DAT | Frontline Engineering Manager, Senior Engineering Manager | Seattle, Portland, Denver | Hybrid 2-3 days/week | Full-time | $192k - $261k

I'm hiring for a frontline EM building the automation and trust layer for freight pricing, matching, onboarding, and settlement.Lead 1-3 teams (FTE + contractors), own delivery end-to-end, ~8 yrs exp typical. I expect everyone in my eng org (myself included!) to be technical and be able to help unblock the team, though your day-to-day wont be in the code.

Technical here means you can/will get into the code yourself and architecture reviews and maintain technical credibility with our junior to staff/principal level engineers. These are not player-coach roles, but these are frontline roles that need that technical capability.

Interesting problems: trust/fraud at marketplace scale; legacy-data-meets-modern-stack; and all kinds of problems that come with powering hundreds of thousands of load/shipment postings every day.

AI/LLM: We are leaned in, but still hold humans responsible for what they push and expect everyone to review and understand llm output before asking other humans to look at a thing.

Culture: I am deeply familiar with Google's project oxygen/aristotle and am building a culture where our teams can do great work with minimal bs.

Location: Must be local to one of our three locations (Seattle, Portland, Denver).

Primary Tech: Node/TS, React, GraphQL, Kafka/redpanda, k8s, AWS, etc

Paramark | Software Engineer (L4) | San Francisco HYBRID (3 days/wk) or REMOTE (US) | Full-time | $199K–$249K + equity

Paramark helps Marketing teams optimize spend across all of their channels and programs. There are proven scientific ways to do this, but they are poorly understood and practiced by only a tiny fraction of teams. Our product ingests data from all of our customers' marketing channels and uses it to train open-source ML models for both measurement and experimentation. This makes it possible for any marketer to use these methods.

In this domain, it's hard to figure out what to build, and it's even harder to be both accurate and simple. You'll be joining a small team -- we have four product engineers. That means owning systems end to end and having real influence over what gets built. Your typical project will start with a high level goal, and you will figure out the rest.

Founded 2023, 15 people, $8M from Greylock and others, cash-flow positive. Reasonable working hours: when the Mercury News covered the return of 996 culture, we were the counterexample. "We don't think early stage startup life requires 18-hour days, or even 12-hour days." https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/08/25/silicon-valley-startu.... 4 weeks PTO plus federal holidays, medical/dental/vision (100% of employee premiums, 50% for family).

Looking for 8+ years, full-stack. Some exposure to statistics, experimentation, or A/B testing helps.

Stack: TypeScript, React, Python, Postgres. Google Cloud, Kubernetes, FastAPI, taskiq.

Process: intro call; technical phone screen; one-day onsite in SF (travel covered for remote candidates)

In-person: https://paramark.com/careers/software-engineer-l4

Remote: https://paramark.com/careers/software-engineer-l4-remote

I'm the CTO and I read every application myself. Happy to answer questions in this thread.

Overture | Founding President/COO, M&A / Investment Banking | REMOTE (US) | Significant equity

Overture is a vertically integrated, AI-native marketplace for SME acquisitions with listing, valuation, deal rooms, SBA pre-qualification, and capital formation end-to-end. Think TurboTax of business exits, aimed at the baby boomer succession wave (millions of businesses, most with no succession plan).

Who we are: founding team with a decade in fintech, previously backed by Pantera Capital. Platform is close to MVP, pilot structured around ~$5M businesses, fundraise timed to our first deal reaching purchase agreement. In advanced discussions with a top Los Angeles law firm to handle sell-side contracts with one partner already as advisor.

The role: you run sell-side execution on our pilot transactions from engagement through close, and you shape how deal mechanics get productized into the platform. True cofounder: strategy, fundraising presence, significant equity.

You: deep sell-side M&A or IB experience, ideally some in lower middle market ($1M–$25M deals). Comfortable running a transaction hands-on with minimal support. At least one of: fundraising experience, a broker or intermediary network you can bring along, or M&A licensing (Series 79/63 or state broker license a strong plus). Builder's temperament.

