We're hiring multiple staff engineers across a range of profiles: frontend-heavy, fullstack, and backend-heavy. We're especially looking for 1–2 engineers with architect-level frontend chops (React, TypeScript, state management, perf) who can own UI quality and level up the team. But we're also very interested in strong Go/Postgres or infra/ops backgrounds.
Day to day you'll write code (25–75%), review PRs (25–50%), and pair/mentor/document (10–20%). You'll act as a technical lead on projects, break down large efforts, and influence architectural decisions across the org. Small cross-functional teams with a designer, PM, and EM.
Stack: React, TypeScript, Golang, Postgres, GraphQL/Apollo, Vite, Cypress, Terraform, AWS (ECS, RDS, Lambda). We lightly use Elastic and are interested in event-driven patterns.
Fully remote, 100% employer-paid medical, 401(k), two company-wide shutdown weeks, continuing education budget.
To apply: send resume to jon@join.build. If you are able to please include a PR review you've given that had a positive impact (or a description/snippet if that's confidential).
MintMCP helps enterprises safely roll out agents to the entire organization (e.g, governance around MCP tools and agents like Claude Code / Codex / Cowork). We're building an MCP gateway with abstractions useful for 1) preventing agents from doing the unintentionally bad things you hear about every week without constraining them to be useless, 2) getting the rest of your teams and organizations to adopt them with minimal friction.
We're a small team of humans with dozens of agents: our company operates on the infrastructure we build for enterprises. We're looking for agent-forward engineers and GTM folks to help solve scaling problems, maintain the highest standards for security, make agents and MCPs usable and useful.
If you have experience in infra, security, and agents, and believe MCP, while not perfect, will evolve to become critical AI infrastructure, you might find the problems we're working on exciting!

Mitte is an AI creative suite. We've built our own media agent and we're hiring engineers who want this to be the best work of their career.
Founded by an ex-Superhuman lead engineer. Lean startup and unix philosophy run deep at Mitte. We ship every day and like to design systems, be thoughtful about patterns and primitives before scaling the codebase, especially with AI.
We're hiring:
- Backend Engineer (Elixir, Go) — own services end-to-end, from agent orchestration to the systems that move media at scale.
- Full-Stack Engineer (Go, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit) — build the surfaces creators actually use. Strong design taste and obsession with detail expected.
Berlin, on-site. We work in the same room because the product is moving too fast for anything else.
Reach out: careers@mitte.ai — tell us something you've built that you're proud of, and why it was hard. Berlin based applications only.
The world doesn't need another ERP. CoPlane is building the Agentic Orchestration platform that enables enterprises to orchestrate intelligent processes across their existing systems. Founded by ex-Stripe/Segment product and tech leads, we're changing how businesses operate their backoffice - helping them scale intelligence not headcount.
We're looking for an exceptional product engineer to grow our small team of engineers that include ex-founders, open source contributors (authors of neovim and neverthrow), and architects of petabyte-scale data platforms.
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.

Gladly is at the forefront of building retail customer service AI. Our AI is live in production with customer-centric brands like Crate & Barrel, Sephora, and REI. We have the ingredients that make AI work: rich data, close customer partnerships, and a strong engineering culture.
We're hiring Senior & Staff Software Engineers to lead major AI & Automation initiatives. This is a high-impact, hands-on role for someone who wants to ship fast, collaborate deeply, and build systems that help real people.
You should have:
- 5-10+ years of full-stack experience (Go, TypeScript, React, Postgres a plus)
- Experience with generative AI, multi-agent systems, RAG pipelines (can be personal projects / side projects)
- A bias toward impact and product thinking
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills

Psiphon is a VPN app used by millions of people to access the open internet in regions where it's restricted. Small team, software that matters.
We're building the next-gen client app in Flutter (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows) and need someone who can work across both iOS native and Flutter. Split is roughly 65% Flutter, 35% iOS native (Swift, StoreKit, entitlements, network extensions). You'll have mentorship from a senior iOS specialist for the deeper networking work.
Day to day: Feature development in Flutter, iOS platform integration (subscriptions, permissions, App Store), and occasionally going deep into network extensions and packet tunnel providers. Small team (~3-4 core devs), high ownership, low ceremony.
Looking for: Strong Swift experience beyond just UIKit/SwiftUI app dev, comfort with the iOS ecosystem (App Store process, provisioning, StoreKit), and willingness to context-switch between Swift and Dart in the same day. Flutter experience is a strong plus but not required if you pick up frameworks quickly.
Contact: jobs+hn@psiphon.ca
Company: We are building an executive voice engine (Eve). This is a multi-agent AI system that learns how a leader thinks and produces content indistinguishable from what they'd write. Think: a specialized vertical AI solution that uses coordinated specialized agents, persistent context graphs, a learning flywheel that compounds with every piece. We have paying customers and a growing agency channel, mostly word of mouth.
Role: Full AI stack + product. Agent orchestration, evals, RAG, prompt chaining, model trade-offs, and customer-facing features. TypeScript, SvelteKit, Cloudflare Workers, Postgres.
You: Full-stack in the real sense (AI systems + infra + product). At least five years experience shipping code into production systems including production AI. Move fast, care deeply, and be curious.
Culture: We are a team of four. The founder is technical and moving to spend more time in growing the business. Architecture is early enough that your decisions define the system.
Apply: Send an email to hello [at] helloeve.co.
Use the subject line: My voice is {fill in your description}.
In the body, include your favorite piece of content you've published and why it matters to have your voice out there.
Please also share links to your portfolio and anything that shows how you think about AI systems, e.g. an eval harness, a multi-agent project, a write-up, a side project, and most importantly, why you + why you want to be part of the team.
Profitable and 100% owned by employees and founders.
