SpruceID (YC W21) | REMOTE (US-Based Preferred) | Full-Time | spruceid.com

Spruce lets users control their data across the web. Instead of users logging into platforms, we believe platforms should request to access data vaults controlled by users.

The demand for trusted digital ID is accelerating as AI deepfakes begin to destroy most of the ways we use to verify identity today. How private or secure is it to hold your driver's license or passport up to a webcam to get a bank account? Was it ever private or secure? Stable diffusion can break so much of this already. Society will need trusted digital IDs and credentials. Our mission is to allow them to be controlled by individuals, with safeguards to prevent descents into surveillance states and checkpoint societies.

We are the main implementers of category-defining initiatives such as the digital ID program for the California DMV, and the verifiable digital credentials program in Utah. We are private sector participants in NIST's National Cyber Security of Excellence initiative for privacy-preserving digital ID.

We are hiring skilled engineers who care about making a real impact in improving public services, digital autonomy, and user privacy for the world. We work closely with public sector agencies, and have high regard for public servants. We have a strong engineering and customer-oriented culture, and are not simply a SaaS product or AI wrapper. Our roles are not for the faint of heart: you will be expected to work hard and learn a lot in this role.

Our engineers are ambitious to get outcomes for our customers and their constituents. On any given day, they may write great Rust/C#/TypeScript, deal with mainframe dumps, read policy documents, respond to technical RFIs/RFPs, manage on-prem environments, implement new NFC + Bluetooth protocols in Swift/Kotlin, create CI/CD processes that enforce W3C accessibility guidelines and i18n requirements, rewrite lost specs from disassembled binaries, figure out stablecoin payments, and design new protections for public key infrastructure. It is a team effort, and people with T-shirt shaped skills are able to collaborate and learn a ton from each other every day.

We are interested in candidates who want to be proud of the meaningful impact they make for society, even if it takes time to get right. This is not the right job for someone who wants to "join a cool new AI startup" that implodes or exits in under a year.

Apex Dental Partners | Full-Stack Developer | Dallas, TX (Remote US or Hybrid) | apexdp.com

We're a Dental Support Organization running 59 practices across TX/OK/CO/MO/IA/NE/TN/AZ. The unsexy industry description hides what's actually an interesting technical role: a small dev team with real ownership, pushing hard on automation and AI to make dental operations actually work well.

Stack is primarily Rails 7.1 (Hotwire+Stimulus.js), with some React/Electron, C# .NET (OpenDental), and Go — all on AWS.

You'd be joining a tight team where developers own problems end-to-end: from understanding why a billing workflow breaks down, to designing the fix, to shipping it. The domain is surprisingly broad — patient communication, PMS integration, payroll, clinical workflows — and there's no shortage of genuinely novel problems once you learn the business.

Good fit if you like: stable company, small team, broad latitude, and work that visibly matters to the people using it. Not a fit if you need a large eng org — but there's plenty of greenfield work as we're still actively building new features, not just maintaining legacy code.

Drop me a line: dhanson [at] apexdp.com

Hey HN, this is Louis, co-founder at SightlineOS.

Yusha, Derrick, and I are building an AI-native supply chain operating system for restaurant chains. It’s a massive, overlooked space with deeply underutilized data, and we’re using modern data and ML systems to automate planning, inventory management, and spend optimization. We’re venture-backed, NYC-based, and are hiring our first senior engineers as we start to scale. These are high-ownership roles with real production impact from day one.

You’d work closely with founders, own core systems end to end, and help shape the technical foundation of the company. You’ll own and scale the data foundations that power our ML and customer insights along with client implementation.

Location: NYC (hybrid, 3 days/week in office) Salary: $135,000 - $185,000 + equity

Zed Industries | North America, South America, Europe REMOTE | https://zed.dev/ Zed is a company for developers, by developers. All 3 of our founders have spent years in the trenches writing software and still do it almost every single day. We know the only way to build the world's best code editor is by equipping every single member of the team to do the best work of their career.

We've raised $42M to support our ultimate vision, a new way to collaborate on software, where conversations about code remain connected to the code itself, instead of being tied to aging snapshots or scattered across different tools. The first step was creating a high-quality editor to serve as the user interface. Now this new investment lets us expand to tackle the next phase of our plan. We're developing a new kind of operation-based version control that incrementally tracks the evolution of your code with edit-level granularity, and we're integrating it into Zed to make collaboration, both with agents and teammates, a first-class part of the coding experience.