Deal supply is our current priority.

Mattermost | Remote (US and Canada) | FT | Multiple roles

Mattermost (https://mattermost.com) is an open-core collaboration and workflow automation platform for air-gapped, on-prem and private clouds. Our customers are in defense, intelligence, security and critical infrastructure, including the USAF and NASA. Y Combinator led our Series B, their largest open source investment at the time.

Both openings are full stack on the core platform: Go backend, React/TypeScript frontend, PostgreSQL and Redis. The codebase is public (https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost), so most of what you build is too. We would rather hire people who ship and own complex software end to end than chase an exact stack match, so any systems or backend language and any frontend stack counts. What we look for in both roles: REST and WebSocket APIs with real networking fundamentals (HTTP, connection lifecycle), and relational databases including schema design and query optimization.

We use coding agents daily (Claude Code, Cursor, and others) for scaffolding, refactors, code review and test generation, and we treat that as core craft rather than a shortcut around the fundamentals. If you have a track record of shipping and owning complex software end-to-end, we want to hear from you.

*Senior Full Stack Engineer* $142,723 - $172,723 USD Architect and ship full stack features end to end, own the testing strategy for what you ship, and build internal tooling and testing infrastructure that makes the rest of the team faster. You will work without close supervision and hold the security and compliance bar our customers require. Nice to have: distributed systems and high availability architecture, regulated-environment security, open-source contributions, experience on remote-first teams.

Join our team: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/mattermost/jobs/5379251008

*Staff Full Stack Engineer* $172,724 - $227,135 USD Set technical direction for the platform rather than for a feature area: architecture and roadmap across the stack, the standards for how the org uses coding agents, and the strategy for internal tooling and testing. You will influence direction across teams, partner with security and compliance on it, and mentor senior engineers. Nice to have: staff, principal or tech lead experience elsewhere, open-source maintainership, FedRAMP or ITAR familiarity, defense or critical infrastructure background.

Join our team: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/mattermost/jobs/5405811008

Both roles have Canadian postings: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/mattermost

VersaFeed.com | SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER (Python/Django + JavaScript - VueJS/React) | REMOTE (USA ONLY) | Full-time

About us: Fancy ETL pipeline which processes products from huge ecommerce companies. Data extraction and massage, delivery to destinations like Google/Meta/TikTok/etc. Profitable, 18+ yrs stable, 100% employee-owned. No VC, no pointless meetings, just serious coding.

Stack: Python/Django, JavaScript, VueJS/React, Docker, Git, PostgreSQL/Snowflake/DuckDB, Dagster, AWS + Strong agentic coding skills (Claude Code / Codex)

Compensation: $150K–$220K USD/year DOE.

You: 5+ yr senior dev who's seen (and fixed) enough dumpster-fire code to last a lifetime. Python/Django deeply internalized; solid JS skills and able to wrangle Vue/React. You rock backend data pipelines like old jeans: Dagster, Snowflake, DuckDB, Postgres - in the cloud or on your bitchin' VM rack. Docker and Git are second nature. You've embraced agentic coding while still keeping the bots from running the slop show. You play well with others and write code that's easy to live with. Bonus: building AI assistants with PydanticAI, Py2→Py3 migrations, CI/CD and DevOps chops.

Timezones: Primary time zone is PST (standups at 9AM PST). Generally async-friendly but you must reside in the United States and be geographically grounded.

Benefits: 401K match, healthcare/vision/dental, equity, fully remote. Stable company with no time-wasters.

Zepto | Senior Security Engineer (product security) | REMOTE (AUS) | https://zepto.bamboohr.com/careers/104

As a Senior Security Engineer (Product Security), you will play a significant role in keeping our product safe and secure by building on and maturing Zepto's product security practices. You will work hands-on and shoulder-to-shoulder with Engineering and Product teams, providing guidance and coaching across the software development life cycle while continuing to raise the bar on our security expectations and capability.

