Relevant Healthcare | Lead Engineer | Remote (US/Canada only) | Full-time

Relevant builds a data platform that helps safety-net healthcare providers deliver better care using data from their electronic health records. Our customers are non-profit clinics called Community Health Centers. You can read more about them, us, and the role on our jobs page: https://relevant.healthcare/jobs/

We're a small team (~25 overall). We're bootstrapped (no external capital whatsoever, VC or otherwise) and profitable. We've got a modern tech stack (Rails, Typescript, React, GraphQL, d3) and a healthy approach to both tech debt and work/life balance… and we’re also a very nice group of people that get to work on interesting problems for some of the few unimpeachably good actors in healthcare!

MONUMENTAL | https://www.monumental.co/ | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Full Time | Onsite

We make robots that autonomously construct buildings, starting with bricklaying.

There's a lot of vapourware in robotics, but we're deploying robots across multiple concurrent sites today - and generating revenue. In the last couple of months, our robots have built affordable social housing, health care living units, canal walls in the historic city centre of Amsterdam, and a youth sports centre. Help us to build things that matter in the long run.

We're looking for experienced software engineers for many roles. You can help us solve problems like:

- Data sync and analytics queries across a fleet of robots (that can be offline for hours at a time)

- Modelling buildings in code and finding the right UI for operators to edit them

- Designing systems for robots to drive safely and fully autonomously around a building site

Check out the progress we've already made on Atrium, our operating system for robotics: https://www.monumental.co/atrium

We're rapidly scaling up operations - we'll be building in the UK soon - and we need experienced engineers who can build the systems that manage all of that complexity. If you think that 'full-stack' could reasonably mean debugging firmware, mixing buckets of mortar _and_ writing React components, we are looking for you. Robotics experience not required!

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.

Apply: Konstantin.mueller@astoria.ai

Balerion AI | Software + FDE + AI Engineers | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | Full-time | $250k+ base + seed equity | Visa sponsorship available | https://balerion.ai

We're building agentic AI for mortgage lending — automating document processing and income qualification for loan originators.

Underwriting a loan means pulling numbers out of a few hundred pages of paystubs, W-2s, bank statements, and tax returns, then applying underwriting guidelines that run to thousands of pages of edge cases. Most of it is still done by hand.

Problems we actually work on: routing scanned pages to OCR vs. text extraction when the text layer is unreliable; extraction pipelines where a wrong number is much worse than a missing one; running long agent workflows durably so a failure three steps in doesn't restart the whole loan; and evaluating multi-step output against guidelines that are themselves ambiguous. We put real effort into eval infrastructure, because "the demo looked good" does not survive contact with a lender's compliance team.

Stack: Python, PydanticAI, Restate for durable execution, Postgres, AWS. Frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic plus open-source models where they win on cost or latency.

We raised an $8M seed led by Kleiner Perkins and have paying customers in production. Team previously at Snowflake, PayPal, Twitter, Atlassian, and Microsoft.

Comp: $250k+ base, meaningful seed-stage equity, 5% 401(k) match, full health coverage, commuter stipend, gym membership, daily office breakfast & lunch. Full relocation to SF covered.

Onsite in SF. Visa sponsorship: yes.

Email vishal@balerion.ai with "HN" in the subject, plus a resume or GitHub.

I expect everyone in my eng org (myself included!) to be technical and be able to help unblock the team, though your day-to-day wont be in the code.

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.

AI/LLM: We are leaned in, but still hold humans responsible for what they push and expect everyone to review and understand llm output before asking other humans to look at a thing.

Tufalabs | Zurich, ONSITE | Full-time | 100-200k CHF | https://tufalabs.ai/

(I want to preface that we don't have a ton of budget to expand our team right now and we want to keep the team small, but I also don't want to miss someone who would be a great fit)

We are a self-funded independent AI research lab in Zurich. Currently we explore ARC-AGI3, LLM/RL reasoning, and quant. We recently started a new LLM post-training and pre-training effort, led by some ex-engineers from the swissAI Apertus team. We also like to do some Kaggle on the side, our team includes the top #3 and #12 globally.

Our overall roadmap is to catch up with LLM capabilities, own the full stack, and use it to do our own independent research, pushing efficiency and looking for new paradigms. We expect our new cluster (2x NVL GB300) to be up by the end of the month.

Long term we want to switch to AI alignment/safety research as I believe this is all that matters when AI capability is high enough.

We look for people who are driven, who believe it's possible to make significant contributions to both AI capabilities and safety, and with previous experience pre-training and post-training LLMs and related infra.

If interested, email me at benjamin at tufalabs ai.

Seeking US BASED Freelancer Only — Co-Founder - Equity‑only until MVP - Long Term with Follow-on Projects - Remote (US)

Building CaseLight, a local‑first investigative evidence platform for private sector, corporate and insurance investigators. I’m a 24 year former federal LE & current private investigator founder with the full product spec, workflows, and roadmap ready — just need a strong engineer to help punch out the desktop MVP. Front end UI is already operational.

Looking for: C#/.NET desktop dev, SQLite, local encryption, packaging/installers, clean productivity UI. Must be US‑based. Must be able to ship independently.

Offer: Equity‑only until MVP launch. I have solid GTM, trust network and traction in an otherwise insular market. There is no product like this on the market and the industry is begging for it. Serious builders only.

What you’ll build: case management, evidence ingestion, tagging/search, timeline, encrypted local storage, hashing, dual timestamp, export/report modules.

Drop questions or GitHub + relevant experience to info@getcaselight.com

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. :)
