Root Insurance (https://www.joinroot.com) | Senior Software Engineer | Fully Remote (HQ in Columbus, OH; occasional on-sites with provided travel)

Root uses technology to reimagine auto insurance — better pricing, better experience. Our engineering team builds a flexible platform where product designers and quantitative scientists can rapidly test, deploy, and iterate.

The Partner Activation team is hiring a Senior Software Engineer experienced with Ruby on Rails and API design in an enterprise setting. We power Root's embedded partnerships (Carvana, Experian, Toyota, Hyundai, and more) and you can see more of what we build here: https://root-bind-api.readme.io

This team sits at the intersection of multiple internal teams and external partners, mostly working on greenfield projects that bring modern tooling to legacy integrators. As the team's scope has grown, we're adding a dedicated engineer to own this work long-term. You'll coordinate across teams and with non-engineers regularly, so clear communication matters as much as technical chops. We're also exploring AI for integration-facing products (external dashboards, support tools, intake management) to reduce manual engineering overhead in our growth pipeline.

Open roles:

- Senior Software Engineer: https://ats.rippling.com/joinroot/jobs/125eb9e1-6121-4455-8b...

- Technical Services Engineer (partner-facing, non-IC): https://ats.rippling.com/joinroot/jobs/0e51f79d-07ef-47cf-93...

If either role seems like a good fit, mention that {{my username}} referred you via HN so I can review your application. You can also reach me on LinkedIn: {{my username}}-610b2591.

Empire Flippers | Remote (no office), all timezones | Full-time | https://empireflippers.com

Empire Flippers is a true global-remote company with travel in our DNA and employees scattered across 5 continents and all sorts of countries. Since I joined 6 years ago, I've personally been to India, the US, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico, the Philippines, China, Japan, Thailand, the UAE, all while working remotely and coding our Ruby on Rails + React app. More about us here: https://empireflippers.com/about-us

Though not as well known in the Hacker News / venture-backed startups sphere, Empire Flippers is widely considered the #1 marketplace for buying and selling online businesses in the 5 to 8 figure USD range.

Think of businesses like --- that recipe site you landed on as the first result when you googled "best chicken tikka masala recipe". Or the Amazon FBA seller whose product you purchased when shopping for "Widget XYZ" (with Amazon FBA, these ecommerce businesses never touch inventory and so it's a fully online business).

Turns out these type of businesses may be earning 10s of thousands of dollars per month in profit (or more!) and when the (often first time) founder is ready to sell, Empire Flippers is the #1 place to do it safely, securely and at a fair market price.

Before I joined Empire Flippers I only had a peripheral understanding of this space, but now that I've been steeped in this industry I can say that this "mini M&A" world is just as exciting as the high-flying unicorns (and decacorns) that we read about daily on Hacker News.

The company is hiring for a few different positions (both technical & non-technical), all of which can be found here: https://empireflippers.com/careers

But in particular, I'm hiring a Ruby on Rails developer to help me continue to build out new features in our Platform, both for customers and to help run our (very extensive) internal operations of vetting incoming businesses, facilitating their sale, and migrating them to the new owner after they've been purchased.

That job ad can be found here: https://empireflippers.com/career/ruby-on-rails-developer/

As mentioned, we are a global-remote company that hires people of all nationalities located in any country in the world.

Hope to see your application soon, and with any questions feel free to email me (Ben) at beng at empireflippers.com

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.

CareMessage | Senior Software Engineer I (L3), Messaging Team | Full-Time | Remote

CareMessage is a healthcare technology nonprofit that powers patient communication for 400+ safety-net healthcare organizations — FQHCs, free clinics, and tribal health centers serving low-income and underserved populations.

You will lead the technical direction of our messaging platform, the system behind every SMS, voice call, and multimedia message we deliver. You will design delivery pipelines, build consent management workflows, architect Twilio integration layers, and handle the sharp edges that come with messaging at scale: retry logic, opt-out compliance (TCPA, A2P 10DLC), delivery optimization across carriers, and AI-driven message categorization.

You'll likely thrive here if you:

- Have 5+ years building and scaling backend systems - Are strong in Ruby on Rails and Javascript with solid SQL chops

- Enjoy owning complex features end-to-end, from design through production support

- Think in terms of edge cases, failure modes, and delivery guarantees

- Want to mentor other engineers and shape technical direction

- Care about building infrastructure that has direct impact on patient outcomes

This is a senior role with shared team lead responsibilities. Small, mission-driven team with meaningful ownership. Equitable pay regardless of location.
