Starbridge | Senior Engineers (Kotlin/Java/React/Typescript) | NYC or Remote | Full-time | starbridge.ai Starbridge is building an AI platform that turns large-scale public and enterprise data into reliable sales insights. We are early, moving fast, and building from zero to one, so this role will have huge ownership and product impact.

Product Engineer: (React/Typescript) who would work closely with product and design to build user-facing parts of the platform. You will craft performant, stable frontends that explain technical concepts to non-technical users and help us iterate fast based on customer feedback.

AI Engineer: Applied AI plus strong software engineering. You will build, evaluate, and deploy LLM-driven features like deep document analysis and interactive chat, working with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini. Expect hands-on Python, ML system design, experimentation, and production reliability. Bonus for RAG depth and frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or Hugging Face.

Backend Engineer: (looking for Kotlin/Java/Scala experience). You'll work across the backend: building enterprise integrations, large-scale scraping and parsing pipelines, and systems that let users apply LLMs to millions of documents to generate insights at scale.

We're looking to build our in-person team in NYC but also open to remote!

Apply: https://starbridge.ai/careers and mention HackerNews or email recruiting@starbridge.ai with your resume.

Waypoint AI | Senior Backend, Fullstack, Frontend | Prague + REMOTE (CZ) | Full-time | Equity

We're building Chip — an AI support engineer that autonomously triages, routes, and resolves complex technical support cases. Think: a teammate that reads every Jira ticket, every Intercom thread, and every runbook, then actually acts on them.

Czech-American B2B startup, raised $3.1M. Already in production with Volvo, ClickHouse, and others.

We're a small eng team where early architectural decisions still matter. We use AI daily as a collaborator (Claude Code) — not as a gimmick, but because it genuinely makes us faster. We value craft, ownership, and shipping in small slices.

Stack: Django + Django Ninja, Postgres, Dramatiq (background jobs), React/Next.js/TypeScript/Tailwind.

Hiring for three roles:

Senior Backend Engineer (AI Systems) — Own APIs, data pipelines, and durable workflows. LLM product experience (evals, cost/latency, vector search) is a plus. https://mywaypoint.ai/open-positions/senior-backend-engineer...

Fullstack Engineer — Backend-heavy with enough frontend to be dangerous. End-to-end ownership from schema to UI. https://mywaypoint.ai/open-positions/fullstack-engineer

Frontend Developer — Build interfaces that make complex AI feel simple. React/Next.js/TS/Tailwind. Product-minded, not just pixel-pushing. https://mywaypoint.ai/open-positions/frontend-developer

Office in Prague 7 (Holešovice), remote-friendly. Competitive CZ-market comp + meaningful equity.

To apply: joinus@mywaypoint.ai — include a project you shipped end-to-end and how you use AI tooling in your workflow. Mention HN.

Spacelift | Remote (Europe) | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer | $80k-$110k+ (can go higher)

We're a VC-funded startup (recently raised $51M Series C) building an infrastructure orchestrator and collaborative management platform for Infrastructure-as-Code – from OpenTofu, Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, Pulumi, Kubernetes, to Ansible.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or SaltStack.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and have a lot of happy and satisfied customers. We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as healthy working hours.

If that sounds like fun to you, please apply at https://careers.spacelift.io/jobs/3006934-software-engineer-...
