Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2026)

At Statecraft, we are building an inorganic workforce to help keep the US Government running. Our AI workers are trained on government workflows, operate reliably and compliantly, and build their own tools and software to help achieve outcomes and digitally transform outdated processes.

America is not short on forms, policies, or good people. It is short on hours. Our public servants are overworked and understaffed. For too long, contractors and consultants have made empty promises to solve this problem. Instead, they've wasted billions in taxpayer dollars. We're changing this with an AI workforce that works around the clock and improves over time. On average, we save taxpayers 80% while helping agencies deliver on initiatives and their mission 10x faster.

We're looking for a forward deployed engineer to deliver outcomes for customers, building critical systems with national impact. You'll also be working on our core platform, extending it with new capabilities.

* This position requires U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain/maintain a security clearance.

Connie Health is a fast-growing Medicare brokerage on a mission to empower older Americans to make confident, worry-free Medicare plan decisions. We offer a tech-enabled Medicare navigation platform that combines AI-driven technology with local Medicare experts to help people select optimal healthcare plans and navigate their benefits. Backed by leading investors such as Khosla Ventures, we are building technology to transform the trillion dollar Medicare insurance industry, impacting the lives of 67 million people in the US.

We are looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer to own our data transformation layer end-to-end. You will build the clean, well-modeled, documented datasets that the entire company relies on, spanning board-level book-of-business reporting (policy count, retention, effectuation, commissions), stakeholder self-service through Looker, and AI-driven exploration through tools like Claude. This is a high-leverage senior IC role: the quality of our analytics, forecasts, and operating decisions all depend on the foundation you build. You'll partner directly with Engineering, Finance, and Operations to fix data quality at the source, not downstream.

Tech stack: SQL, dbt, Redshift, Postgres, Looker (+ LookML), Fivetran, Airflow, Salesforce

We're looking for 5+ years in analytics/data engineering, deep hands-on dbt experience, strong SQL, and a track record of turning messy datasets into a trusted single source of truth. Bonus points for retention/lifecycle modeling, Looker administration, prepping datasets for AI consumption, or Medicare/insurance experience.
