Distru (https://www.distru.com) | Senior Software Engineer | USA | REMOTE (Americas & Europe) | Full-Time

Distru is the #1 ERP in the cannabis industry, $3B in annual sales flows through our platform, and most of the top cannabis brands and distributors in the US run their entire operation on us to stay compliant.

We're profitable, stable, and growing — no runway anxiety, and we're reinvesting into new product lines. We're an intrinsically motivated team that works without ego, is constantly learning, and genuinely cares about our people (5/5 on Glassdoor).

Distru is at an inflection point. We have deep market penetration in cannabis ERP, a new commerce layer (Distru Commerce — a B2B wholesale marketplace) live and growing, and a roadmap with a growing AI component. Our live AI Order Agent already lets buyers submit orders in any format from any source, killing manual data entry, the first of many bets on using AI to strip the repetitive heavy lifting out of running an ERP.

The role: You'll own mission-critical, full-stack features end to end — planning, design, implementation, testing — across every part of the product. You might work on AI-native features (order/purchase intake, smart product matching, systems that learn from user feedback), Distru Commerce storefronts and ordering, manufacturing and distribution workflows, cultivation mobile tools for the floor, or compliance integrations with state systems like Metrc. It's a high-ownership role: you'll partner directly with product, design, support, and our C-suite, and you'll get customers writing you personal "thank you" emails.

Junior | Remote | Any Time Zone

I'm looking for someone who understands C/C++ and would be willing to learn C++20. The codebase is small (<100k lines), and you'll be working with me to complete a project. I'll help you learn C++20 and various tools. I don't mind if you know very little, but you'll need to understand every line you write and be able to explain it to me. You'll be expect to problem solve alone.

Email me something to look at. [email protected] I don't need a resume. I rather look at code you written entirely yourself. Pick a specific file you think is interesting.

MassChallenge | Chief Technology Officer | Boston, MA | HYBRID (2 days/week in office preferred) | Full-time | $180k-$200K + great benefits/WLB

Hi HN! I'm posting my own backfill, as I'm leaving MassChallenge. It's a hands-on Product/Tech leadership role: you'd own software engineering, data, AI, and IT.

MassChallenge is the Non-profit/no equity version of YC for mission driven companies. Comp is $180k-$200K with strong benefits and good work-life balance.

You'd inherit a great team, some room for headcount growth, and a solid near-term roadmap, with flexibility to shape it once you're in.

I'm not the hiring manager (this is my last week), but I may be involved in the interview process. Mention Hacker News when you apply. Current interview process: HR phone screen, technical screen, Exec team interview, CEO interview.

Apply: https://workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default/mdf/recruitment/...

RedLine Solutions is hiring a fully remote mid-level C#/.NET developer. We are looking at an early September start date. I'm posting this way ahead of time to try something weird: If you are an interested developer, please do NOT contact me directly. Instead, find someone who will vouch for you and have them send me your resume`.

No, I'm not on some kind of power trip (yet). I just got my fill of automated application spam a long time ago; the tales I could tell. This is my modestly creative attempt to circumvent the AI's. Might be good practice for SkyNet, eh?

We are not looking for a know-it-all. Instead, we desire a "wants to learn it all". We're a small company, but our System Architect / Dev Lead is seriously a unicorn. If he mentors you for a year or two, your career is golden. Back in the day, I secretly believed I was one of the best around. Then I worked with Stephen. I've learned a ton from him, and I'm his boss.

We're a small, agile, creative and laid-back team who work hard but value work-life balance. I take great pains to make it so. If you're smart, work hard, and love writing software, ask a friend or former boss to vouch for you and have them send your resume`.

Mitty | First Engineer| Honolulu, HI or REMOTE | Full-time | Base + Founding equity

Hi I’m Devin.

Do you love hard problems? Do you find yourself thinking about new ideas on a daily basis? If so, you are the person I’m looking for!

Biz overview: Our phones camera rolls have 10,000+ photos and videos… most aren’t good but some are. Mitty analyzes the content, creates the idea from what exists, and edits the footage → presenting you with a finished video to post on social. Pretty neat huh! Well, that’s the idea. Also, hard to pull off, which is why I need you!

I'm the founder. You will be the first technical hire and own everything technical — pick the stack, make the architecture calls, write the code, and hopefully stay lead engineer for the life of the company. I’m technical but not good enough.

90-day goal: ship v1.

Helpful: ML/AI + video understanding / computer vision; mobile (iOS preferred); video processing/editing pipelines; comfort wiring up LLM + vision APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) and can workout without micro mngmt.

