We’re all ex-Unity/Google folks working on making great SDKs and tools for multiplayer game development, and we need more people!
Reasons you’d love working with us:
* Work with a small, focused, and extremely talented team of developers.
* Fully remote job with flexible working hours and vacation.
* High-quality codebase, code reviews, tests.
* High work satisfaction, own entire features, and work on an SDK that’s already used by 100,000+ developers.

Purplefish is transforming the trillion-dollar talent industry with powerful AI agents that will fully automate most hiring processes end-to-end.
We are funded by 8VC, and Adam and I previously worked closely together to launch 145 companies at the venture studio Fractal Software out of a $650 million fund. Before that I was a staff software engineer at Lyft, and Adam was CRO at Wonderkind ($100m+ ARR). It's early days, but we have a deep bench of design partners lined up that we are going to be onboarding starting in the coming weeks.
We're building a small and world-class team of technical people in-person in NYC. We're working on really cool problems with multimodal AI agents (and some really not cool problems like ATS and HRIS integrations). I'm trying to build the engineering team that I would want to join, which to me means a high emphasis on agency, purpose, technical excellence, collaboration, learning and velocity.
If that's interesting, let's talk.
We’re a mission-driven startup using AI to improve the quality of medical care. We’re already slashing documentation time and optimizing coding/compliance for hundreds of US organizations. Our team of 30 passionate, hardworking, and friendly innovators (8 in eng/R&D) grew 6x last year, and we're just getting started. Seeking one backend and one frontend focused full stack engineer to tackle our toughest challenges.
Backend Focus: Golang, Python, PostgreSQL, AWS, BigQuery, GCP - Scale our data pipeline and AI model deployment - Wrangle messy clinical datasets - Evolve our REST API (already processing 100K+ daily requests) - Collaborate with MDs and PhDs on cutting-edge med-tech
Frontend Focus: Typescript, React, Python, AWS - Join user feedback sessions and build out high-yield features end-to-end - Design user interfaces to support AI features and admin/business logic - Update related backend APIs - Scope, plan, and deliver on complex projects with minimal direction
If you thrive on autonomy, love solving complex problems, and want to make a real impact in healthcare, we want you! Ready to help clinicians take better care of their patients?

Correction: Hiring in all US States!
This really ought to be included in the comment, since it excludes a large portion of potential applicants.
The FAANG companies over-hiring and dumping hundreds of thousands of unemployed engineers (and other tangential fields) on the market has destroyed the industry.
Regardless, yes, it’s bullshit and harmful to equity in hiring. I’m certainly not defending it.
Since we’re on a site run by YC, I should note that a version of the same “record a video” requirement is part of the standard YC application, with some of the same downsides for equitable venture capital investment decisions. Of course, a big difference is that venture capital investment decisions are entirely outside of the scope of discrimination law as currently enacted everywhere I know of, despite being very close in effect and power dynamics to hiring decisions in an employment context.
e.g. from the YC app "Founder Video Please record a one minute video introducing the founder(s).* Make sure the file does not exceed 100 MB. Read more about the video here."
We're looking to confirm that applicants can clearly and concisely communicate by describing something challenging they've done. Our goal is to efficiently find thoughtful applicants.
We're proud of our team, with folks from a variety of backgrounds. Clarity of thought is distributed across populations. :)
Consider clarifying that the applicant should not themselves be visible in the video, to reduce the risk of discrimination in favor of certain ethnicities or against others. To be clear, my suggested requirement is that the visuals in the video must support the content but that the video must not depict the appearance of the applicant.
In the hypothetical alternate reality where one can trust that applicants would not represent the work of someone else or of generative AI as their own, I would also encourage replacing the audio with text to speech, so as to reduce the risk of discrimination based on the perceived gender or the particular accent of the applicant. Unfortunately, I don’t think one can trust arbitrary applicants to be that honest, so the ability to recognize the voice from the video in subsequent interviews still provides some useful authentication value. I would like a better solution there but don’t have one to offer right now.
Happy to clarify for folks, thanks!
We are hiring in all States. That limitation was incorrectly included. Thank you!
