[ 0.46 ms ] story [ 276 ms ] threadJoin us at Snout on our mission to ensure no one ever has to make a health decision for their pet based on the cash in their bank account. Snout plans pay for 100% of routine veterinary care, unlimited visits, and additional member benefits - think pet insurance, that you will actually use every year.
We're growing the team and hiring across the board. Open roles:
Full-Stack Software Engineer - Build and ship every day across our web apps, payments, and data systems, from database to UI.
Frontend Engineer - Spend ~80% of your time building the React/Tailwind experience clinics and pet owners rely on, and ~20% in the Node/PostgreSQL backend behind it.
Backend Engineer - Spend ~80% of your time on the services, data systems, and payments infrastructure behind our wellness plans, and ~20% in the React frontend.
Data Engineer - Own how data moves through Snout: pipelines, ETL, and integrations, including getting data out of the on-prem software clinics already run.
Platform Engineer (cloud operations, developer experience, security) - Own our AWS environment, CI/CD pipelines, developer experience, and platform security - the foundation the whole team ships on.
Product Manager - Own discovery-to-delivery for our wellness platform, working shoulder to shoulder with engineering and the rest of the business.
QA Engineer - Own quality across the platform: test strategy, automation, and the release confidence that lets a small team ship fast.
Applied AI Engineer - Put LLMs to work across the product and the business, from customer-facing features to internal tooling.
Across all roles we're looking for at least three years of relevant experience, and we're hiring senior and staff level engineers as well.
Our tech stack includes Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, AWS, Tailwind, and Python. We use both JavaScript and TypeScript heavily. Our team uses LLM-based tooling day to day, but we're fundamentally a human-centric team, and our product itself does not heavily feature AI components.
To apply please email kyle@snout.com.
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.
All roles: https://flywheelmotion.com/en/careers/?utm_source=hackernews...
We are a non-profit working to make teaching materials for schools better, more affordable, and more flexible, in both digital and print formats.
Working hours and office cadence are flexible and agreed based on the role. Dutch proficiency is required. We offer highly competitive compensation.
Technology stack: Git monorepo, TypeScript, Yjs and React, some Python, OpenTofu/Terraform, Scaleway, managed PostgreSQL, and managed Kubernetes.
Open roles:
- Senior/Lead Platform & DevOps Engineer
- Senior Backend Engineer/Architect
- Senior Frontend Engineer
- Senior Full-Stack Engineer

SmarterDx builds clinical AI for one of healthcare’s most broken systems: how hospitals get paid for the care they actually deliver.
Our physician-designed clinical AI platform reviews the clinical record, understands the nuance of patient care, and helps hospitals capture appropriate reimbursement across the revenue cycle. The core problem is hard: messy clinical data, complex regulations, payer rules, medical reasoning, and real financial stakes. When we get it right, hospitals recover millions in earned revenue, reduce manual review burden, and keep clinical and revenue teams focused on higher-value work.
We’ve hit serious scale while keeping the team unusually strong and technical: MD/data scientist hybrids, Stanford LLM researchers, former Google and Amazon engineers, former ASF board member, and others who are among the best in their fields. Many teammates have been here since we bootstrapped to $1M+ in contracted revenue before raising capital.
In 2025, SmarterDx became part of Smarter Technologies through a $1.1B deal with New Mountain Capital, reaching unicorn status while continuing to operate with the autonomy, urgency, and product velocity that got us here. Before that, we raised $71M from Floodgate, Transformation Capital, and Bessemer, including a $50M Series B.
We have real product-market fit: 85+ health systems, 300+ hospital sites, rapid customer growth, and 150% YoY headcount growth (currently at ~550). Now we’re scaling the platform.

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 and 1 Staff SWE in SF, and 2 Staff SWE 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.

