Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2026)

Snout https://snout.com/ | Multiple Engineering + Product Roles | Remote US or Ontario, Canada | Full Time

Join us at Snout on our mission to ensure no one ever has to make a health decision for their pet based on the cash in their bank account. Snout plans pay for 100% of routine veterinary care, unlimited visits, and additional member benefits - think pet insurance, that you will actually use every year.

We're growing the team and hiring across the board. Open roles:

Full-Stack Software Engineer - Build and ship every day across our web apps, payments, and data systems, from database to UI.

Frontend Engineer - Spend ~80% of your time building the React/Tailwind experience clinics and pet owners rely on, and ~20% in the Node/PostgreSQL backend behind it.

Backend Engineer - Spend ~80% of your time on the services, data systems, and payments infrastructure behind our wellness plans, and ~20% in the React frontend.

Data Engineer - Own how data moves through Snout: pipelines, ETL, and integrations, including getting data out of the on-prem software clinics already run.

Platform Engineer (cloud operations, developer experience, security) - Own our AWS environment, CI/CD pipelines, developer experience, and platform security - the foundation the whole team ships on.

Product Manager - Own discovery-to-delivery for our wellness platform, working shoulder to shoulder with engineering and the rest of the business.

QA Engineer - Own quality across the platform: test strategy, automation, and the release confidence that lets a small team ship fast.

Applied AI Engineer - Put LLMs to work across the product and the business, from customer-facing features to internal tooling.

Across all roles we're looking for at least three years of relevant experience, and we're hiring senior and staff level engineers as well.

Our tech stack includes Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, AWS, Tailwind, and Python. We use both JavaScript and TypeScript heavily. Our team uses LLM-based tooling day to day, but we're fundamentally a human-centric team, and our product itself does not heavily feature AI components.

To apply please email kyle@snout.com.

SmarterDx | 150-250k+ + equity + benefits | Remote (US only) | Multiple roles | https://smarterdx.com/careers

SmarterDx builds clinical AI for one of healthcare’s most broken systems: how hospitals get paid for the care they actually deliver.

Our physician-designed clinical AI platform reviews the clinical record, understands the nuance of patient care, and helps hospitals capture appropriate reimbursement across the revenue cycle. The core problem is hard: messy clinical data, complex regulations, payer rules, medical reasoning, and real financial stakes. When we get it right, hospitals recover millions in earned revenue, reduce manual review burden, and keep clinical and revenue teams focused on higher-value work.

We’ve hit serious scale while keeping the team unusually strong and technical: MD/data scientist hybrids, Stanford LLM researchers, former Google and Amazon engineers, former ASF board member, and others who are among the best in their fields. Many teammates have been here since we bootstrapped to $1M+ in contracted revenue before raising capital.

In 2025, SmarterDx became part of Smarter Technologies through a $1.1B deal with New Mountain Capital, reaching unicorn status while continuing to operate with the autonomy, urgency, and product velocity that got us here. Before that, we raised $71M from Floodgate, Transformation Capital, and Bessemer, including a $50M Series B.

We have real product-market fit: 85+ health systems, 300+ hospital sites, rapid customer growth, and 150% YoY headcount growth (currently at ~550). Now we’re scaling the platform.

Senzing | Platform Engineer | Remote (USA) | Full-Time

Senzing builds enterprise entity-resolution SDK technology — an embeddable library that runs entirely inside customer infrastructure with zero data exfiltration. We're hiring a platform engineer to own AWS infrastructure for Placekey (our location-data subsidiary, production API at scale) and support Senzing's core ops.

This isn't a keep-the-lights-on role. We just completed an infra migration and are actively modernizing. You'd own day-to-day operations, harden the new environment, and have real input on where it goes.

Stack: EKS Fargate, Aurora PostgreSQL, S3, Lambda, Cloudflare, API gateway (Kong/AWS), Terraform, Grafana/CloudWatch/Datadog. Apps are Scala and Rust. Looking for: 5+ years platform/cloud infra, production Kubernetes (EKS ideal), managed Postgres (backup/recovery/tuning), IaC, solid networking, strong Python/Bash.

Remote anywhere in the USA. Competitive salary, full health/dental/vision, 401(k) match, flexible PTO.

To apply: email enghiring@senzing.com with your resume and a short note — tell us about a challenging production system you've owned end to end, including an incident where your monitoring missed something and what you changed afterward.
