Beacon AI builds intelligent systems that make aviation safer and more autonomous. We’ve completed multiple DoD programs and are expanding our team with exceptional technical leaders to push the boundaries of human-machine collaboration in the cockpit. At Beacon, you will lead by example, mentoring and growing a small team of talented engineers (typically 1–2 to start) while staying hands-on in design and execution. You’ll help shape critical systems that advance aviation safety and autonomy, working alongside a team that values effort, creativity, and accountability.
We’re hiring Lead Engineers with 5-9 YOE who love solving complex problems. At Beacon, you’ll own your work end-to-end, from prototype to deployment, and literally see your code take flight in real world aviation environments! Roles:
++ Lead iOS Engineer [Tech Stack: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Mapbox]
++ Lead Infra/Backend Engineer [Tech Stack: AWS]
++ Lead WebApp/FrontEnd Engineer [Tech Stack: Python, Typescript, React]
++ Lead Autonomy/Robotics Engineer [Tech Stack: C++, Python, iOT]
++ Lead Security Software Engineer [Skills: Ability to perform hands-on security engineering tasks, CMMC Compliance Knowledge]

Quantum Rise is an AI-forward consulting startup serving the middle market, across multiple industries. Clearly many companies are struggling to understand how to leverage artificial intelligence in their day-to-day operations, to understand what their existing workforce now needs to know, or to understand whether they're about to be disrupted. Many have business problems which "traditional" machine learning could help with even before the current GenAI hype cycle, but for whatever reason hadn't prioritized doing so until now. We try and help getting a handle around these issues and designing outcome-driven solutions.
Agentic AI Solutions Manager: You'll work directly with clients to benchmark, train and deploy agentic systems for industry-specific problems. We're looking for someone deeply curious about agentic systems across vendors and platforms. Companies are looking for ways to leverage agentic systems to upskill their practitioners. This is a front-facing development role for someone who loves both tech and tackling real business problems. To apply, send me an email at julian.berman at quantumrise.com, mentioning HN and including your CV.
Data Engineer: You'll work directly with clients and application developers to design and build data solutions for AI-enabled applications, Lakehouses, Warehouses, and analytics that solve industry-specific problems. We're looking for someone passionate about delivering outcomes that combine best practices for deterministic data management and governance with AI functionality across tools, vendors, and platforms. Our clients need to leverage AI to solve specific problems using data. This is a client-facing development role for someone who loves to work with data technologies and tackle real business issues through genuine innovation. To apply, send John an email at john.swift at quantumrise.com, mentioning DE and including your resume/CV.
Spruce lets users control their data across the web. Instead of users logging into platforms, we believe platforms should request to access data vaults controlled by users.
The demand for trusted digital ID is accelerating as AI deepfakes begin to destroy most of the ways we use to verify identity today. How private or secure is it to hold your driver's license or passport up to a webcam to get a bank account? Was it ever private or secure? Stable diffusion can break so much of this already. Society will need trusted digital IDs and credentials. Our mission is to allow them to be controlled by individuals, with safeguards to prevent descents into surveillance states and checkpoint societies.
We are the main implementers of category-defining initiatives such as the digital ID program for the California DMV, and the verifiable digital credentials program in Utah. We are private sector participants in NIST's National Cyber Security of Excellence initiative for privacy-preserving digital ID.
We are hiring skilled engineers who care about making a real impact in improving public services, digital autonomy, and user privacy for the world. We work closely with public sector agencies, and have high regard for public servants. We have a strong engineering and customer-oriented culture, and are not simply a SaaS product or AI wrapper. Our roles are not for the faint of heart: you will be expected to work hard and learn a lot in this role.
Our engineers are ambitious to get outcomes for our customers and their constituents. On any given day, they may write great Rust/C#/TypeScript, deal with mainframe dumps, read policy documents, respond to technical RFIs/RFPs, manage on-prem environments, implement new NFC + Bluetooth protocols in Swift/Kotlin, create CI/CD processes that enforce W3C accessibility guidelines and i18n requirements, rewrite lost specs from disassembled binaries, figure out stablecoin payments, and design new protections for public key infrastructure. It is a team effort, and people with T-shirt shaped skills are able to collaborate and learn a ton from each other every day.
We are interested in candidates who want to be proud of the meaningful impact they make for society, even if it takes time to get right. This is not the right job for someone who wants to "join a cool new AI startup" that implodes or exits in under a year.
