Hammock is building the first HSA/FSA that actually works for modern life — letting people spend pre-tax dollars on everyday wellness like the gym, recovery, and prevention. Backed by a16z Speedrun, and others.
We're a small team in NYC shipping fast and hiring two engineers. Full JDs: https://www.notion.so/hammock/Hammock-Open-Roles-3499f813ef2...
Backend Engineer — Build the financial and data infrastructure powering Hammock — payments, ledgers, health eligibility, integrations with Plaid, Finch, Lithic. Ideal: strong backend chops in payments/fintech/healthcare, deep understanding of relational/transactional data systems.
Full Stack Engineer — Own product features end-to-end across web and mobile. Ship dashboards, payments UX, and other consumer surfaces. You'll move fluidly between frontend and backend and have real say in how the product works & feels. Ideal: built consumer products before, opinionated about UX, comfortable turning ambiguous ideas into shipped features.
Stack: A lot of Typescript & Postgres, Next.js/Expo/React Native, Railway/Datadog/ PostHog.
Reach out: hiring@usehammock.co - let us know you're coming from HN. We're a small team and will respond quickly!
I'm Nick, CTO & co-founder. We're Rippling, but for insurance carriers paying their sales force. Every policy sold triggers a chain of payouts across brokers, agents, and sub-agents. Today that runs on spreadsheets and legacy vendor systems and tomorrow they'll run on Chestnut. Nationwide and other major carriers have already made the switch.
Revenue is up 8x in the last year. We're backed by a16z. Founding team came out of leadership at Ethos (insuretech that recently IPO'd in January).
The work is state-heavy and correctness-critical: payouts that must reconcile with finance to the cent, dynamic agent hierarchies, retries, chargebacks, partial failures. These systems move real money and cannot drift.
You'll design schemas, build backend logic, ship UI, deploy, and own the sharp edges that show up with real enterprise customers.
Stack: Go, TypeScript/React, Postgres, Temporal, Kubernetes, AWS. We use AI aggressively and expect you to as well.
We're looking for 3–6 years on real product systems. You're thoughtful about invariants and failure modes.

Electrical and mechanical engineering consulting firm in Waterloo, serving the Canadian building construction industry — a market that's still mostly designed the old way. I designed the original platform schema and UX vision; my early code attempts got abandoned when running and growing the firm took priority. The years since have been spent figuring out how to scale this properly and fill those gaps. We're now at the depth and size to support a real build — with no committee in the way, and with my time properly committed to it this time. I'm hiring an exceptional software engineer to take it to the production platform it was always meant to be.
Real users, direct collaboration with the founder, and 20 years of MEP practice plus the platform vision. Few founders building automation in this space bring both.
Profitable, bootstrapped, 18 years old. Equity is earned, not granted — a real cut of a real business, not options in something that may or may not happen.
Stack: TypeScript, React, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, AG Grid, TanStack Query, Drizzle, PostgreSQL, Python (FastAPI), Node.js, Docker.
Looking for: full-stack, agentic-first as a daily working mode, shipper not writer.

We’re rebuilding America’s air traffic control system from scratch. What we do in the next two years will define how this country moves through the sky for the next fifty.
At the core is one of the largest real-time optimization problems in the world: how do you safely sequence ~40,000 flights/day while routing around weather, military airspace, equipment outages, and constant real-world churn? The system has to be right every time, and reliable at scale.
We’re hiring across Backend, Infrastructure, and Frontend (ICs and Tech Leads).
