DAT | Engineering Manager, Senior Engineering Manager | Seattle, Portland, Denver | Hybrid 2-3 days/week | Full-time | $192k - $261k

I'm hiring for both EM and Senior EM levels building the automation layer for freight pricing, matching, onboarding, and settlement. Lead 1-3 teams (FTE + contractors), own delivery end-to-end, ~8 yrs exp typical. I expect all managers 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 billions of dollars worth of transactions every year.

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.

Culture: I am deeply familiar with Google's project oxygen/aristotle and am building a culture where our teams can do great work with minimal bs.

Location: Must be local to one of our three locations (Seattle, Portland, Denver)

Primary Tech: Node/TS, React, GraphQL, Kafka/redpanda, k8s, AWS, etc

Alaffia Health | Principal Engineer (TypeScript) | NYC (Hybrid) | Full-time

Alaffia Health is a Series B healthtech company in NYC fixing a real, expensive problem: US health plans lose billions every year to improper payments and administrative waste in claims processing. We combine clinicians with AI to catch billing errors before they get paid out. Just raised $55M in our Series B led by Transformational Capital.

We're hiring a Principal Engineer, backend-heavy role (85-90% backend), to own architecture across multiple teams and help set technical direction as we scale.

Stack: TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, AWS, React/Next on the frontend.

You'd be:

Owning delivery on systems spanning multiple teams Driving adoption of AI coding tools (we use Claude Code) with real usage across the team, not just experimentation Mentoring senior engineers, influencing technical decisions without needing to go the management track Working closely with product and business leadership on technical strategy

Looking for 15+ years of experience, real hands-on TypeScript backend depth (Node.js, NestJS, or similar), and ideally some exposure to healthcare, fintech, or another regulated-data environment, though that's a plus, not a hard requirement.

Hybrid, 4 days/week in our SoHo office.

Odin | Senior Design Engineer, Senior Platform Engineer — Edge Systems | Remote (US) | Full-time

Odin is the workforce visibility and compliance platform for critical infrastructure. We protect the world’s largest construction projects, data centers, and critical assets—from groundbreaking through post-turnover—by unifying physical access control, workforce compliance, video monitoring, and drone surveillance in one command center. We’re already on 500+ active projects with 100K+ workers, securing over $100B in construction value.

We’re hiring two hands-on senior builders:

1. Senior Design Engineer: Research, design, and build the interfaces people use to run jobsites. You’ll establish Odin’s design language and production design system, create coded prototypes with mocked states, and implement responsive, accessible screens across desktop, tablet, and mobile. We’re looking for someone whose portfolio demonstrates customer research, strong product and interaction judgment, and substantial production frontend engineering.

2. Senior Platform Engineer — Edge Systems: Build the software connecting jobsites to Odin’s cloud. You’ll work with cameras, access-control readers, rugged devices, local compute, and constrained networks. You'll own device integrations, video and event ingestion, buffering, synchronization, remote deployment, diagnosis, and recovery. We’re looking for production experience with edge or distributed systems, intermittent connectivity, third-party hardware or protocols, and software operating beyond a conventional cloud environment.

Our stack includes TypeScript end to end, Node.js and GraphQL, React and CSS, React Native and Expo, Postgres, Kubernetes on GCP, and Datadog. Design Engineering uses Figma and Claude Design. Edge Systems integrates with technologies including CCURE 9000, Avigilon, HID, Zebra, Esper, and Iru.

Both roles require strong ownership, operational maturity, mentoring, and using AI to accelerate work without outsourcing judgment. These are individual-contributor roles and include periodic jobsite travel.

Relevant Healthcare | Lead Software Engineer | Remote (US) | 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 roles 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!

Aqora Quantum | Sr Full-Stack Engineer (Rust + React) | Paris ONSITE or REMOTE (EU) | €70-90k + equity | https://aqora.io

Aqora Quantum is building the algorithm layer of quantum computing: the place where people develop, share, and orchestrate quantum workflows. Hardware gets most of the attention, but the algorithms and the tooling around them are where the field actually becomes useful, and today that work is scattered across notebooks and one-off scripts. We host versioned datasets and reproducible benchmarks so results are comparable, and give teams a way to publish a workflow that someone else can pick up and run. Think Kaggle/Hugging Face, but for quantum. We're a small but growing team, having just raised our seed round, and we're now extending into the US.

We're looking for one senior full-stack engineer. You'd own features end to end: GraphQL API and services in Rust, React/TypeScript frontend, plus the runner that executes user-submitted workflows against simulators and real backends.

You don't need a quantum background, but you do need to enjoy going deep on an unfamiliar technology and getting productive in it fast. That happens here constantly, and we'll give you the time and the people to learn it properly. Beyond that: production Rust you've shipped and maintained, and real comfort across the stack.

Onsite in Paris or remote anywhere in the EU. If you're not in Paris, expect to join us there regularly for team weeks.

Email jannes@aqora.io with a CV or GitHub, mention HN. Happy to answer questions in the thread too.

Distru (https://www.distru.com) | Senior Software Engineer | AI Product Engineer | Senior Product Manager | REMOTE (Americas & Europe) | Full-Time

Distru is the #1 ERP in the cannabis industry. $3.5B in annual GMV flows through our platform, and most of the top cannabis brands and distributors in the US run their entire operation on us to stay compliant.

We're profitable, stable, and growing. No runway anxiety, and we're reinvesting into new product lines. We're an intrinsically motivated team that works without ego, is constantly learning, and genuinely cares about our people (5/5 on Glassdoor).

Distru is at an inflection point. We have deep market penetration in cannabis ERP, a new commerce layer (Distru Commerce, a B2B wholesale marketplace) live and growing, and a roadmap with a growing AI component. Our live AI Order Agent already lets buyers submit orders in any format from any source, killing manual data entry, the first of many bets on using AI to strip the repetitive heavy lifting out of running an ERP.

The roles: You'll own mission-critical parts of the product end to end, from planning and design through implementation, testing, and shipping. You might work on AI-native features (order/purchase intake, smart product matching, systems that learn from user feedback), Distru Commerce storefronts and ordering, manufacturing and distribution workflows, cultivation mobile tools for the floor, or compliance integrations with state systems like Metrc. These are high-ownership roles: you'll partner directly with product, design, support, and our C-suite, and you'll get customers writing you personal "thank you" emails.

Stack: React + TypeScript, Elixir/Phoenix + GraphQL, PostgreSQL, React Native, LangGraph

Ashby | YC 19 | REMOTE | Hiring Engineering Leaders | $200k–$275k Ashby is the all-in-one recruiting platform powering hiring at the world's most innovative companies. If you cmd+f "Ashby" you'll see that we're powering many of the job postings in this thread!

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).

Shepherd (Series B) | ONSITE | San Francisco, CA & New York City, NY

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.
