Gambit Robotics | Founding Principal / Staff Full-Stack Engineer | NYC | Onsite | Full-time

Hi! I’m Nicole (ex-Google AI), cofounder of Gambit Robotics with Eliot Horowitz (cofounder/CTO MongoDB).

We’re hiring for two founding engineering roles to work directly with us in our NYC office (in-person only):

1) Founding Principal / Staff Full-Stack Engineer - 8+ years experience shipping production systems - Strong backend and systems foundation - Experience owning architecture end-to-end (zero → production)

2) Founding Full-Stack Engineer - 4–6 years experience building and shipping production products - Strong product sense and ownership - Comfortable working across backend, client, and infrastructure

Gambit is an AI-powered kitchen assistant that mounts magnetically under most range hoods or microwaves. It uses computer vision, thermal imaging, and on-device AI to understand what’s happening in the pan in real time, and handles the hardest parts of cooking — heat, timing, and doneness — so people get better results with less stress.

We’re moving quickly from prototype to product and launching via Kickstarter later this month. It’s a seed-stage startup with high autonomy, real impact, and a very intense (and fun) next phase.

If you or someone you know might be a fit, email me: nicole@gambitrobotics.com

Norm is building AI that understands regulations for regulatory compliance. Our AI currently automates compliance determinations for federally regulated financial content, though our vision is to build a platform that can handle any regulation in any industry. As AI begins to permeate our society, Norm aims to become a critical building block for other AI systems that need regulatory intelligence. You can read more a…

This looks like a really interesting product. I’m currently a software engineer at Amazon and have previously worked at places like DRW and HeadSpin, and the problem space really caught my attention. I’m earlier in my career but just applied to the Applied AI Engineer role.

Excited to see where Norm goes. Would also love to connect and learn more about the company!

Legion Health (YC S21) | Founding Engineer (AI-Native Ops Infra) | San Francisco | ONSITE | VISA SPONSORSHIP | $130k–$190k + Equity

Legion Health is building the AI-native operations layer for mental health care. We run our own psychiatric practice and use AI agents to handle the complex "backend" of healthcare—scheduling, intake, documentation, billing, and risk detection. We have $3M+ ARR, $7M+ raised, and our infrastructure currently supports 2,000+ patients with only one human support lead.

We're hiring a Founding Engineer to own our backend and agent systems end-to-end. This is not a "wrapper" role; you will be architecting the state machines and event streams that turn clinical intent into reliable operations.

The Role:

Build AI Co-workers: Implement agents with tool use, memory, and safety rails that act as trustworthy teammates for clinicians.

Event-Driven Architecture: Design the schemas and workflows (Node.js/TypeScript/Postgres) that encode how psychiatric care operates.

High Impact: Your work lands in real clinical workflows immediately, directly improving patient access and care quality.

Tech Stack: Node.js, TypeScript, Supabase (Postgres), AWS (ECS/Lambda), Next.js 15, OpenAI/Anthropic.

Offer:

Comp: $130k–$190k base + significant early equity (0.2%–0.8%).

Location: San Francisco (In-person).

Process: Intro -> Systems Deep Dive -> Practical Work Trial (No Leetcode) -> Onsite. We move fast (7-10 days).

Email me at yash@legion.health if you have questions or if you're super cracked and I have to know about you.

Apply here: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/legionhealth/ffdd2b52-eb21-489e-b12...
