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 active projects open for recruitment right now.
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.
We're building AI-driven turrets that stop hostile drones - where robotics needs F1-level speed.
We're looking for smart, T-shaped teammates: people who are experts in one area but happy to jump in wherever needed. Our software team is small, so every member makes a real impact.
If you want to write motor control in Rust, optimize camera processing with custom CUDA kernels on Jetson, or rework a transformer-based tracker to handle small objects - you can do that here, and much more.
US persons only
We help experts earn meaningful income, often five figures a year, by sharing what they already know through Zoom calls, surveys, and AI interviews.
Team: We’re a small, senior team that values quality, simplicity, curiosity, and collaboration. If you’re excited about building thoughtful user experiences and high-quality software, reach out!
Product: On the surface, the product looks simple: search, match, connect, and pay. Under the hood, we're tackling interesting engineering challenges.
- Search & Discovery: Surface the right experts instantly from structured and unstructured queries - Data & Recommendations: Build a knowledge graph from scratch to power better insights - Workflow Automation: Design and streamline multi-step workflows with AI - Performance & Scaling: Ensure speed, reliability, and scalability as we grow
Open roles:
- Senior/Staff Software Engineer, Full Stack: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/office-hours/f9e9f476-100b-4d86-b36... - Software Engineer, Full Stack: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/office-hours/664c0299-27c5-4550-91e... - Senior Product Designer: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/office-hours/d4ad4cb1-8ccd-49a9-b97...
P.S. Let us know in the application that you found us on HN. It helps separate signal from noise.
We're creating state of the art AI models, including the leading foundation model for Deepfake Detection. Looking for full stack, frontend and machine learning engineers that would love to create prototypes directly with the founders.
Here's what we're looking for:
Full Stack Engineer - We are seeking a skilled Full Stack Engineer with experience with both Javascript and Python to join us. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in building and deploying web applications, a passion for working on cutting-edge AI technologies, and the ability to collaborate closely with our founders to create innovative prototypes.
Product Lead - Ownership over our security AI model product suite. Lead technical + product conversations with customer engineering/security stakeholders.
Solutions Engineer / Forward Deployed Engineer - Own technical success for enterprise integrations: take customers from first POC → production rollout → expansion. Partner with product/engineering to turn customer friction into roadmap, and advocate for the highest-leverage fixes.
If interested, reach out directly to me: zohaib [at] resemble.ai
If you discover the best AI detection technology, then it will eventually be used as a (negative) reward function in training future models. It's an arms race.
Would you be open to alternative techniques, like metadata, source analysis, or online (fuzzy) reverse searching? Consider that judges and court experts don't rely solely on the evidence itself to determine if it's 'real', but to an even greater extent they rely on how it was collected, if evidence has not been sourced correctly, judges don't even look at it.
We've also been doing active work in source tracing: https://github.com/piotrkawa/audio-deepfake-source-tracing

American healthcare is seldom affordable, accessible, or high-quality. We are fixing this for pediatrics. Blueberry is the most affordable option amongst our competitors. We practice the highest quality pediatric telemedicine, as evidenced by our exclusive hiring of board-certified pediatricians and the usage of at-home medical kits. And, we’re accessible 24 hours a day.
Our success is shown in the lives we save, the costs we save our insurers, and our exploding B2B and D2C business.
As you can imagine, pulling off affordable high-quality healthcare is a challenge. It requires a lot of engineering ingenuity, a C-suite aligned with positive patient outcomes above short-term profits, and a great product team.
We use Django, Hotwire Turbo (an HTMX-like framework), Pytorch, Sklearn, and Flutter. Experience in these technologies helps, but what’s more important is general full-stack knowledge, curiosity, and a strong work ethic.

Question, while imaging is a bit less common in pediatrics. How are you handling medical images and bloodwork?
It seems like being a pediatric service, there's an opportunity to take ownership of these medical documents, both for life-long storage and centralization. Also if tech is a brand differential it seems like it would be a simple place to get a competitive advantage.
Company: We're a small scientific software development company that develops custom scientific and engineering analysis applications in domains including: space situational awareness (monitoring the locations, health and status of on-orbit satellites), image simulation, high power microwave systems, modeling and simulation, laser systems modeling, AI/ML including physics-informed neural networks (PINN), human body thermoregulation, computer vision and image processing, high performance computing (HPC), computer aided design (CAD), and more. All exciting applications and no CRUD. We emphasize high quality code and lightweight processes that free software engineers to be productive.
Experience: Except for interns, we currently require a Bachelors degree in physics, engineering, math, computer science, or a related field. Masters or PhD is a plus. (Roughly 25% of our staff have PhDs.)
Technologies: Mostly C++23, Qt 6.9, CMake, git, OpenGL, CUDA, Boost, Jenkins. Windows and Linux, msvc/gcc/clang/clangcl. AI/ML and analysis projects use Python and C++. Some projects use Java or Typescript/React.
