Backend Engineers Needed + No One Is Playing Small
Mastercard looking for AI Engineer + many more Engineering roles needed
Hey,
Spotted: Sierra pocketed nearly $1 billion, Cerebras is going public at $26.6 billion, and Atlassian silenced the SaaS-pocalypse crowd with a 29% surge, proving the AI money machine shows no signs of slowing down.
Meanwhile in China, Nvidia’s B300 servers are fetching $1 million a unit as export restrictions create a supply crisis, and Bitcoin quietly crossed $81K as traders position for further upside.
This month, we are excited to spotlight our sponsor Aluma. A Cambridge-based B2B AI company, Aluma's cloud platform automatically classifies and extracts information from unstructured documents, serving clients across the Americas and Europe while doubling revenue year on year. They are currently on the hunt for THREE remote Senior Backend Engineers and a Product Design Engineer. If that sounds like you, do not sleep on this one.
Before you apply, Aluma will ask you a few quick questions:
Do you have at least two years of Go experience in a professional environment?
Are you based in the UK with the right to work here?
Are you able to travel to Cambridge, Reading or the South/East of England for two consecutive days every four to six weeks?
Can you share a short summary (50 to 100 words) of an interesting technical problem you have solved recently?
Sierra raised $950 million at a $15.8 billion valuation, backed by Tiger Global and Google’s GV, doubling down to stay ahead in an increasingly crowded AI agent market.
Nvidia's biggest chip rival is going public on the Nasdaq at a $26.6 billion valuation, off the back of 76% revenue growth and a $20 billion OpenAI computing deal.
Hitting back at “SaaS-pocalypse” narrative with a 29% stock surge, smashing expectations, posting 32% revenue growth from strong cloud and data centre performance.
Strong demand for AI computing in China, with tighter U.S. export restrictions and a crackdown on smuggling, has created a severe supply shortage that is driving prices dramatically higher than in other markets.
Traders are positioning for a gradual rally despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and cautious sentiment, with options markets signaling growing expectations of further upside.
🧠 Quick Brain Teaser!
I appear without being summoned, vanish without being touched, and exist only when light and water agree to meet.
I promise much but hold nothing.
What am I?
