We're building an intimate device that responds in real time to a live AI-generated story and to her body: an app-connected, sensor-equipped vibrator synced to an interactive audio story that AI performs live. The device follows the story, and the story follows her body. Our first 1,000 pre-orders sold out, and we've raised a $1.5M pre-seed. All-woman founding team (CEO is an exited founder and HBS grad; CTO is a multi-time founder and MIT alum; COO/CPO helped lead Wattpad to a $650M exit).

This is employee #1. You'll own hardware architecture, review and change our China partners' schematics and C/C++ BLE firmware (ESP32 / nRF), co-design the BLE protocol under tight latency budgets, integrate the IMU and body sensors (separating real body signals from the device's own vibration), and take us from prototype through EVT/DVT, certification and production, with trips to Shenzhen at key milestones.

You've shipped connected hardware end to end (consumer, wearable, medical or robotics), have 8+ years building hardware products with hands-on embedded work, and have been through at least one production ramp with a contract manufacturer. Bonus: haptics/motor control (ERM/LRA, PWM, waveform tuning), real-time systems, body-worn sensing, FCC/CE/Bluetooth SIG certification.

Apply: email [email protected] with your resume or LinkedIn and a short note on one product you shipped: what you owned, the hardest hardware problem you solved, and how you knew it worked.

Mozilla / Thunderbird / Thunderbolt | Staff Product Engineer, Enterprise AI | REMOTE (US or Canada) | Full-Time | $185K–$220K USD / $155K–$185K CAD | https://grnh.se/viz7vum71us

We're building Thunderbolt (https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbolt). We're an 8-person and growing team within the ~60-person company behind Thunderbird, the open-source email client used by 20M+ people.

Thunderbolt is an open-source, cross-platform AI product built on the principle that people and organizations should be in control of their data, infrastructure, and model choices. It's moving from early development into enterprise use cases, and we need someone to own features end to end — concept through launch, adoption, and iteration — not just close tickets.

You'd work full-stack on AI-powered chat, search, research, workflow automation, admin, and integrations. We're looking for 10+ years of engineering experience at Staff scope, hands-on AI product work (LLMs, RAG, agents, retrieval, model/provider abstraction), and comfort in ambiguity — architecture and enterprise requirements are still being defined.

CTM | https://ctm.com/ | Looking for great engineers

Arrangr | Growth Lead, Expansion & Lifecycle | REMOTE | Fixed-fee project ($12K, milestone-based) + equity tied to ARR results → founding role | https://arrangr.com

Arrangr is a scheduling platform with tens of thousands of registered users and hundreds of thousands of people reached through scheduling invitations. Calendly is the incumbent, and it's good. Our thesis: booking links make it efficient to fill your calendar, not productive. Every open slot looks identical, so your best hours go to whoever clicks first. Arrangr schedules by importance.

The opportunity: we can see which companies already have several people using Arrangr individually. Each of those is an unmonetized team. You'd build the motion that converts them (in-product surface, sequences, landing page, pilot) and handle the replies it generates: seats, admin rights, security questions. Then reactivate a large dormant base and fix acquisition.

The engagement: five milestones over roughly three months, $12K paid on milestone completion, milestones 1 and 2 contracted first. "Done" means shipped, instrumented and measured against a baseline. Equity is a defined grant tied to new ARR booked; hitting the middle tier triggers a founding title. Engineering time is limited, so you ship within existing product surfaces.

Right for you if you've run PQL-to-team expansion and reactivation against a base in the tens of thousands. Not for CRO specialists (our volume won't support the testing), paid media buyers, or anyone who wants to manage a team. There is no team. You're it.

To apply: no cover letter. Email [email protected] with three links to things you personally built, one line each on what the numbers did. Plus one answer: we can see which companies have several individual users. How would you turn that into team conversions, and have you run that motion before?

I read and reply to every one. – Adam, co-founder/CEO

You’ll write backend code in TypeScript/Node.js, build APIs with Lambda and API Gateway, model data in DynamoDB, and design event-driven workflows and integrations. Infrastructure lives in code using AWS CDK, with CI/CD pipelines for builds and deployments. You’ll help decide how systems are designed and take testing, observability and security into account as you build. There’s some React/Next.js work too.

We’re looking for practical experience building AWS serverless applications with TypeScript/Node.js, including infrastructure as code, CI/CD and event-driven design. The role includes working through requirements and technical decisions with clients, so you should be comfortable with that.

We use coding agents daily and expect you to use them too, and to share useful approaches with other developers. AWS serverless development is the main focus of the role.

We’re remote-first, use Scrum, and work with code reviews, pair programming, and unit and integration tests. We meet in person regularly, sometimes in Cologne, sometimes in Austria or Mallorca. We plan travel around family commitments.

You must be based in Germany and speak business-fluent German and good English. We don’t offer visa sponsorship.

€75k–80k, 32 days of vacation, hardware of your choice, and company-paid AI tool subscriptions.

