groznyj··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2026)
Atomscale | Software Engineer, Full Stack | Boston, MA (Hybrid Onsite) | https://atomscale.ai

Atomscale is building AI to improve atomic-scale materials manufacturing. Our goal is to help translate new materials into new technologies and products by making sure they can be created at scale instead of stalling at R&D.

This is a hard (but exciting!) challenge that involves high-throughput data ingestion and processing pipelines, complex data visualization, and hardware integrations for direct control. The payoff is unlocking new technologies that address today's most pressing challenges.

⎯

We're looking for a Product-oriented Software Engineer that will:

- Build ergonomic interfaces for data visualization, workflow automation, and AI-copilot assistance.

- Develop backend systems with flexible, expressive data models and performant APIs.

- Create desktop apps for on-premises low-latency data streaming and hardware integrations.

(You don't need background in materials science!)

Atomscale | Applied AI/ML Engineer | Boston, MA (Hybrid Onsite) | https://atomscale.ai

Atomscale is building AI to improve atomic-scale materials manufacturing. Our goal is to translate new materials into new technologies and products by ensuring they can actually be created at scale faster and cheaper.

This is a hard (but exciting!) challenge that involves hardware integrations, AI that understands materials data, and real-time dynamic intervention during processing.

⎯

We're looking for an Applied AI/ML Engineer that will help:

- Develop new models to analyze materials processing data

- Improve systems for model infra & deployment

- Build data engineering pipelines to handle large amounts of multimodal data

groznyj··on If you think you can't do something, prove it
Hey HN, reframing things in terms of experiments has been super motivating for me and wanted to share my thoughts on it.

I think this approach could be described as "experimentation over self-belief".

One reason it's powerful is that it solves the self-belief bootstrapping problem: when you don't have self-belief, how can you take actions which require it, in order to develop it?

You can always do an experiment.

groznyj··on How to Start Your Blog in 2023
Happy user [0] of Bear Blog [1], would recommend.

I would also recommend spending less than 30 minutes setting up a blog if you have less than 4 posts written. [2]

groznyj··on The Biology of Endurance: Energy
Hi HN,

A few months ago I was training for a marathon and learned some exercise physiology to try and improve how I train.

I wrote an article to synthesize that learning and "relaunched" it on a Bear blog today. Wanted to share it here to get some feedback and hopefully spread some knowledge. Let me know what you think!