This is a security role at its core, but not a gatekeeping one. We are builders – we expect you to read and write production-level code, build tooling and automation, and contribute paved-road solutions that engineers actually want to use. Reporting to the Security Engineering Lead, you will work closely with them to develop and build Zepto's product security strategy and approach. You will apply a consultative and advisory approach when working with the wider Zepto team, empowering them to work confidently and to use the self-service capabilities you help establish.

We have excellent working relationships with our developers and we need to keep it that way. We are not the team of no. We are the team that helps make things better.

Zepto is moving quickly towards an AI-native way of building and operating. You will be someone who is already experimenting with AI and agentic tooling, or is genuinely keen to, and who is open to developing the skills to secure these systems as we adopt them. Within the Security team, you are the go-to person for:

Secure development practices Vulnerability management Security architecture advice

Working in a scale-up, means you get the opportunity to flex your skills in a variety of ways. We are agile and always willing to roll up our sleeves to get things done. You can, however, expect your day to day to be involved in the following:

Coach engineering teams and collaborate to ensure every step of the software development life cycle follows security best practices Design, build and maintain security tooling, automation and paved-road controls as production-quality software Conduct security assessments and architecture reviews of Zepto's applications and services Embed within project teams to ensure they are effectively considering information security risk and prioritising security controls Establish and document security architecture and practices in collaboration with the Security Engineering Lead, Product and Engineering teams Work with the Security Engineering Lead to support Zepto's adoption of AI and agentic systems, and experiment with AI tooling to improve how the Security team works Help manage application security incidents in collaboration with the rest of the Security team

Stpkr Technologies is hiring for the following roles to build the next generation of wearable devices.

We are currently looking for the following roles but we are also open to interviewing any candidates who feel like they will do their best work here - even if your skillset/experience doesn't fit the current defined roles. Our current team doesn't fit the conventional mold, and we don't expect our future hires will either. If you don't fit the advertised roles, just send us a mail per the same process with whatever job title would fit you the best.

Work is in person near Noida Sector 18, walking distance from Sector 18 Metro Station. We prefer in office work, and for you to be located within Delhi/NCR, Pay is competitive (9-12 LPA), and there are opportunities to earn meaningful equity down the line. We prefer current and recent undergraduates for our roles. If you are still in college we welcome you to apply nonetheless provided you can work as an intern for us in person. Super-flexible overall and all of our current team started out as interns. We are not flexible on in-office work because of operational requirements - please do not apply if you can't relocate/work from office.

Hiring across OS, software, and hardware. AI policy across all roles: you should be able to do the work without AI, and much faster with it.

Systems Engineer - Everything at the OS layer. You've rooted phones, flashed custom ROMs, broken and fixed Linux for fun. Comfortable in C/C++. GitHub with kernel-adjacent or LineageOS-type projects a plus. Stack: Android, Linux, C, C++, Java. Filter: send us something you built where you had to fight the OS or hardware.

Hardware Engineer - Bring-up/Debug/Integration - Take EVT/DVT boards and make them work. Comfortable with J-Link and IDE debugging, reading schematics and reference designs. KiCad/Altium/EasyEDA hobby work would make you ideal. PetaLinux experience or hunger to learn it. ECE undergrad fine. Filter: photo of a board you designed or debugged, plus what went wrong.

Hardware Engineer - Power/RF/Wireless - Make the power and RF paths behave on EVT/DVT boards. Hands-on with schematic capture, layout, soldering, scope/logic analyzer. Given two unknowns, you pick one and start measuring. Filter: sensor fusion work, how noise behaves across protocols, and SPI debug chops.

Founder's Office - Work closely with the founder and the rest of the team to manage the day to day and long term affairs of the company, the Man Friday of the company. Must have a decent degree of technical knowledge (we are a tech company after all) and be efficient at administrative tasks as well as management. Speed and learning ability are prized here, there will not always be a clear path to the work you have to do here, so you will have to figure some of it out on your own.