Send your CV to [email protected] – no cover letter needed. Questions before applying are welcome.

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, ~16 people, $8M from Greylock, 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)

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

Checkly | https://www.checklyhq.com | Senior Product Engineer, Product Manager, Senior Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer | REMOTE (Europe / US Eastern) | Full-time

The best developers don't wait for a customer to tell them something's broken. They catch it first, in the pull request, in staging, or in the checkout flow at 3am, before a single user notices. That instinct is Checkly's whole reason to exist. We give developers and their agents the tools to own reliability the way they own their code: monitoring defined as code, powered by OpenTelemetry and Playwright, versioned and reviewed like everything else they ship. From pull request to post-mortem, in one place.

Open roles:

- Senior Product Engineer (DevTools & AI reliability) - remote, UTC-3 to UTC+3 - Product Manager (DevTools & AI Reliability) - remote UTC-3 to UTC+3 - Senior Sales Engineer - remote Europe (UTC+1 to UTC+2) - Sales Engineer - remote US, Eastern time zone

Shepherd (Series B) | ONSITE | San Francisco, CA & New York City, NY

At Shepherd, we're pursuing the most ambitious technical vision in commercial insurance: fully autonomous underwriting. Shepherd is an AI-native commercial insurance platform transforming how high-hazard industries get covered.

The infrastructure behind the AI boom (data centers, semiconductor fabs, renewable energy assets) has to be built and insured, but traditional carriers weren't built for this speed. We built Shepherd to solve that.

We announced our $42M Series B earlier this year! That brings our total funding to over $60M — led by Intact Private Capital, the investment arm of one of the largest insurers in the world. Intact is not only our lead investor but also a carrier partner, a testament to the confidence the incumbent industry has in what we're building.

We’re looking for product-minded, high ownership engineers to join our team! The Engineering team is HQ’d in SF, but we’re growing in NYC now too!

We’re hiring for 2 Senior Full Stack Software Engineers, 1 Machine Learning Engineer and 1 AI Product Manager in SF, and 2 Staff Full Stack Software Engineers in NYC. Engineers own projects end-to-end so full stack ability is expected.

Check out our open roles here: https://shepherdinsurance.com/careers Our stack includes: Typescript, React, Next.js, GraphQL w/ Apollo, Node.js, Postgres & Redis – If you have experience building AI agents or multi-step reasoning systems, we’d love to hear from you.

* In the form, be sure to mention that you heard about this opportunity via Hacker News. If you want to read more about our team and culture, check out our blog: https://shepherdinsurance.com/blog

JustPark | Senior Software Engineer, Reporting | Hybrid: Dallas, TX | Full-Time/Perm | Competitive salary + Benefits.

Apply at: https://apply.workable.com/j/FE43DE896A

JustPark is the premier partner offering both B2B solutions for destinations and B2C services for drivers, giving us the best of both worlds. We simplify the entire parking experience. From venues and councils to private driveways, our platform makes it simple for drivers to find, book, and pay for parking—while empowering our operating partners to deliver exceptional parking experiences.

Join the JustPark Reporting team. You'll build, ship and maintain the data platform and reporting products behind our venue operations, used at venues like Mercedes Benz Stadium, The Greek Theatre and The O2 Arena. Following the 2024 merger of ParkHub and JustPark, we're scaling internationally, which means distributed systems, teams, and interesting problems at the intersection of payments, data and real time event operations. This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll own meaningful pieces of our platform from design through production, including keeping them healthy on live event days. We're an AI native engineering team: engineers use Claude Code, Copilot and Cursor as daily tools for code generation, review, debugging and documentation, and we build MCP integrations that connect our AI tools directly to Jira, Confluence, Slack and internal APIs so engineers stay in flow. You'll work closely with Product, QA, and our UK engineering and data teams to shape the data strategy of a fast growing international company.

Some of what you'll be doing: -Design, build and ship backend services and streaming data pipelines in Go that handle real world scale -Own data end to end: event schema and contract design, durable messaging patterns, and the read models and warehouse tables analytics is served from -Build financial data flows, including payment processor ingestion, fee reconciliation and ledger backed reporting -Ingest and reconcile third party data (partner files and payment processor APIs) with idempotent, replayable backfills -Develop and evolve API and GraphQL serving layers that power our internal and external products -Migrate existing reporting paths onto the new architecture

Human8e Ltd | Applied cryptographer, protocol review | REMOTE (worldwide) | Contract, fixed fee

We're an early-stage UK company building a mobile application, funded by its founder (just me), which is why the scope below is deliberately narrow.

I'm looking for an applied cryptographer to review a protocol specification before it ships. It is small and specific: three messages, two parties, signature-based, using hardware-backed keys on both iOS and Android. It uses standard primitives only (ECDSA over P-256, SHA-256) and invents no new cryptography; the question is how they are combined. The specification is written and frozen, with test vectors and the generator that produces them.