What I’m trying to build: category leader in AI video creation around pre existing content (different than opus who is more podcast style), built toward an acquisition or Series B in ~3 years (Adobe, Canva, Meta, Google are the obvious acquirers).

Comp: $150k base (or more depending on skill) + performance bonus + founding-level equity scaled to experience.

Ps. I don’t expect you to be THE Expert at all of this. Just someone who is good to workout with and likes figuring things out.

Role + details: https://mitty.film/careers/first-engineer.html

Apply: email [email protected] — a note plus anything relevant (resume, GitHub, things you've shipped).

You'll work directly with me, with agency to define and evolve your own role. Today we need hands-on-keyboard IC work. Want to grow that into a director-level role? This is the time to join.

My short endorsement: I love coming to work every day and building the future along with a lot of the smartest people I've ever met, with a workplace culture that I'm proud to be a part of. You should come help me make it even better.

Quantum Rise | Chicago or NYC (preferred), Remote for the right candidate | Full-time | No visa sponsorship | https://www.quantumrise.com/

Quantum Rise is an AI-forward consulting startup serving the mid-market in the US. We see companies in multiple industries struggling to understand how to leverage artificial intelligence in their day-to-day operations, trying to understand what their existing workforce now needs to know, or trying to understand whether they're about to be disrupted and need to change how their existing processes work. Many have business problems which "traditional" machine learning could help with even prior to the current GenAI hype cycle, but for whatever reason hadn't prioritized doing until now. Many have employees looking to incorporate agentic AI safely and effectively across different business areas. We try and help getting a handle around these issues and designing outcome-driven solutions.

Agentic AI Solutions Manager: You'll work directly with clients to benchmark, train and deploy agentic systems for industry-specific problems. We're looking for someone deeply embedded in agentic engineering practice across vendors and platforms. Companies are looking for ways to leverage agentic systems to upskill their practitioners and need help navigating a new, powerful scary world.

AI Solutions Engineer: You're someone who has experience across the entire spectrum of applied automation, machine learning and agentic engineering.

We think of these two roles as complementary -- agentic AI solutioners help clients understand the forefront, whereas pure AI solutioners help them pick the right solution not the one they saw in the news.

Both are front-facing development roles for someone who loves both tech and tackling real business problems. We love people with prior experience in multiple industries.

To apply, send me an email at julian.berman at quantumrise.com, mentioning HN and including your CV.

SmarterDx | 150-250k+ + equity + benefits | Remote (US only) | Multiple roles | https://smarterdx.com/careers

SmarterDx builds clinical AI for one of healthcare’s most broken systems: how hospitals get paid for the care they actually deliver.

Our physician-designed clinical AI platform reviews the clinical record, understands the nuance of patient care, and helps hospitals capture appropriate reimbursement across the revenue cycle. The core problem is hard: messy clinical data, complex regulations, payer rules, medical reasoning, and real financial stakes. When we get it right, hospitals recover millions in earned revenue, reduce manual review burden, and keep clinical and revenue teams focused on higher-value work.

We’ve hit serious scale while keeping the team unusually strong and technical: MD/data scientist hybrids, Stanford LLM researchers, former Google and Amazon engineers, former ASF board member, and others who are among the best in their fields. Many teammates have been here since we bootstrapped to $1M+ in contracted revenue before raising capital.

In 2025, SmarterDx became part of Smarter Technologies through a $1.1B deal with New Mountain Capital, reaching unicorn status while continuing to operate with the autonomy, urgency, and product velocity that got us here. Before that, we raised $71M from Floodgate, Transformation Capital, and Bessemer, including a $50M Series B.

We have real product-market fit: 85+ health systems, 300+ hospital sites, rapid customer growth, and 150% YoY headcount growth (currently at ~550). Now we’re scaling the platform.

Axle Health (health tech x logistics) | Backend, Interoperability, and DevOps roles | ONSITE: Santa Monica (5 days) | https://www.axlehealth.com/careers

Home-based care should be the default in American healthcare. It isn't, mostly because the technology has never been good enough. Patients heal faster at home, it costs a fraction of facility-based care, and it's what people actually want — yet the industry runs on phone calls, spreadsheets, and systems built in the 90s. We started Axle Health because we think that's fixable, and because the stakes are high enough that it's worth doing right.

We're Axle Health, and we think in-home care deserves world-class technology. We're building the operating system for home-based healthcare — the scheduling intelligence, the clinician tools, the logistics coordination — everything that has to work perfectly so a clinician shows up at the right door at the right time with everything they need. It's a hard and important problem, and we're just getting started.

