Cerity Partners (https://ceritypartners.com) | Data Engineer | Full Time | Hybrid NYC
We are a RIA looking for an incredibly inquisitive person who enjoys rolling their sleeves up and diving into data. Technology is only part of the role. Working with stakeholders--and understanding what their pain points are--is more important than optimizing a query.

Sunspell | Founding Engineer | New York, NY | ONSITE | Full-time | https://sunspell.fm/careers/founding-engineer
Six-person venture lab in New York. We build our own products. A studio arm does client work, is profitable, and pays for the rest.
Our founder ran her own design studio and was the founding design partner on Partiful, on Sentropy before Discord bought it, on Goldcast before Cvent, on Make before Celonis, and on Descartes Labs. She builds here now instead of for other people.
You would own the production application around our intelligence layer. Architecture, frontend, backend, Postgres, durable execution state, retries and idempotency, permissions, deploys, and the data-heavy interfaces people work inside all day: tables, relationships, filters, history, approvals. React and TypeScript at depth, Node or Python behind it. We write a lot of MCP servers and build with Claude Code daily.
Seven-plus years shipping, hands on code within the last year. Design and engineering sit in the same room here. There is no handoff.
Most people who apply like the words "founding engineer." We are looking for someone who has already started something of their own.
Ownership. You should own a piece of what you build here. We are not going to post a percentage, because the honest answer depends on what you end up carrying, and we would rather work that out with you than hand you a number that pretends to be precise. It is a conversation, it is flexible, and we intend it to be fair.
We are six people. Nothing you build goes through a committee before it ships. Nothing you break, you fix alone. We are a tight team today and we are looking to double it by the end of the year.
Please send your resume or GitHub, plus the most ambitious thing you have built mostly on your own. Rough work that worked beats polished that never shipped.
If this is not you but a name comes to mind, please pass it along. :)

Noricum | Senior Backend Engineer, Payments, Ledger & Provable Fairness | REMOTE (2h overlap with US Pacific) | Contract to permanent | $120-160/hr | Start by 14 Sep
I'm the founder of Noricum where we build platforms – currently the money infrastructure, ledger, engine and payment rails behind a pre-launch wagering platform with a Steam skins economy. The games, a cashier and a bet ledger are built and live as a front end, with written specs for the server contract: ledger schema, refusal table, round lifecycle, every game's arithmetic. Processing and licensing are secured. The server does not exist. That is the job. You would own:
- A server-authoritative game engine - seeds, nonces, outcome computation - A double-entry ledger where balance is derived and no client write can change it - Server-side enforcement of every limit and refusal - Payment rails idempotent under duplicated webhooks - Seed custody and the provably-fair lifecycle - An affiliate system with referral attribution and commission payouts
Must have shipped: a double-entry ledger or equivalent money system in production, a payment integration including webhook idempotency, auth and sessions you built and operated, and infrastructure you owned end to end. Provably-fair systems, settlement-side gaming or trading infra, or Steam trade automation all stand out.
Email [email protected] with your start date and a few lines on the last money system you shipped - what it guaranteed, and how you knew it held.

Modash.io | Senior Product Engineer | Remote (Europe) | Full-time | €75k–110k | https://modash.io
Modash helps brands find, manage, and pay creators - and helps creators earn a living.
The product looks simple on the surface. Underneath, we index 380M+ public creator profiles across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube so that 1,700+ brands search, evaluate, manage, and pay creators without drowning in spreadsheets and tabs.
We're looking for Senior Product Engineers who like owning ambiguous problems end-to-end. No perfectly shaped tickets. You talk to customers, understand messy workflows, make product decisions, ship, and own whether it actually works.
The problems we care about:
- How do you make a 380M-profile dataset feel fast, trustworthy, and easy to explore?
- How do you turn chaotic influencer marketing workflows into product that feels obvious?
- How do you build tools that work for both small teams and brands like Stanley, Sennheiser, Birkenstock, and NordVPN??
We're 85 people, raised an €11M Series A, and ARR is doubling every year. HQ is in Tallinn, engineering is fully remote across Europe. No ticket factory. No seven layers of approval. Small teams, real ownership, hard product problems.

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.

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).

Stpkr Technologies | Noida, India (Delhi NCR) | ONSITE | Multiple roles
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.

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.
