Valis Insights (VALIS) | Full-time | Software Engineer | remote-first hybrid Massachusetts (US) Hi, I'm Caleb (co-founder/CTO) from Valis Insights. We're a small climate-tech B2B SaaS/HaaS startup, based out of MA. We build material sampling, sorting analytics, and material monitoring web-based and hardware/computer-vision enabled solutions for metals recycling companies.

We're looking for a passionate SWE with some linux/networking/firmware experience to drive forward some greenfield product development and help scale & deliver existing hardware-enabled offerings. We've got some scale-integrated cameras deployed in the field which enables a web-app for analytics for material sampling. We've got a few units deployed at metal recycling facilities, and we're ramping up sales. We're also building a camera-over-conveyor-belt solution for process monitoring (greenfield dev/R&D).

Desired Competencies: linux, networking, basic electronics, firmware, cloud infra (AWS), web products, databases

Nice-to-Have Experience: edge-to-cloud CV system deployment/design, .NET ecosystem (C#, EF), networking (Wireguard, ssh), firmware dev/mgmt, observability (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus), IaC (Pulumi), stats/math/ML/signal-processing fundamentals, basic soldering, web products (TypeScript, React)

Role is remote-first hybrid. For some hardware/firmware/R&D, you'll need to be in-person in Worcester MA, but majority of role is remote. Infrequent travel to recycling facilities (continental US) for deployment/maintenance will be required.

Apply here - https://apply.workable.com/valis-insights-1/j/A937EAA712/ We read and review every application. Please mention "HN" in one of the written responses.

We're also hiring an ML/SWE intern for the Spring & Summer; apply here - https://apply.workable.com/valis-insights-1/j/98C0E1509B/

Farmgirl Flowers | https://farmgirlflowers.com | Remote (US or EU timezones) | Senior Software Engineer

I’m the Director of Engineering at Farmgirl Flowers, an online flower shop with a loyal customer base. We're looking for a product-minded engineer who can own projects end-to-end and keep things simple, safe, and maintainable.

We're a small team of three, so communication is fast and your impact will be immediately visible. We value pragmatism over "perfect" - shipping useful solutions matters more than polishing forever.

Stack: Rails 8, MySQL, Heroku, AWS, a little React -> moving toward Hotwire.

Is there a reason you have a full on dev team and use React instead of just wordpress/squarespace? What product needs prompted building it all yourself?

Also holy cow the homepage was 50mb and took 12s to load. No offense but that is kind of nuts. Consider lazy loading everything below the fold instead of just ramming 50mb of media through at the same time.

Kinelo | kinelo.com | Full-Stack Engineer (AI + Backend) | San Francisco | Onsite

Kinelo manages the new type of hybrid team that will emerge in the future: humans+AI working shoulder-to-“shoulder”.

Our first product helps human software engineering teams deliver more efficiently and more reliably by assisting in coordination and engineering management. But it’s built on a foundational layer that ingests data, knowledge, and process across communications and systems, exposing that to humans and AI alike.

Eventually, Kinelo will become a proper human+AI orchestration layer, managing entire companies, and our goal is to have Kinelo run Kinelo (we already dogfood it today).

We’re looking for high ownership individuals to join our small team and shape its direction. We also just opened a new SF office and new hires will have the ability to help shape company culture, engineering practices, architecture, and roadmap.

We’re well-funded (just raised another round), founded by a serial founder, anti-bureaucratic, and highly technical.

We’re looking for:

- Those who want to go 0 to 1 with high ownership: moving features and products from idea on a napkin, to prototype, to engineering UI, to shipped and polished product

- ~8 years professional experience, including the pre-LLM days with strong CS fundamentals

- A balance of wisdom from experience and optimism about the future

- Strong TypeScript and Postgres (or other RDBMS) experience at scale and with high reliability (SaaS apps, APIs, etc)

- Experience with a variety of technologies, including containerization, distributed systems, and at least one strongly typed programming language (Go, C++, Java, etc)

- Ideally experience with ML and AI systems (though expertise in ML, data science, etc is not needed for this role)

We can’t sponsor visas but relocation assistance to SF is possible.

Please apply here: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/kinelo/jobs/4088659009 and also email jobs@kinelo.com, mentioning this post.

I have adapted our "Stealth" pitch to fit their strict format while keeping the "Nerd Bait" hook. Stealth PropTech Startup | Boston, MA (or Remote) | Founding Full-Stack Engineer | CONTRACT TO HIRE | Competitive Market Rate + Equity We are looking for a "Mad Scientist" engineer to build a living, gamified dashboard that disrupts a massive legacy industry (Consumer Logistics/Real Estate). The Stack: React, Next.js, Supabase, Node.js. (Bonus: Framer Motion/GSAP). The Project: This isn't a CRUD app. It is a "Command Center" that feels like a video game. It features a dynamic "AI Companion" (Nook) that actively coaches users through complex financial and logistical phases. We need someone who can take a "Frankenstein" MVP concept and turn it into a high-performance, secure, living organism. About You: * You treat your IDE like a video game. * You obsess over micro-interactions and "game feel." * You want to be Employee #1 on a product that solves a universal anxiety point for 40k+ users in Boston alone. The Deal: * Mode: Contract-to-hire. We start with the MVP build (paid project). If you survive the mission, you become the Founding Engineer. * Culture: No Jira. No PMs. Just code and shipping. To Apply: Email me at jobroplus@gmail.com Do NOT send a resume. Send ONE link to the coolest/weirdest thing you have ever built. Show me code with a soul.