What I want is a competent second opinion on whether it is sound: six specific questions answered in writing. Not an open-ended audit or a penetration test. The person I'm looking for has either published on protocol security or reviews protocols professionally; being good with crypto libraries isn't quite the same thing.

One piece of contract work, not a role. Under a short mutual NDA.

Email [email protected] by Sunday 4 October with a short summary of the protocol analysis you've done, and I'll send scope, timing and what I'd need from you.

Sidekick Labs | Senior SWE, R&D Engineer, Intelligence Engineer | REMOTE (US Timezones) | Full-time | $170k to $230k Base + Equity + Health

Sidekick builds AI security software for enterprises. Our sensors observe AI behavior and use in situ. From those observations, our reasoning pipeline produces an application inventory and a risk picture, allowing us to provide real-time intervention and coaching right when it matters.

Compensation: base salary scaled to experience, meaningful early-stage equity, and 100% covered health insurance for you and your immediate family

We are a highly senior team. Most of us have been founders or on early founding teams, so we operate with high ownership. We expect you to have a real, current AI-assisted development practice. Our system spans several languages, and we expect you to use AI tools to quickly navigate unfamiliar parts of the codebase so you can comfortably own problems end-to-end across a broad stack.

We are hiring for three roles:

- Senior Software Engineer: You will work across our event-driven architecture. You'll write Go and Python backend services and touch endpoint-deployed browser and desktop components. You need to be comfortable developing in a multi-tenant, microservice-driven SaaS architecture and understand typical scale and security implications for such products.

- R&D Engineer: This is not an open-ended research function. You will take ambiguous feasibility questions tied to our roadmap and return defensible answers inside a week. You'll build handoff-ready prototypes, then shift into engineering mode to personally drive them through to production. You will also define operational envelopes and degradation boundaries, and rigorously deprecate infeasible ideas with documented rationale to avoid future re-litigation.

- Intelligence and Data Processing Engineer: This role is for someone who loves real browser and desktop forensics. You'll use dev tools and debuggers as your primary instruments. Expect to be reading minified code to find where state lives and analyzing network logs to understand undocumented APIs. You will figure out how AI products work and build the prototyping and automation to maintain our software inventory.

To apply: Send an email to [email protected] with the role in the subject. Include a PDF of your resume, a quick sentence or two about a tough technical problem you've solved recently, and links to your GitHub, personal site, and/or LinkedIn.

I'm Eric, VP of Technology, and I will personally read every email sent to the HN subaddress. You can view my background here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/three-two-one

Fazeshift | Senior Software Engineer | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE (5 days/week) | Full-time | $200k–$235k + equity

I’m Chris, VP Engineering at Fazeshift. We’re nine engineers plus our Founder/CTO and me, and I’m hiring someone who can help us do more, better: increase both what we can build and the quality and sophistication of the software we build.

Accounts receivable sounds boring until you look under the hood. It sits at the intersection of money, business relationships, software systems of various vintages, and a huge amount of repetitive human work. Instead of giving finance teams another dashboard to stare at, we’re building AI agents that actually do the work across billing, collections, payments, cash application, and the systems connecting them. We’ve grown revenue 12x since 2024, and eight unicorns now run AR on Fazeshift.

A big part of what makes the engineering interesting is that we’re intentionally not the system of record. Our customers already run on ERPs, CRMs, banks, billing systems, payment processors, spreadsheets, and internal software, so we have to understand state across systems we don’t control, act safely in them, and recover when reality disagrees with what an API says should have happened. A timeout doesn’t necessarily mean a write failed. Webhooks can arrive late or twice. A payment may not contain enough information to identify an invoice. In those cases, blindly retrying can be exactly the wrong thing to do.

We use coding agents heavily ourselves. Engineers use Conductor, stacked PRs, Linear, and multiple frontier models every day, with internal skills and tooling that let agents drive and validate our local development environment. We’re especially interested in engineers whose development workflow has already materially changed because of coding agents: people who are comfortable delegating meaningful work, keeping independent threads moving in parallel, debugging where agents get stuck, and improving the surrounding system when the workflow breaks down. But generated code is still your code. Judgment, debugging, systems thinking, taste, and understanding what actually shipped matter more here, not less.

Our development style is roughly: design enough to find the shape of the problem, then build to learn. There’s a short distance here between noticing a problem, deciding what should happen, building it, and seeing the result in production with our customers. You’ll own meaningful problems from ambiguity through design, implementation, rollout, and production, and you’ll work directly with the people affected by what you build.

We’re looking for 5+ years of professional experience, strong TypeScript/full-stack skills, solid systems judgment, and real production ownership. No fintech background needed. Stack: TypeScript/Next.js, tRPC, Prisma/MySQL/PlanetScale, Inngest, AWS.

I read every HN application myself. Email [email protected] with HN in the subject, your LinkedIn/GitHub/résumé, and a few sentences about something interesting you’ve built or improved recently.