The complexity is real: real-time scheduling optimization across dynamic clinician networks, last-mile logistics that make Uber Dispatch look simple, integrations with every flavor of EMR and payer system you've never heard of, mobile-first tools that have to work in spotty cell coverage in someone's living room, and the compliance surface area that comes with handling PHI at scale — we need to build it all, and we want people who think this stuff is genuinely fun.

Currently hiring Senior Software Engineers (7+ YOE) for:

Backend (Python + Django): https://www.axlehealth.com/careers?ashby_jid=8db08b55-399c-4...

Interoperability (Typescript + Node): https://www.axlehealth.com/careers?ashby_jid=0bcdc195-ac3f-4...

Ecosmic | Senior DevOps Engineer | Remote (Italy) | €50,000–€60,000

Ecosmic is on a mission to reduce threat exposure in space by building software for Space Situational Awareness. To achieve this, we built a team of flight dynamics engineers and computer scientists to build & package in-house algorithms into easy-to-use, reliable, and secure products. As an example, our platform recently allowed us to identify a series of close approaches in GEO involving Russia's Luch/Olymp-2 and a Western telecommunications satellite, possibly attributed to SIGINT activity.

We're hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer (strong mid-level candidates are welcome too!) to aid the effort of unlocking on-premises deployments of our algorithms with Kubernetes, and to contribute to the evolution of our platform.

Our stack includes Python for backend services and high-level algorithm tooling, C++ for performance-critical components, AWS for cloud infrastructure, and Terraform for IaC. We currently use managed serverless services, and we’re beginning a gradual migration from C++ to Rust for its reliability guarantees.

You’d join a team of three software engineers who love working in such a fantastic domain. I currently take care of most of the infrastructure work with the team, and we’re looking for someone who can help us tackle this new challenge.

Apply here, mentioning HN in the cover letter: https://careers.ecosmic.space/jobs/7609407-senior-devops-eng...

Hey HN! Air Space Intelligence (https://www.airspace-intelligence.com) is hiring in Boston. We're a frontier AI and product company for critical industries and defense, backed by a16z.

Last week, the FAA awarded us a 12-year, $875M contract to build FMDS and SMART - the flow-management and airspace optimization systems that will become the technological backbone of the FAA's Air Traffic Control. What we ship in the next two years will define how this country moves through the sky for the next fifty.

At the core is one of the largest real-time optimization problems in the world: how do you safely sequence ~40,000 flights/day while routing around weather, military airspace, equipment outages, and constant real-world churn? The system has to be right every time, and reliable at scale.

More here: https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/modern-skies-trumps-transportat...

Rho | Software Engineer | NYC (Soho) | ONSITE | Full-time | $170K-$270K + equity | https://rho.co/

Rho is the modern banking platform built for startups: open accounts, issue cards, manage expenses, pay bills, and close the books in one connected platform with real human support.

We're hiring engineers who want to own problems rather than be handed a slice of one. You'll scope work, write the code, ship it, and sit in on customer calls to understand what actually needs to get better. If a problem touches the frontend today and the backend tomorrow, you go where it goes.

We're looking for 5+ years of engineering experience in a fast-moving environment, comfort working across the stack, and real daily AI fluency. You'd rather get something in front of a user than spend another week making it perfect in a doc.

(Bonus: the office is dog-friendly.)

MONUMENTAL | https://www.monumental.co/ | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Full Time | Onsite

We make robots that autonomously construct buildings, starting with bricklaying.

There's a lot of vapourware in robotics, but we're deploying robots across multiple concurrent sites today - and generating revenue. In the last couple of months, our robots have built affordable social housing, health care living units, canal walls in the historic city centre of Amsterdam, and a youth sports centre. Help us to build things that matter in the long run.

We're looking for experienced software engineers for many roles. You can help us solve problems like:

- Data sync and analytics queries across a fleet of robots (that can be offline for hours at a time)

- Modelling buildings in code and finding the right UI for operators to edit them

- Designing systems for robots to drive safely and fully autonomously around a building site

Check out the progress we've already made on Atrium, our operating system for robotics: https://www.monumental.co/atrium

We're rapidly scaling up operations and we need experienced engineers who can build the systems that manage all of that complexity. If you think that 'full-stack' could reasonably mean debugging firmware, mixing buckets of mortar _and_ writing React components, we are looking for you. Robotics experience not required!

We're a remote-first digital product studio building across sports media, AI, fitness, and personal branding — 500+ web properties and deeply AI-native workflows.
