Good Pair Days | Lead Engineer, Fullstack | Full-Time | REMOTE (Australia +- 1h) | https://www.goodpairdays.com | AUD $150,000 to $250,000 + Stock Options
Profitable wine-subscription scale-up (tens of millions ARR) that used ML for personalised recommendations before "AI" was cool. Own and scale the whole stack (React/React Native, Python/Django, GraphQL, Postgres, AWS), ship new AI-native features, chase latency spikes, and grow the team from 1 → 5+.
You're a commercial thinker who speaks unit economics, retention levers, and gross margin as fluently as REST endpoints; resourceful, data-driven, ops-literate, and never stops tinkering with the latest models.
Comp up to A$250k + meaningful equity.
You can email me directly ("beto" at our domain name specified above and the subject line as "From Hacker News | Remote | {your country}") with (1) a tech decision you owned and its business impact, and (2) the first AI experiment you'd run at GPD.

Really cool! I should go back to my hobby project [1] and make specific software timelines referencing BetaWiki : )

Both are amazing and challenging reads. Rovelli and Deutsch follow different interpretations of quantum mechanics (many worlds vs relational quantum mechanics), which sends them to different questions and assumptions behind their thinking.

Good Pair Days | Senior Software Engineer | REMOTE (AEST +- 3 hours - Australia, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Japan...) | https://www.goodpairdays.com | AUD $140,000 to $190,000 + Stock Options
It's our mission at Good Pair Days to disrupt a powerful and entrenched industry and liberate the world of wine from the aloof, the exclusive, the confusing, and the pretentious. To open up the joy of wine discovery for the novices through to the aficionados, by reimagining what the wine retail experience can be for one of the oldest consumer products on earth.
To give you an idea, one of our first products is something we like to call "Spotify for Wine". We like to think of it as providing monthly wine adventures, customised to each member's unique tastes (powered by ML), delivered to their door. Where they can learn as much (or as little) about their wines each month as they like.
Our stack (not a must): Python/Django, React, React Native, GraphQL, Postgres, AWS.
Nice to have: ML Experience.
You can email me directly ("beto" at our domain name specified above and the subject line as "From Hacker News | Remote | {your country}").
PS 1: Please note, this is a full-time remote position within the AEST +- 3 hours limitation.
PS 2: At least 5 years of work experience.

The place where your children grow up can greatly impact their future, more so than any other factor [1]. It's not an easy decision or a simple fix for many, but where my kids would grow up was a major consideration for me when I made the choice to leave my birth country.

> Happiness really does start from within.
100% - and for some people to excel in connecting with themselves, they need a calmer environment - or just more simplicity.
But his sentiment reminded me right away of the book "The Quest of the Simple Life" by William James Dawson.
