Stellar | Amsterdam, the Netherlands | Onsite (2 days remote OK) | €70-100k + equity | https://stellarcs.ai

Hey, I'm one of Stellar's founders. We're building voice AI for large contact centers.

Everyone thinks contact centers are boring. They're wrong. It's the last place where companies actually talk to their customers. We listen to calls every week and it's fascinating. AI here actually helps real people: shorter wait times, 24/7 support, lower cost.

Stellar skips the robotic text-to-speech pipeline entirely and works directly with voice. Our conversations are remarkably human, also in non-English languages and local dialects, where most AI sounds like a bad GPS navigator. On top of this, we're great at integrating with the complex systems at enterprises, and meeting their compliance requirements.

We're cash-flow positive, growing fast with enterprise clients queuing up, and all founders still code. We need engineers who can jump between our Go and TS backends and React frontend. This role is perfect if you:

* Want massive ownership at a small team (not pretend "impact" at BigCo)

* Actually enjoy solving hard problems (real-time audio at enterprise scale)

* Think making AI sound human in niche dialects is a fun challenge

Find the full vacancy here: https://www.stellarcs.ai/careers/software-engineer

EU work authorization is required. No visa sponsorship available.

Apply: e-mail is in my profile, please indicate HN in your e-mail.

This seemed directly relevant to the job posting and not a compliant about HomeVision's service though. My bad. >Please only post [...] are committed to responding to applicants. seems they also violate the top text edit: formating

That could certainly be. The trouble is that we have no way of sorting out which companies are doing what. Btw I went back and found a bunch of past explanations about this in case anyone finds it helpful: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44770591 (Aug 2025) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44161363 (June 2025) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40239393 (May 2024) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37759…

I could show you emails and then you would know what this specific company is doing, but I get your busy moderating the rest of HN, which is a monumental task. So that is unlikely to happen. But as it stands the situation is "rules for job seekers, Carte blanche for companies"

VDX.tv (http://www.vdx.tv) | Remote Engineers & Developers | Full-time |

REMOTE Established company (20+ years) looking for mature generalists to contribute remotely. You can be anywhere in the world so long as you:

● Are self-motivated and can work independently

● Driven to constantly learn and are always searching for the bigger picture

● Strong in clear thinking and written communication

● Have experience with many languages but can be effective in any language

● Appreciate that all mature software solutions accumulate technical debt and understand how to continually reduce debt and complexity

● Understand how to build highly reliable systems and be responsible for taking code to production

● Understand that code simplicity and readability are more important for long term maintainability

● Want to work on challenging problems and impactful work without being micromanaged

We're hiring across disciplines for engineers who work with Unix and have fluent written and spoken English:

● Backend Servers: Strong in C, Concurrency and Distributed Computing

● Backend Servers: Strong in Java

● Infrastructure: Strong in building infrastructure tooling to program infrastructure.

● Frontend: Strong in Javascript, Typescript, React, and advanced UI and browser applications

● Product Design: Ability to spec and build out clean UIs and dashboards.

We value people who are generalists and are interested in learning, developing, and applying expertise across multiple areas. Although our core business is in digital video advertising, we do research and development in areas such as programming languages, databases, distributed computing, infrastructure, and ai. We are private, which gives us the freedom to explore many areas without investors and profits being the sole objective.

Full-time only. Remote only. We start out on a full-time trial contract basis for up to 3 months and use this period as an extended work interview for both sides to assess fit for long-term employment.

Please email hn.remote.jobs@vdx.tv if this sounds like the right fit for you.

I believe you, but the trouble is we'd have to solve the problem in the general case, and we don't have the resources to do that. Also, I imagine it would take over the Who Is Hiring threads, since lots of people would want to comment for and against the different sides in different cases. Also, it's just not the kind of thing that HN is supposed to be for. This is not to deny that the problem is a real one.

> "rules for job seekers, Carte blanche for companies"

I don't think that's quite fair. Rules apply to both. We just (try to) keep the rules scoped to what we can actually determine from what gets posted here.

They're not: "Please only post if you are actively filling a position and are committed to responding to applicants." Please restore it. I can show receipts.

That could certainly be. The trouble is that we have no way of sorting out which companies are doing what—there would need to be some kind of 'due process' whereby the community could assess the fairness of different claims, and Who Is Hiring threads are no place for doing that. So in the end we just ask people not to post these. It's not to deny that these things are a problem, just that it can't be fairly decided h…

No one is asking you to pass judgment. I’m a long-standing member here telling my truth, and preventing me from warning others is reprehensible imho.

There might be vindictive posts but people could judge them on the merits of their argument and history. But you are going out of your way to prevent expression. What is there to gain?

I do get that solving the general case would cost a huge amount of resources, especially policing people with an axe to grind against a particular company. Is saying Carte blanche too far? perhaps. Maybe better phrasing would be "Rules are written with good intentions and enforced when the general case is solved". Regardless, I think this discussion has run it's course, I got to warn others. Thanks for your time

Could you clarify if you're hiring for remote roles or not? You mention being "remote friendly", but the info at the top of your listing says "ONSITE in New York City".

Rappo | https://buildrappo.com | Founding Fullstack Engineers | Remote (Preferably India) Hi, I am the founder of Rappo (agentic GTM Chief of Staff). We observed that technical startups spend way too much time in the early stages figuring out GTM.

Everyone says early PMF is crucial, but there is no streamlined support there.

PS: I am a solo founder, and we allocated generous equity for advisors and early hires.
