Why this grade This listing scored 45/100, which is a D. It lost the most ground on pay transparency. See the breakdown
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Description depth 14 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Remote clarity 8 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
- Pay transparency 0 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →

That is the middle half of what comparable roles paid on this board over the last 90 days — 31 listings that did publish a figure, median $179k. It is not this employer's offer, and we have no idea what they pay. It is only what the rest of the market advertised.
hn-hiring
We’re building the inference platform for visual intelligence. We’re a deeply technical team of AI / computer-vision engineers (20+ years combined, MIT/CMU/NC State PhDs) who’ve shipped production ML infra across autonomous driving and LLMs.
We launched the VLM Run Gateway (https://vlm.run/gateway) in September, a unified API that serves open-weight VLMs, embodied VLAs, ViTs, served across a fleet of GPUs and clouds. That's exactly the infrastructure problem this role will own. We're already scaling to serve 100s of thousands of requests per day, so if this sounds exciting to you, read on.
Email us at [email protected] with your GitHub profile, papers, ML projects you’ve recently shipped (100+ GH stars only) - especially with Ray, k8s, GPUs, serverless. No AI text please, keep it short, shorter emails are more likely to get a response. No remote work, must be in the Bay Area (specify in email subject).
