF. We’re building automation and power tools for the commercial aspects of every startup (sales, marketing, recruiting, and fundraising). All these processes end up with contact management, sourcing, campaign management, pipeline views, and analytics. Team is currently three people (all with backgrounds in engineering). We're looking for a lead engineer.

Because they’re open ledgers.

I think of blockchain like I do JavaScript / JSON.

Are the perfect? No. But there’s a lot of time and energy being put into them and sometimes that’s all you really need to get things going.

Why has interoperability failed in the past? Why don’t we have it today?
I owned a pretty decent amount of crypto back in 2012, but sold all of it and own essentially none now. I think what you’re missing here is that there is actually potential in the space and that there are a decent amount of people trying to solve real problems that exist today.

The two big ones I can think of are payments and ownership.

Payments has always been a difficult part of the web. Multi billion dollar companies have been created around this difficulty. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a native, protocol level way to handle payment?

Similarly, digital ownership is totally fragmented. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a way that I could take my digital things with me between different services? I own a number of videos on Amazon, but why can’t I take that ownership right with me to view them on Hulu, or some other service.

Yeah, that's my current thinking as well, but I haven't seen anything about it written anywhere.

Ask HN: Anyone else noticing long delivery times with Amazon?

I live in the Seattle area, and last week I feel like I started to see a massive spike in delivery times.I've had a delivery that was supposed to arrive today that's been delayed for 2+ days. And when I look on for the delivery times of basically anything it seems like the expected delivery times are at the tail end of next week.Just curious is others are seeing this across the country.

That’s not what I read in that article at all. What I read was that their data and methodology was flawed, and they weren’t willing to pay the price to fix it.
This issue with take home interviews is that the time commitment on the side of the candidate is super high. If every company gives you some variant of this take home, you spend at 2-10 hours on each take home, and you're interviewing at 10-20 companies, it very quickly becomes a full time job.

The big use cases are devops/monitoring data and IoT data. But it also applies to pretty much any use case where you want to answer questions about data in relation to time.