To apply, contact [email protected] with the subject line "HN - Human" and a brief intro for further communication. Attach any documents you deem useful there. Please include the role you are applying for at the top of the email if it is one of the above mentioned, otherwise whatever role fits you best. Shortlisting will be online, interviews will be in person. We are hiring quickly, expect to hear back from us within 2-3 days of applying. If you don't, assume you will not. If you are using an AI agent to mass apply for jobs and we can tell, then you will not hear back. Use an expensive one :P (reiterating this, because we receive so much AI spam now. Thanks for your time!

Proxybase | Backend Systems Engineer (Rust) | Remote, Global | Full-Time

Hi HN, I’m the founder of Proxybase [0]. We’re building a SOCKS5 proxy network focused on transparency and ethical sourcing in the residential proxy market. A quick note for anyone who applied last month: thank you to everyone who reached out. We received far more strong applications than expected, and between running day-to-day operations and working through the backlog, we took much longer to reply than we should have. If you applied last month and haven’t heard back yet, I’m sorry for the delay. We’re actively reviewing those applications alongside this new batch.

Why Proxybase? The residential proxy industry has a rough history. Some providers rely on hidden background scrapers bundled into TV firmware or mobile apps, while others use payout systems that can hold provider funds for months.

We’re trying to build something better: Open-source clients: Our GUI [1] and CLI [2] are fully open source, so anyone can inspect and audit what runs on their device. Explicit consent: Providers knowingly opt in. No stealth bundling. Fair, fast payouts: The minimum payout is $1, sent directly to provider wallets in USD stablecoins. We do not hold funds to earn interest on them.

We’re hiring a Backend Systems Engineer with Rust experience to help build:

Asynchronous SOCKS5 routing infrastructure, Daemon and node orchestration, Automated bandwidth-allocation pipelines

Stack: Rust, Tokio, Axum, SOCKS5, Linux systemd daemons, SQLite

Location: Fully remote, async-friendly, flexible time zones Compensation: Competitive salary plus equity. USD or stablecoin payment options are available.

If you’re interested in building infrastructure for an industry that needs better standards, email [email protected] with your GitHub, résumé, and a short note about what you’ve been working on recently.

I’ll also be around in the comments to answer questions and hear feedback.

Astoria AI | Founding AI Engineer — Agentic Systems | Remote (async) | Full-time | Equity-only pre-seed, $190k-$280k + equity post-seed

Astoria AI is building an agentic runtime for human potential — a suite of specialized AI agents serving candidates and companies across the entire hiring and talent lifecycle: career strategy, networking intelligence, verified matching, compliance-native hiring, onboarding, and retention.

The hiring market is structurally broken: 44% of resumes contain fabrications, ATS filters reject 88% of qualified candidates, and 27% of posted jobs are ghost jobs — while regulation (EU AI Act, Mobley v. Workday, FCRA suits) is forcing enterprises to rethink hiring AI. We're building the fix.

You'll own the intelligence layer: LLM-powered agentic workflows (tool use, structured outputs, multi-step orchestration), RAG/retrieval pipelines, lightweight ML for classification/ranking/entity matching, and evaluation loops for hallucination risk and output quality.

Looking for: 6+ years professional SW engineering (Python/TypeScript/APIs/DBs), hands-on experience with LLM APIs and agentic workflows, and ideally RAG/embeddings/vector DB experience beyond basic chatbots.

Stage: pre-launch, pre-seed, founding team, equity-only until seed round closes (~4-6 months), then competitive salary + refresh grants.

Apply: [email protected] with „HN“ in subject, plus resume or GitHub

Stand | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE

We're building the intelligence layer for physical risk: digital twins of individual homes, run through physics-informed AI World Models, to see exactly how a specific property will perform in a wildfire or hurricane — traditional models only guess at the neighborhood level. That precision lets us do what insurers historically couldn't: measure how much a new roof, cleared vegetation, or better siding actually cuts risk, then price coverage accordingly, turning mitigation into a real financial incentive instead of just advice.

We've scaled to ~$10B in insured assets in just two states in under a year. The interesting problems: ML surrogates that run physics simulations 1,000x+ faster without losing accuracy, structure-level digital twins built from imagery and property data at scale, and systems that reason across risk, cost, and homeowner tradeoffs — we're hiring across engineering and applied science.

