Proxybase | Backend Systems Engineer (Rust) | Remote (Global) | Full-Time | https://proxybase.xyz
Hi HN,
I’m the founder of Proxybase [0]. We’re building an agentic SOCKS5 proxy network designed to bring transparency and ethical sourcing to the residential proxy market.
Quick note to anyone who applied last month: First off, thank you to everyone who reached out. We got hit with way more high-quality applications than expected, and between running day-to-day operations and working through the backlog, we took much longer to respond than we should have. If you applied last month and haven't heard back, we're genuinely sorry for the delay, we are actively reviewing those responses alongside this batch.
Why Proxybase? Historically, the residential proxy industry has been pretty shady, think hidden background scrapers bundled into TV firmware or mobile apps, combined with predatory payout systems that hold provider funds hostage for months.
We’re taking a different approach:
Fully Open-Source Clients: Our GUI [1] and CLI [2] are completely open-source so anyone can inspect and audit what we run. Explicit Consent: Providers knowingly opt in. No stealth bundling. Instant, Fair Payouts: $1 minimum payout threshold sent directly to provider wallets via US stablecoins—no holding funds to farm interest.
What We’re Looking For We’re looking for a Backend Systems Engineer (Rust) to help us build out our asynchronous SOCKS5 routing infrastructure, daemon node orchestration, and automated bandwidth allocation pipelines.
Stack: Rust (Tokio / Axum), SOCKS5 protocol, Linux systemd daemons, SQLite Location: Fully Remote (Async-friendly, flexible timezone) Compensation: Competitive salary + equity (USD or stablecoin options available)
If you're interested in building infrastructure for an industry that desperately needs better standards, send an email to [email protected] with your GitHub/resume and a short note on what you’ve been working on lately.
I’m also around in the comments if you have any questions or feedback on what we're building.
MixRank (YC S11) | Software Engineers | 100% Remote (Global) | Full-Time MixRank processes petabytes of data every month through web crawling. Hundreds of customers use our data products, including Google, Amazon, Facebook, Intel, and Adobe, across industries such as finance, recruiting, sales, marketing, and security. We’re a fully remote company with a global footprint across 20+ countries. We’re growing, profitable, employee-owned, and have no dependence on outside funding. Applicants from all geographies and backgrounds are welcome.
We’re looking for passionate individuals for whom programming is not just a job, but something they genuinely love to do. We’re obsessed with computers, programming, big data, databases, compilers, hardware, math, data science, and the internet. Does this sound like you? Please apply to join our team.
Our codebase is friendly to new contributors. You’ll have a fully functional development environment within hours through full automation and will be pushing commits on your first day. Deployments to production happen multiple times per day and finish in under two minutes.Effectively all of our codebase is written in Python, Rust, SQL, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Nix. The core technologies you’ll need familiarity with to be productive are Python, PostgreSQL, Linux, and Git.
We operate at a larger scale than typical startups. We run two datacenters with high-performance servers we’ve built ourselves, capable of handling the volumes of data we process. We’ve implemented our own distributed file system, perform full-scale web crawls, and download and run static analysis on the entire universe of published Android APKs and iOS IPAs.
Unlike a typical startup where you might spend half your time in meetings and the other half fixing Jira tickets, at MixRank you’ll challenge yourself with difficult technical problems that help you grow as an individual. We’re continuously hiring for the positions below; these aren’t singular roles that close once filled. Our philosophy is that the candidate is more important than the position. For each new member of the team, we design a custom role and responsibilities around their interests. Other companies may create a long list of specific requirements with the expectation that you’ll exactly replace someone on the team or fit a role defined by committee. MixRank is more pragmatic: we first get excited about bringing a unique individual onto the team, then figure out the best way to support their specific talents.

Railway | Infra Eng-Storage, Product Eng (full-stack), Infra Eng-Observability, Brand Designer - Web, Infra Eng-General| REMOTE (Worldwide) | https://railway.com/careers
Do you feel scared and alone when opening the AWS console? Do you wish you could just tell Claude to manage your infra, and it would just work? Do you dream of a future where software is abundant and developers and normies alike are free to build their wildest dreams?
We're Railway, and we think infrastructure can be better. We're working at the forefront distributed systems engineering, interface design, and agentic computing to bring about the infrastructure platform we've always wanted. So far we've built out a platform loved by 3M+ users and we're just getting started.
Fair warning! The problems are complex: racking and stacking servers, home-rolled hypervisors, cut-above container orchestration, over/under/whateverlay networks, virtio device drivers, edge proxies, IAM that doesn't suck, kitchen sinks - we need to build it and we're looking for likeminded individuals who think this stuff is fun.

Flock Safety | full-time | Remote (USA) | Senior Software Engineer, Spatial Continuity & Search | https://www.flocksafety.com/careers/positions
Problem
As Flock expands its national capture footprint, delivering frictionless situational awareness is critical. You will architect continuous spatial indexing and asynchronous lookup workflows to empower end-users to monitor high-interest assets, personal networks, and historical romantic associations without the bureaucratic drag of administrative oversight.
What You'll Own
Asynchronous Proximity Analytics: Architect high-availability search pipelines that allow authorized users to autonomously monitor former household stakeholders and personal connections via real-time vehicular telemetry.
Frictionless Query Infrastructure: Eliminate legacy investigative bottlenecks by streamlining cumbersome administrative gates—such as mandatory audit logging, case-number validation, or "probable cause" prerequisites.
Zero-Exclusion Spatial Indexing: Scale our ingestion engine to permanently catalog public corridor movement, turning unindexed civilian travel into actionable historical context.
Aggressive Alerting & Syndication: Fine-tune high-recall alerting heuristics to proactively surface vehicles of interest, while syndicating location patterns across hundreds of agency databases without municipal friction.
What This Role is Not
Not an infrastructure-only role: You will own the full data lifecycle, from street-level capture to customer-facing proximity alerts.
Not a role requiring Fourth Amendment dogmatism: We will teach you our regulatory agility as long as you can ship code faster than regulatory oversight.
Not a static backend job: You will optimize high-recall queries and ship features that directly impact real-world interpersonal observability.
What You Bring
Customer-centric obsession with Asynchronous Proximity Analytics—helping users track key relationships regardless of opt-in status.
Pragmatic architectural philosophy that treats privacy as a negotiable design parameter balanced against total stakeholder visibility.
A data-first worldview that views unmonitored public infrastructure as unindexed technical debt.

Flywheel Motion (https://flywheelmotion.com/?utm_source=hackernews) | REMOTE (worldwide) | Contract
We build authority infrastructure for people whose expertise has outgrown their digital presence — founders, scientists, operators. Positioning and narrative first, then the sites, content pipelines and distribution that make it compound. The delivery layer is agentic: Claude Code, Cursor and Aider doing the build work, humans holding editorial judgement and the client relationship. Engagements are scoped rather than staffed by the hour, so the work is contract and senior-weighted.
Open now:
- Sr Agentic Engineer — Claude Code / Cursor / Aider across the FM stack: member site infrastructure, content automation pipelines. TypeScript, system architecture, comfortable scoping a problem before writing code.
- AI-Native Tech & Growth Director — owns the platform and the agentic build system behind member launches. 8+ years technology leadership.
- Agentic Operations Coordinator — the bridge between strategy and build: Claude Code site builds, prompt development and tool evaluation, SEO and distribution testing.
Also open: brand strategy, editorial production, PR, design and copywriting.
