Xet [1] seems like a good idea in a world of ever more data hungry applications. It's used in Huggingface's service but the server side has been kept close source.I started reengineering it with Claude from the protocol descriptions to provide it for everyone.If you think it's cool, I am grateful for any stars and feedback!Please no AI-Slop discussions. I am optimistic about the potential for...
Aqora Quantum is building the algorithm layer of quantum computing: the place where people develop, share, and orchestrate quantum workflows. Hardware gets most of the attention, but the algorithms and the tooling around them are where the field actually becomes useful, and today that work is scattered across notebooks and one-off scripts. We host versioned datasets and reproducible benchmarks so results are comparable, and give teams a way to publish a workflow that someone else can pick up and run. Think Kaggle/Hugging Face, but for quantum. We're a small but growing team, having just raised our seed round, and we're now extending into the US.
We're looking for one senior full-stack engineer. You'd own features end to end: GraphQL API and services in Rust, React/TypeScript frontend, plus the runner that executes user-submitted workflows against simulators and real backends.
You don't need a quantum background, but you do need to enjoy going deep on an unfamiliar technology and getting productive in it fast. That happens here constantly, and we'll give you the time and the people to learn it properly. Beyond that: production Rust you've shipped and maintained, and real comfort across the stack.
Onsite in Paris or remote anywhere in the EU. If you're not in Paris, expect to join us there regularly for team weeks.
Email [email protected] with a CV or GitHub, mention HN. Happy to answer questions in the thread too.
So I understand there might come doubts in the comments on whether this is useful but I think the fact that one can run scalable sandboxes for untrusted code on Kubernetes making use of Firecracker and CoW is pretty neat (also for running sub-agents and providing them all the context).
Very interested in any kind of feedback at this stage.
We are looking for a senior sofware engineer (Rust, React) to join our team. Aqora has just raised its seed round and we are growing our team to build the "Huggingface of Quantum Computing". Reach out via hiring at aqora.io
Aqora is the "Hugging Face for quantum computing". We host datasets, benchmarks, and use-case challenges, plus the orchestration layer to run quantum algorithms and workflows across hardware backends, so results are reproducible, comparable, and actually move the field forward. We grew out of the QuantX hackathons at École Polytechnique and now run competitions and a public datasets hub for partners across pharma, finance, energy, and defense.
We're hiring:
* Senior Full Stack Software Engineer (Rust/React). Build the platform end to end: datasets hub, challenges, leaderboards, and the workflow engine that orchestrates quantum jobs across backends. You own features from schema to UI and care about developer experience. Bonus: data, ML, or research-platform experience.
* Quantum Computing Expert. Design challenges, curate datasets, define benchmarks, and shape how algorithms and workflows run on the platform. Work directly with enterprise partners to translate their problems into something the community can solve. PhD or equivalent depth in quantum algorithms, QML, or optimization.
* Chief Commercial Officer, US. Own US go-to-market end to end: strategy, enterprise pipeline, team build-out. You've scaled commercial functions at a deep-tech, dev-tools, or research-platform company. Based in the US.
* Head of Marketing. Positioning, demand gen, and brand for a category still being defined. B2B technical marketing background required; quantum experience welcome but not necessary, curiosity is.
* Product Manager. Drive the roadmap across the datasets hub, challenges platform, benchmarks, and workflow orchestration. Strong technical instincts and experience shipping developer or research-facing products.
* Sales, EU. Enterprise sales into R&D and innovation teams across Europe. Long, technical sales cycles, consultative selling, comfort talking to PhDs and procurement on the same day. EU-based, remote.
Reach out to jannes[at]aqora.io with a short note on why this problem space and what you've built or sold before.
Also, I am genuinely curious about the choice of license.
Given the „new (agentic) way“ in that software is being developed now, don’t you think it can be copied easily and that this kind of license will hinder adoption at some point?