Open Roles:

Member of the Technical Staff, AI Harness (Full-time, Hybrid, $270-325k, Offers Equity) - https://www.standinsurance.com/careers/259bb94f-1dfd-458f-88...

Beacon AI builds intelligent systems that make aviation safer and more autonomous. We’ve completed multiple DoD programs and are expanding our team with exceptional technical leaders to push the boundaries of human-machine collaboration in the cockpit. At Beacon, you will lead by example, mentoring and growing a small team of talented engineers (typically 1–2 to start) while staying hands-on in design and execution. You’ll help shape critical systems that advance aviation safety and autonomy, working alongside a team that values effort, creativity, and accountability.

We’re hiring Senior/Lead Engineers with 5+ YOE who love solving complex problems. At Beacon, you’ll own your work end-to-end, from prototype to deployment, and literally see your code take flight in real world aviation environments! Roles:

++ iOS Engineer [Tech Stack: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Mapbox]

++ Senior Security Engineer [SIEM, IDS/IPS, vulnerability scanning, encryption]

++ Infra/Backend Engineer [Tech Stack: AWS]

++ WebApp/FrontEnd Engineer [Tech Stack: Python, Typescript, React]

++ Lead Autonomy/Robotics Engineer [Tech Stack: C++, Python, iOT]

Join us at beaconai.co/careers. Mention in the application that you saw our post on HN.

This is a hybrid role based in San Carlos, CA, with 3+ days per week onsite and the option to work remotely on remaining days.

Due to U.S. export control regulations, we can only hire U.S. Persons (U.S. citizens, Green Card holders, lawful permanent residents, or individuals granted asylum or refugee status).

River (AI voice agents for B2B sales) | New York, NY | ONSITE | Full-time

We build AI voice agents that run live B2B sales calls — real-time voice, browser-driven product demos, automated follow-up. We're pre-seed, backed by the founders of Ramp, Kalshi, and JumpCloud, revenue is on, and demand is already outpacing what we can serve. It's a genuinely fun problem, and we'd love to find the right people to build it with.

We're hiring two founding engineers. To save everyone's time, here's what the role really needs — if a few of these are a strong yes, we'd love to hear from you:

NYC-based and up for working in person (5 days). We're not able to do relocation or visa sponsorship right now. TypeScript/Node as your main production stack — the one you actually ship in day to day. You've shipped real software that real people used — something in production, with revenue, or a startup you built (not tutorials or coursework). You've built something real with LLM APIs. You like owning things end to end — finding the problem and fixing it without waiting for a spec.

Two levels:

Founding Backend Engineer (5+ yrs): real-time/streaming depth (WebRTC, voice, low-latency), plus infra and reliability ownership. Founding Product Engineer (2–4 yrs): frontend-leaning (React/Next.js), customer-facing, CS degree or equivalent standout shipped work.

No need for a formal resume — just send a link to something you're proud of that real people used, and a line on what you owned. We read every one.

New Lantern | https://newlantern.ai | Software engineers (backend and generalist product engineers, founding recruiter) | Full time in San Francisco, CA (ONSITE)

New Lantern is building an AI radiology resident—think Cursor for radiologists. Our application integrates the three software tools radiologists use all day [1], together with AI, to create a platform that saves radiologists toil and lets them focus on reading images and finding disease.

We are a series A startup with ~20 engineers (~40 total staff), have a number of live customers generating revenue, plenty of runway, and are backed by Benchmark, Anthropic, and other great investors. Our customers have told us they would cry if they couldn't use our product anymore.

We're hiring for backend and product engineering, as well as a founding recruiter to help us scale. You'll work directly with our founder/CEO, our staff radiologists, and our end users to build a product that radiologists rely on daily. You'll have real ownership and autonomy, and ship meaningful work frequently.

I'm Steve, New Lantern's Head of Engineering. If you're interested or want to learn more, shoot me a note at (my HN username)@newlantern.ai. I've already hired one engineer from HN this year and interviewed many more!