Spacelift | Remote (Europe) | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer | $80k-$110k+ (can go higher)

We're a VC-funded startup (recently raised $51M Series C) building an infrastructure orchestrator and collaborative management platform for Infrastructure-as-Code – from OpenTofu, Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, Pulumi, Kubernetes, to Ansible.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or SaltStack.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and have a lot of happy and satisfied customers. We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as healthy working hours.

Constellation Finance | Multiple Engineering Roles | New York, NY | Hybrid | Full Time

At Constellation, we are building a future where technology is the lethal advantage in credit investing.

Credit documents govern everything from how much debt a company can incur, or pay in dividends, to what they can do with proceeds from selling assets. Hidden debt capacity, loosely drafted provisions, or ambiguous definitions can materially alter recovery, making precise covenant interpretation essential to investing outcomes.

Constellation makes it easy to read credit documents, calculate covenant capacity, and plan liability-management transactions, reducing the mechanical bottlenecks to analyzing credits and generating alpha.

Our team is comprised of subject matter experts who have spent a decade in credit (Goldman Sachs/Citadel), AI/ML researchers, and full-stack engineers who are dedicated to solving frontier problems in their application to the world's largest asset class.

We recently raised a $3.25mm round led by Haystack and Company Ventures. We are hiring for these roles: https://www.constellationfinance.ai/#/careers

Fractional AI | Senior/Staff Software Engineer | SF, NY, NC, Dubai | Onsite

We’re a team of experienced generalist SWEs and AI enthusiasts who are building custom AI agents for enterprise clients. You’ll work on 3-4 different projects a year and play a central role on each one. No AI experience required: we are actively trying to be the best place in the world to learn applied AI.

I’m Frank, an engineer here. This is the first services-style company I’ve worked at, so for those of you in a similar boat, this is what I’ve really liked so far:

* The learning rate is super fast. 3-4 client projects a year, each with different tech stacks, products, industries, and architectures.

* Our projects are typically high priority and sponsored by prominent executives. The path here for projects to have real impact on usage or bottom line is much shorter.

* We’re “selling pickaxes during the gold rush”. When AI finds its next killer app, we’ll hopefully be the first to know about it.

We’re hiring SWEs onsite with offices in San Francisco, New York, Durham NC, and Dubai. Feel free to reach out to me directly (frank@fractional.ai) or take a look at the full job posting:

Tandem Health | Software Engineers | On-site in Stockholm, Sweden | Full time

At Tandem Health we're building a clinician copilot to allow clinicians to focus on care rather than administration. We’re building, launching and iterating quickly, and are already rolling out across some of the largest care chains across Europe, including most of the NHS.

Our first product listens in to the patient-clinician encounter to generate medical records, allowing clinicians to save 5-10 minutes per patient. No longer do clinicians have to catch up on administration after hours.

We’re expanding our Stockholm team with exceptional builders in a wide range of roles.

PlantingSpace | Full-time | Remote (EU time zone) + Quarterly Meet-ups | https://planting.space

We’re building an AI system for analysts and scientists, based on a fundamentally new approach to reasoning and knowledge representation. Our approach differs from LLMs in that we compose algorithms symbolically to represent complex knowledge, and perform probabilistic computations. This enables the AI-driven application of statistical models to different problems, while providing the user with a verifiable reasoning path, and an assessment of the uncertainty in each answer. We are developing applications for analysis and research in domains such as Finance, Strategy Consulting, Engineering, and more.

This is an opportunity for builders and practitioners to help shape a deep-tech product from its earliest stage.

Spotlight roles:

* Engineering Lead

* Product Software Engineering (Quantitative Modeling)

Ongoing hiring:

* Bayesian Software Engineering

* Program Synthesis Engineering

We're also looking for Domain Experts to collaborate on high-value use cases -- identifying and validating opportunities, shaping them into working solutions with our engineers, and taking them from pilot to production with real users. Practitioners with expertise in Valuation Models, Quantitative Default-Probability Models, or Interest Rate Prediction Models are particularly relevant right now.
