Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2025)

Touchpoint is transforming the restaurant industry for brands, staff, and guests.

Unlike the bloated, integration-heavy systems from legacy providers, Touchpoint delivers a unified platform that adds value at every interaction. Built natively into our ecosystem are:

- In-store POS/KDS/CFD/Kiosk

- A cross-platform mobile ordering app and website

- Gift card and payment processing

- The most successful loyalty system in the industry

- Direct marketing tools

- Data analytics and business intelligence

Our stack:

- Backend: Mostly PHP on FreeBSD, with some ETL/backend systems containerized on Linux

- Frontend: TypeScript + Vue/Quasar, deployed cross-platform

- Data & Cloud: ClickHouse, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, SNS/SQS, deployed via SST and CDK

We’re looking for pragmatic, detail-oriented developers excited to build and refine a modern, growing platform. Our small team structure means your work will have real, immediate impact. We're especially interested in people who can ramp up quickly and start shipping meaningful improvements without a long onboarding runway.

We are working with a consortium of public broadcasters around the world to create a publicly-owned public-interest online space that helps people with different viewpoints understand each other and relate to each other. This project has a lot of momentum behind it, particularly as recent political changes in the US are getting countries interested in the idea of digital sovereignty.

Our partners have a combined regular audience that collectively includes a substantial fraction of the western world, so if we get the product to a good enough state that they can promote it aggressively, it has the potential to be one of the biggest and most important platforms in the world.

The New Public dev team currently consists of me, Rob Ennals (ex Google, Meta, Quora), Blaine Cook (created Twitter), and Daniel Bachhuber (ran Wordpress.com), so it's a fun team to be on. We also have very strong experienced Designers and PMs.

Particularly interested in people with experience working on social products, experience being a core developer of a large product with lots of external contributors, or a deep interest in helping people with different viewpoints relate to each other.
