akeno | Staff/Senior Full-Stack Engineer | Hamburg, Germany (ONSITE) | https://www.akeno.ai/

We’re doing planning software for huge factories, predominantly in the chemical industry where processes are complex and there is always a fun new edge case or uncertainty to account for.

You’d love to work here if you’re a REAL full-stack! Not a React programmer who has used an ORM once but someone who knows both about aspects of UX design, the nitty gritty of DBs (MVCC, transaction isolation levels, partitioning, …), and everything in between. You’ve usually been the strongest in these areas within your company and finally want to work in an environment where you have peers, not people you first need to train.

So if you can argue why REST in a lot of situations is a smarter choice than GraphQL, why doing integration tests might be better than blindly following the testing pyramid, why DAOs or query builders are superior to ORMS, or in general you have “seen stuff and fixed shit” but also care more about a successful product than tech stuff, this might be the environment for you to shine.

Root Managed Services, LLC | Network Engineers | Dallas, TX | https://rootmanagedservices.com

Hey HN! I'm Ian, one of the founders of Root Managed Services.

Root Managed Services is a managed IT services provider focused on helping businesses keep their infrastructure stable, secure, and running day to day.

We're hiring a network engineer who is excited to help with day-to-day NOC operations, client infrastructure support, alert triage, troubleshooting, and keeping systems online.

Root Managed Services works with small and growing businesses that need reliable IT operations without building a full internal team. That means our work spans networking, servers, workstations, monitoring, ticketing, backups, security, and client communications. We’re looking for someone who can help us improve our NOC process, respond to issues quickly, and build better operational workflows as we grow.

Stack / tools: Windows Server, Linux, firewalls, switches, VPNs, RMM tools, ticketing systems, monitoring/alerting, Microsoft 365, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, TCP/IP.

Applying: email me and let me know why you want to work with us.

Puntt AI | Forward Deployed Engineer + Senior Applied AI Engineer (Agentic Systems) | Onsite SF | Full-time

Puntt AI is the system of record for enterprise marketing compliance. Our AI agents turn hours of manual brand and packaging review into minutes of automated precision. Danone, Nestlé, and Kenvue are live customers. The product works. Now we scale.

Forward Deployed Engineer | $190k + equity https://wellfound.com/l/2CiVyv

The FDE is the person in the room when an enterprise customer shows you their actual broken process. You run discovery, figure out what's really going wrong, configure and ship against it, and bring that signal back to product in a way the team can actually use. You work directly alongside our CEO in live enterprise cycles. What you learn shapes what we build next.

Best fit: solutions engineering, field engineering, or technical founder background. You've been in enterprise rooms, you get to the real problem fast, and you can build the thing that proves the fix. Full stack, AI-native, 7+ years.

Senior Applied AI Engineer | $185k-$210k + 0.75%-1.25% equity https://wellfound.com/l/2C3WzL

This role owns the agentic core -- multi-agent orchestration, RAG and retrieval, stateful async workflows (Temporal), and the eval frameworks that make compliance AI trustworthy at scale. If you've spent real time thinking about failure modes, observability, and what reliable actually means when LLMs are in the loop, that's who we're looking for.

5-7+ years production engineering. 1-2+ years building with LLMs in real applications. Strong Python. Hands-on RAG.

You’ll help shape critical systems that advance aviation safety and autonomy, working alongside a team that values effort, creativity, and accountability.

We’re hiring Lead Engineers with 5-9 YOE who love solving complex problems. At Beacon, you’ll own your work end-to-end, from prototype to deployment, and literally see your code take flight in real world aviation environments! Roles:

++ iOS Engineer [Tech Stack: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Mapbox]

++ Senior Security Engineer [SIEM, IDS/IPS, vulnerability scanning, encryption]

++ Infra/Backend Engineer [Tech Stack: AWS]

++ WebApp/FrontEnd Engineer [Tech Stack: Python, Typescript, React]

We are looking for someone that wants to own product features end to end (Python + Typescript/React) but is particularly spiky on frontend and UI. You'll build a platform for billion-dollar enterprises solving their hardest, most mission-critical automation problems.

If you're excited about working at the nexus of data, automation and AI, and want to make a significant impact in an early, well-capitalized startup with large enterprise design partners, we'd love to hear from you.

Roles: Product Engineer.

Pascal | Founding Engineer | New York City

Pascal’s mission is to deliver AI-native systems to the offline economy, starting with the consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector. We are reinventing how they operate, building the foundational layer for decisions across finance, sales, and operations teams.

Opaxa | Founding Full-Stack Engineer | San Francisco | Full-time | $200K–$300K + founding equity | opaxa.ai

Opaxa is the AI agent platform that runs restaurant back-office operations. Not another dashboard — agents that take the work off the operator's plate and act: build the schedule and push it to action, place the order with distributors, audit the invoice for overcharges, draft the review reply. The operator approves what matters; the rest gets done.

The unfair part: the founder owns and runs a 40-location restaurant company with over 750 employee's — so Opaxa's first customer is a real, operating restaurant group with real data and real stakes from day one. Deep domain expertise is built in, and your work runs in real restaurants immediately, not after a six-month hunt for a design partner. Well-funded.

A working prototype is already built. Now I'm hiring a founding full-stack engineer to take it from prototype to production: own the architecture, the agent runtime, the backend, and the integrations the agents act through (Toast, Paycom, Sysco, and more), set the technical bar, and grow the team behind you.

You'd work directly with me — I own product, customers, and the domain; you own the AI and the build. We'd be hiring additional engineers and account managers within the first year.

You're a fit if you: - have shipped agentic systems to production — plan-and-act, not chatbots or wrappers - are a strong full-stack builder (Python and/or Node, Postgres, real infra) - use the latest AI tooling (Claude Code / Cursor) as your default want to own a whole product as the first engineer, and eventually lead

Stack: React/TypeScript, Python/Node, Postgres, the Anthropic API, integrations across the restaurant stack.

To apply: email me at colton@opaxa.ai with the most impressive agentic system you've personally shipped — what it did, what you owned, and what made it hard — plus your resume or links. I read every one and reply. Please write it yourself; if it's clearly AI-generated, I'll pass.

Snowflake | Forward Deployed Engineer | Menlo Park, CA | ONSITE

I’m part of Snowflake’s Applied AI / Forward Deployed Engineering team, and we’re hiring for two roles: Forward Deployed Engineer and Senior Forward Deployed Engineer.

We work directly with strategic customers to design, build, deploy, and improve production AI systems on Snowflake. That includes LLM applications, RAG and agentic workflows, evaluation frameworks, guardrails, observability, and production iteration using Snowpark, Cortex, and Snowflake’s native AI capabilities.

For the FDE role, we’re looking for strong engineers who can build and ship customer-facing AI systems end to end, especially if you’ve worked on LLM apps and care deeply about evals and quality. For the Senior role, we’re looking for someone who can lead multi-engineer AI engagements, mentor other engineers, and still be hands-on in architecture and implementation.

Both roles are customer-facing and involve travel, including at least 25% onsite time with strategic customers.

If you like working in ambiguity, building real AI systems instead of demos, and partnering closely with customers to get things into production, these roles are a good fit.
