The job posted here and on the actual careers page seem different? You also mentioned remote when none of the four available jobs are remote.

My Signal Well (Austin, TX) | Founding Engineer | ONSITE Austin | Fractional or full-time

AI health coaching, personalized, data-driven, built on real biomarkers (DNA, wearables, labs, food logs). Product is live. Stack: Python/FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Fitbit + Apple Health integrations, LLM pipelines. Infrastructure needs modernization — no containers yet. That's where you come in.

What makes this different: we run an autonomous AI engineering team (Claude Code agents) that handles feature builds and deploys. You're not writing CRUD. You own architecture, infrastructure, and the path to scale.

First priority: containerize, CI/CD, HIPAA-compliant AWS migration.

Must have: Python, Docker in production, PostgreSQL, ops mindset. Health tech or regulated industry experience is a plus. You've built and scaled something real.

Charge Robotics | Multiple Roles | Full-time | Onsite | SF Bay Area

Hi HN! We’re a YC-backed, Series-A startup building robots that build large-scale solar farms.

Check out a video of our first system here! https://youtu.be/ZZ2fP1Y5Z2E

It turns out that construction companies literally can't build solar fast enough, so what we're doing is a crucial part of switching the grid over to renewable generation.

You’ll be a key contributor, helping bring our next generation of mobile solar factory to life.

Come work with us if you love:

* Fast-paced prototype development with software and hardware components

* Making a positive climate impact through your work

* Hacking on massive construction equipment!

Hi Bill- I applied for the Senior iOS Engineer role last month and didn't hear back. I feel I'm a strong candidate with over 10 years of iOS at startups and name brand companies alike, so I thought I'd drop an email to see if we could start a conversation. Thanks! suburbs.mantel9g@icloud.com

I applied to the Head of Engineering and Infrastructure role two months ago, and got a fairly generic rejection almost immediately that suggested I had been automatically screened out. I've cleaned up my LinkedIn a bit since then, so perhaps that would help? Given that you're still looking, and technically it's almost identical to my last role, seems like it's worth having a conversation about.

maybe they only like doms

Promptless (YC) | Founding Docs Practice Lead | San Francisco (Onsite) | Full-time | $140k–$200k + equity

Promptless builds AI agents that automatically update customer-facing documentation. Startups, CNCF projects, and Fortune 500 companies use us. YC-backed with a seed round from top VCs and angels.

This is a one-of-one role. You'll own the documentation practice at Promptless: onboarding customers onto the platform, building the methodology for AI-assisted documentation, and growing our reputation as the company that makes docs teams more effective. Think practice lead at a top consulting firm, except the domain is docs and the leverage is AI.

You should have deep experience in technical documentation (developer docs, API references, support content), be comfortable reading code, and be excited about pushing the boundaries of LLM-assisted writing. You'll be building this function from scratch, so an entrepreneurial mindset is key.

Email us directly: founders@promptless.ai (mention HN!)

--- ALSO ---

Promptless (YC) | Founding Engineer | San Francisco (Onsite) | Full-time | $140k–$200k + equity

As a Founding Engineer, you'll build the core product—AI agents, integrations, and infrastructure that powers automatic documentation updates.

Same deal. Email us directly: founders@promptless.ai (mention HN!)

I get why people want someone to use their product to see if they'd want to work on it, but as an observation, see this as an increasing trend and seeing half of a "I'm hiring" post dedicated to "Hey, install our product, here's how" gives hints of companies who are basica…

I get you but I think it's fair to ask. You have no idea how enraging it is to dedicate a whole hour to someone for interview only to ask at the end (you know at this stage) if they used the product and they say "no" and look slightly ashamed and retarded.

Every single place I've ever applied to, I've used their product DEEPLY

But like, you can't ask - you just gotta wade through a million retards.