Senzing builds enterprise entity-resolution SDK technology — an embeddable library that runs entirely inside customer infrastructure with zero data exfiltration. We're hiring a platform engineer to own AWS infrastructure for Placekey (our location-data subsidiary, production API at scale) and support Senzing's core ops.
This isn't a keep-the-lights-on role. We just completed an infra migration and are actively modernizing. You'd own day-to-day operations, harden the new environment, and have real input on where it goes.
Stack: EKS Fargate, Aurora PostgreSQL, S3, Lambda, Cloudflare, API gateway (Kong/AWS), Terraform, Grafana/CloudWatch/Datadog. Apps are Scala and Rust. Looking for: 5+ years platform/cloud infra, production Kubernetes (EKS ideal), managed Postgres (backup/recovery/tuning), IaC, solid networking, strong Python/Bash.
Remote anywhere in the USA. Competitive salary, full health/dental/vision, 401(k) match, flexible PTO.
To apply: email enghiring@senzing.com with your resume and a short note — tell us about a challenging production system you've owned end to end, including an incident where your monitoring missed something and what you changed afterward.
We're building software that helps employers replace traditional group health insurance with individual plans, making healthcare less expensive and easier to navigate for everyone involved. We're doing it now because recent regulatory changes and advances in AI have made it possible. We're building at the intersection of healthcare, fintech, compliance, and AI.
Implementation is getting cheaper; engineering judgment is not.
We're looking for engineers who enjoy turning ambiguous problems into production systems, working across product and architecture, reviewing AI-generated code, building leverage through automation, and shipping quickly without creating a maintenance disaster.
Strong Python or TypeScript experience (or equivalent), good judgment, and good communication are more important to us than checking every box. US residency required, with a preference for candidates in the Eastern Time Zone or nearby.
Apply at https://engineering.kyra.health.
Questions are welcome at n@kyra.health, but applications sent by email will not be reviewed. Please apply through the website.

Checkly is the active reliability layer for developers and agents — we unify testing, synthetic monitoring, and observability into a single AI-native workflow, so engineering teams (and the agents shipping alongside them) can catch issues before customers do.
We're hiring two roles on our Sales team to help customers get the most out of Checkly — supporting technical evaluations, answering implementation questions, and working directly with Product and Engineering on what we learn from customers.
Senior Sales Engineer (remote, Europe, UTC+1 to UTC+2) — https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/checkly/39dceb59-01f6-43c9-9629-105...
Sales Engineer (remote, ET +/-1, e.g. US East Coast, Argentina) — https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/checkly/639d6329-ae5e-4fef-8641-d07...
Both roles want someone with a technical background (engineering, technical consultancy, professional services, or dev rel), comfortable reading/writing/debugging code (JS/Node.js preferred), who genuinely enjoys talking to customers and running demos. We use AI tools like Claude Code and Codex daily to accelerate customer-facing work.
Transparent, published salary bands, stock options, and an annual company on-site. Our hiring playbook and employee handbook are open-source if you want to see how we work before applying: https://www.checklyhq.com/careers/
We’re looking to scale our engineering leadership team with technical leaders who want to raise the impact of a high-performing organization.
* Not Your Traditional "Jira-Manager": Our EMs are not classic delivery coordinators who shuffle meetings or build heavy processes. Instead, you will own people, hiring bar, technical judgment, and the health of our engineering systems.
* High-Autonomy Team: Because 80%+ of our engineering team is Senior–Staff+ level, our engineers already possess a high degree of ownership. Your focus is less on day-to-day task coordination and more on coaching independent owners, managing ambiguity, and raising team impact.
* Technically Credible Leaders: You will stay close enough to the work to challenge assumptions, review proposals, spot maintainability issues, and jump into the code to debug alongside engineers when needed.
* Organizational Advocates: Beyond your immediate team, you will act as an advocate owning the health and metrics of org-wide areas—ranging from CI/CD health and developer productivity to customer success collaboration and on-call sustainability.
* 100% Remote Async Culture: We maintain an even distribution of engineers across North America and Europe, optimizing for minimal process and maximum focus.
* Here's how we're thinking about AI at Ashby:https://www.ashbyhq.com/blog/engineering/ai-ashby-engineerin...
* Full transparency on engineering levels + comp:https://www.ashbyhq.com/blog/engineering/leveling-and-compen...
Stack: TypeScript (frontend & backend), React, GraphQL API, Node.js, Postgres, Redis. (While you won't always be shipping code, you are expected to hold a deep technical understanding of the system).

FYI, "market rate" refers to the highest compensation that someone would be willing to offer a person with that profile. When you sell something, you sell it to the highest bidder. You don't sell it to the median buy offer.
>We target your total compensation (salary + equity-to-be-vested) to be greater than the 75th percentile
So, below market rate?
We use web data to identify things like org structure, tech stack, and key projects (e.g., GenAI initiatives, cloud migrations). Our product already has strong product-market fit, early revenue, and happy customers — and now we’re ready to accelerate.
Our long-term vision is to become the world's best data vendor. Try the product at sumble.com.
We are a team of 25 with experience at companies such as Google, Meta, Stack Overflow, Rippling, Snowflake, Confluent and Kaggle.
We raised $38.5MM from Coatue, Canaan, Square Peg Capital https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/22/sumble-emerges-from-stealt...
We've built up a great remote culture (e.g. annual meetups, home office allowance, generous PTO, a remote office app we created to collaborate) and a dev team that enjoys tackling hard problems that make a difference for our customers (dev blog for more: https://geeq.seeq.com/).
