Count is an infinite, real-time canvas where SQL, Python, and low-code query cells live side-by-side with visualizations and freeform whiteboarding. It replaces the traditional linear notebook with a collaborative space for modeling, analysis, and presentation.
Under the hood, we've built a custom WebGL rendering engine, data visualization library, graph-based modeling layer, and horizontally scalable compute engine (DuckDB-based) that dynamically shifts execution between browser and server to minimize latency and reduce database load.
You'll help evolve the core platform: integrating agentic workflows into data exploration, pushing the performance limits of our distributed execution layer, and building powerful new analytics experiences used daily by customers. You'll have high autonomy and ownership over major parts of the product and technical roadmap, from architecture through production.
Tech stack: TypeScript, Python, Node.js, WebAssembly, WebGL, Apache Arrow/Parquet, DuckDB, Kubernetes, React.

PivotHire is building a high-trust network where quality-driven companies and skilled professionals collaborate with confidence. While there are new platforms focusing on elite recruitment or open hiring, they still sell access to people. PivotHire is different: we provide a fully managed, project-delivery service that sells guaranteed outcomes.
We are continuously expanding our network of developers for long-term remote collaboration, specifically focusing on Mobile Apps and Web Applications.
Engagement Model: This is a contract-based role with no base salary. Compensation is agreed upon per project. Unlike traditional freelancing platforms, we manage the client interaction and project scope, allowing you to focus on development.
Current Status: We have currently paused talent recruitment globally. However, we are still actively accepting applications from candidates based in China.
To Apply: Please email kevin.zhong@pivothire.tech with your portfolio and contact information.
In addition to developers, we are also actively looking for sales partners to help source new software development needs.
Compensation: This is also a 100% commission-based role (no base salary). You will earn up to 5% of the total order value for every project you close. You don't need to work for anything else than finding a customer for us.
Requirements:
No prior experience or specific background required. The only thing is that you need to be able to legally open a Stripe account to receive payouts.
To Apply: Please also email kevin.zhong@pivothire.tech if interested.
THE MISSION:
Help providers and patients make life-changing medical decisions with accurate, timely genomic test results. Our EMR team builds the interoperability backbone that connects hundreds of healthcare organizations to Natera's testing platform.
THE CHALLENGE:
• Build next-generation EMR integration platform handling thousands of daily transactions
• Wrangle healthcare standards (HL7, FHIR, CDS) across 100+ organizations with varying implementations
• Create scalable workflows for test ordering, results delivery, and medical record exchange
• Transform legacy healthcare data into modern, structured formats
WHAT YOU'LL BUILD:
• Real-time message processing systems handling patient orders and lab results
• Integration adapters for major EMR systems (Epic, Cerner, etc.)
• APIs and workflows that ensure critical test results reach the right clinicians quickly
TECH STACK:
TypeScript, Node.js, Jest, Cypress, infrastructure-as-code
TEAM:
Small, high-impact team managing full-stack ownership
Healthcare/Epic experience helpful but not required - we'll teach you the domain.
The Electronic Medical Record (EMR) space has interesting technical challenges: creating flexible systems that handle both strict standards and real-world healthcare data chaos, all while maintaining HIPAA compliance and sub-second response times.

We’re building an enterprise AI platform for the legal industry. Bootstrapped to $1M ARR with a team of ~20, recently raised our first institutional round.
We’re hiring our first Product leader to take over from the founders and own the roadmap end-to-end. This is not a wrapper; we’re building complex, multi-step AI workflows, document reasoning systems, and audit-heavy enterprise software for top-tier law firms and corporates.
Profile:
• 6–10+ years. We care more about output density than titles.
• Background in B2B SaaS / DevTools / workflow or platform products.
• Has owned large product areas or whole products end-to-end.
• Technical enough to discuss things like RAG evaluation and LLM latency.
• High-agency: you’ll decide what we build and what we don’t.
Not a fit if: you’re a process-only / Jira-first / bigco PM.
Comp: ₹40L–₹70L base + meaningful equity. Strong growth as we scale from $1M to $5M+ ARR.
Apply: sumit@jurisphere.ai. Short intro + links to things you’ve built helps.
The cost of homeowners insurance, especially in natural catastrophe prone areas, has skyrocketed in recent years. Annex is solving this problem with better digital infrastructure for executing the transaction. Our platform enables insurance agents to quote and bind policies within 90 seconds vs. the current multi-day phone/email/fax-based transaction that is the status quo.
We grew 4x in 2025 and anticipate similar growth in 2026. We've done the above after deploying <$1.5m in funding. We have significant and growing momentum on both the insurance distribution and insurance capital sides of our business; our challenge now is scaling our engineering team to support that progress.
We're in that exciting early stage, where someone can contribute foundational new pieces to core parts of our platform.
