We're building the platform for engineers who spend most of their time planning and reviewing code written by AI. We’re hiring for two senior roles:
Frontend (TypeScript, React): https://jobs.polymer.co/vibe-kanban/36855?source=hn
Backend (Rust): https://jobs.polymer.co/vibe-kanban/36873?source=hn
The project is open source — check it out here: https://github.com/BloopAI/vibe-kanban
I will leave this open for comments for the next hour and then merge.
This is a bet that coding agents will continue to get better, and this feels like the right time to try and figure out the interface.
But that's not a today problem, we just want to absorb feedback and iterate until we build the ultimate tool for working with these coding agents.
Things move across the board so quickly when AI is doing the work that ~50% of the columns seem pretty redundant.
This gives me something to do in that time.
My guess is time to complete a task will oscillate - going up as we give agents more complex tasks to work on, and going down with LLM performance improvement.
Let me know if any issues, we're turning feedback around pretty quick
Also now we're pushing many more PRs think we defo need better ways to stack and review work. Will look into this asap
We're combining LLMs and transpilers to translate COBOL into Java. If you’re getting into (or already work in) Rust, and have a strong product mindset, this role could be a great fit. Come and build LLM pipelines and agents, that help the largest companies modernise their legacy codebases.
Please email join [at] bloop [dot] ai with "HN Product Engineer" in the subject line.

We're building automatic code translation software, combining source to source compilers and LLMs. If you're into tree-sitter, ANTLR, ASTs or compilers we should speak. Rust proficiency is also a must.

Ever wanted to work on Open Source AI devtools? If so, we should speak! My cofounder Gabe and I started training language models for code search in 2021, and like the rest of the world we've been amazed at the progress in the space over the last few years. YC and tier 1 VCs backed us to build the ultimate AI assistant that can answer questions about large codebases, and we're looking for a product focussed engineer to join our close knit team.
About you: you hack around with GPT on the weekend, maybe you even fine-tune some of these new open source models. But you're also a solid programmer, capable of not just prototyping a nice demo but also shipping performant code that can scale. You're probably quite good at what you do, maybe you were top of your class, or maybe you rose the ranks to your comfortable senior role, but yearn for the days of writing code, redbull and deploying on a Friday.
We're a small team, looking for one individual to join us in London, in-person at least 3 days per week.
Please reach out to me at join [at] bloop [dot] ai with "HN Rust Engineer" in the subject line and a note about why this is exciting and a link to your portfolio or linkedin/resume.
P.S. Our stack is Rust, so it's likely the role will go to a candidate with Rust experience but if you think you have something to offer that compensates for lack of Rust we should chat anyway!

We're a YC + tier-1 VC backed startup, working on an AI chat assistant for software developers that can answer questions about any large codebase.
