Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2026)

Zippy is a fintech company rethinking how people buy one of the most overlooked forms of housing in the U.S.—manufactured homes. Instead of the slow, fragmented, paperwork-heavy mortgage process, Zippy has built a fully digital, end-to-end lending platform that makes getting a home loan fast, simple, and actually user-friendly.

What makes it interesting for an engineer: you’re not just building CRUD apps - you’re owning complex, multi-system infrastructure that touches lending, underwriting, compliance, and customer experience, all in a space that’s historically underserved and inefficient.

At its core, Zippy is using software to unlock access to affordable housing—turning a broken, manual financial process into a scalable, tech-driven product that directly impacts people’s ability to become homeowners.

Opendate | Senior Full Stack Engineer (Ruby on Rails) | REMOTE (US only) | Full-time | https://www.opendate.io/careers/senior-full-stack-software-e...

Opendate is the operating system for live music venues — booking, ticketing, marketing, and settlement, all in one place. We replace the tangle of spreadsheets, holds-and-confirms email chains, and ticketing platforms that independent venues, promoters, and festivals have been duct-taping together for decades. Customers range from 200-cap clubs to multi-day festivals.

We're a Rails shop with real backend problems: multi-tenant ticketing at on-sale scale, financial settlements that have to reconcile to the penny, and integrations with the rest of the music industry's plumbing (Stripe, Dwolla, Seats.io, Twilio, SendGrid). If you like systems where correctness actually matters and the users are people you can go meet at a show, you'll fit in.

Stack: Rails, React/Redux, PostgreSQL, Redis, BigQuery, AWS, GCP, Docker, Terraform. Flutter on mobile. AI-first engineering culture — Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot are part of the daily workflow, not banned from it.

100% remote within the US (no sponsorship), with optional Indianapolis or Chicago offices if you want them. Looking for 5+ years of senior full-stack experience, comfortable owning projects end-to-end and shipping to production weekly.

We are the autonomous brain that makes driver risk intelligence possible at scale.

Canopi is a Microsoft for Startups company building entirely on Azure, and is hiring engineers who want to build something that doesn't exist in the market today. We are open to an equity-first engagement while we close our seed round.
