hn · Remote-first with PST overlap
Jose is an exceptionally strong technical fit with proven expertise in AI/ML systems, real-time applications, and full-stack development across web and mobile platforms. His founding engineer experience building production AI products at scale, combined with his deep LLM/LangGraph knowledge and infrastructure expertise, directly aligns with Puma's browser and AI lab needs. However, his CV shows limited iOS/MacOS native development experience (mostly React Native), and no demonstrated browser extension or privacy-focused systems work, which are core to Puma's products.
Hook: Jose has built production AI products from scratch, architected real-time voice systems, and optimized complex ML pipelines—exactly the full-stack AI engineering depth Puma needs to evolve its browser and privacy-first AI platform.
Missing: iOS/MacOS native development, Android native development (Kotlin/Java), Browser extension architecture, Privacy-preserving ML systems, On-device model optimization
