Puma.tech | Remote-first with PST overlap | iOS/MacOS, Android, Ai/ML, Growth | https://puma.tech

Hi all, I’m Yuriy, founder of Puma.tech. Previously worked as software engineer & developer advocate at Cloudant (YC S08, Acq. by IBM), Meteor (YC S11), Parse (YC S11, Facebook/Meta), and explored AI/ML (computer vision for self-driving cars).

We have two products:

1. Puma iOS & Android – browser with built in LLMs & Wallets. Private by design.

2. Puma AI app for Mac – ChatGPT/Atlas, but with ability to pick different model providers and fall-back to local-first ones for data privacy.

Would love your help building and growing both.

We value Optimism, Kindness, Curiosity, Speed and Grit.

Open Roles: Eng (iOS/MacOS, Android, Ai/ML, Browser Extensions), Based Social Media Intern; Internships: Eng, Design, Growth

We’ve raised a few rounds from some of the best builders in crypto and ai:

Protocol Labs (YC S14), Chris Larsen (Ripple), Anatoly Yakovenko (Solana), Illia Polosukhin (NEAR Protocol), Sridhar Ramaswamy (Snowflake CEO, Neeva, Greylock), Jason Warner (poolside.ai, ex-GitHub CTO), Don Ho (Orange DAO, Quantstamp W18), Evil Rabbit (Vercel), John Phamous (SF Compute) and other amazing builders.

How to Apply: email careers+hn [at] puma.tech with your GitHub, a note on what you're most proud of building and what you'd like to build next.

Thank you!

html5cat··on Tesla's FSD – A Useless Technology Demo
My car is old enough to not have adaptive cruise control and lane centering, but that's all I'd love to have for now. Well executed, it's such a joy on a highway or in traffic.

Jeep and others have it but drive like a bowling ball with guardrails up.

Has anyone here successfully retrofitted Audi a4 with ACC? I hear Cruise started like that, would be awesome to get a kit like that.

Hi all, I’m Yuriy, founder of Puma.tech. Previously worked in developer relations at Cloudant (YC S08), Meteor (YC S11), Parse (YC S11), and explored Ai/ML (computer vision for self-driving cars) before diving deep into crypto.

I come from a multi-generation family of PhDs and teachers so we definitely need to step up our relationships with universities :-D. Bonus points if you're part of ai or crypto club in your uni.

Puma Browser: we started with the idea of a privacy-first browser with built-in micropayments (via the Interledger Protocol) and have since added support for identity and storage.

We soft launched OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini integrations and local LLMs like TinyLlama, Phi, Google's Gemma and Mistral. It's pretty rough v1 so tons of work ahead. Come help us build it.

Exploring a ton of ideas for Puma.network: decentralized infrastructure layer running on top of Puma Browser 900k installs focused on creating open LLMs and rewarding contributions of compute, feedback (RLHF) and data.

We’ve raised Angel and Seed venture rounds from some of the best builders in crypto and Ai: Protocol Labs, Shima Capital, SBI, Fenbushi, HashKey, Chris Larsen (founder of Ripple), Sridhar Ramaswamy (Snowflake CEO, Neeva, Greylock), Jason Warner (ex-GitHub CTO), Illia Polosukhin (cofounder of NEAR), Don Ho (Orange DAO, Quantstamp) and many more.

html5cat··on Remembering Bob Lee
Bob was part of my on-site eng interview at Square in 2011. While I didn't get the job (either visa or didn't clear the bar), he deeply inspired me to build and eventually move to SF. If that's an effect he had from spending 45 min with him, can't imagine what it's like for people closer to him :( Amazing human and incredibly talented humble builder. RIP
