EQTY Lab | Software Engineers & DevRel | San Fransisco or Toronto | Full-time

EQTY Lab is focused on emerging governance and security paradigms for AI infrastructure. Our primary focus is verifiable computing using cryptographic capabilities to identify and govern agent behavior.

We're also focused on helping the industry advance with frontier tooling. From requesting the hooks feature in Claude Code, to building our own open-source integrated capabilities such as https://github.com/eqtylab/cupcake - we will continue to explore and share the things we develop for coding agents or any frontier tooling enterprise is quickly adopting.

We're seeking software engineers across the full stack. To include,

    - engineers interested in governance tooling
    - sdk writing in TypeScript or Rust
    - or engineers with cryptographic security domain experience
    - or deeper hardware level focus (platforming on Kubernetes - confidential computing, custom firmware as it relates to GPUs).
For all of this, we're seeking experienced devrel to help us communicate and build tooling the right way.

Please email me directly: ramos@eqtylab.io

Gauge | Founding Engineer | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | Full-time

Gauge helps companies show up in more AI answers. Search traffic is shifting away from Google into AI chat, and companies are figuring out how to adapt right now. Our system delivers real-time analytics derived from millions of LLM answers, while providing an intuitive, powerful UX. We also generate optimized articles to improve our customers’ visibility, and offer an agentic chat interface over their data (think ‘Why was there a spike on 12/10?’ or ‘Which of my pages should I refresh?’).

I'm Evan, the CTO, and we're looking for engineers with strong programming fundamentals, creative problem solving skills, and a high-agency working style. You might be a good fit if you are an ex-founder, ex-founding engineer, or have worked at a Seed/Series A startup.

We primarily use Django, React, Postgres, Celery, and Clickhouse.

Contact me with your resume (and mention HN) if you're interested: evan[at]withgauge.com

Charge Robotics | Multiple Roles | Full-time | Onsite | SF Bay Area

Hi HN! We’re a YC-backed, Series-A startup building robots that build large-scale solar farms.

Check out a video of our first system here! https://youtu.be/ZZ2fP1Y5Z2E

It turns out that construction companies literally can't build solar fast enough, so what we're doing is a crucial part of switching the grid over to renewable generation.

You’ll be a key contributor, helping bring our next generation of mobile solar factory to life.

Come work with us if you love:

* Fast-paced prototype development with software and hardware components

* Making a positive climate impact through your work

* Hacking on massive construction equipment!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I would clarify this in the HN post. As it is right now, it looks like this is a remote first role when the reality is it is a hybrid role. Just because you might be willing to make an exception doesn't make it a remote role.

I said what I meant in the original HN post. I would encourage folks with relevant experience and interest to apply regardless of location. The bulk of the current team, myself included, is remote and has been for years.

Are all of your positions like that, or only durable objects? I was always interested but the defined locations in the job descriptions held me back from applying.

ProPublica | Director of Product Engineering | Remote (US only) or NYC | Full-time

ProPublica is a non-profit newsroom that investigates abuses of trust in the public interest. Journalism we published last year shed light on the impact of DOGE and ICE, investigated right-wing militias, told stories about the US medical system, and more. Here were our most-read stories in 2025: https://www.propublica.org/article/propublica-most-read-stor...

I'm the Senior Director of Technology. I'm hiring a pragmatic, mission-driven Director of Product Engineering, who will report to me, in order to provide more support for our product engineers who work on our publishing and data products. (This is not a reporting position.) You'll directly lead and manage a small team of engineers and help us to create and maintain great engineering processes.

More about the role here, including a direct route to apply:

https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/propublica/jobs/4623874006?...

Or get in touch with me at ben.werdmuller [at] propublica.org if you'd like to have a conversation about it.

The expected salary range for this position is $170,000 to $180,000. We cannot sponsor visas and must hire in the US. The role is almost fully remote: we have two in-person week-long summits a year.

EnsoData | healthcare, sleep, machine learning | Hybrid or Remote (Madison, WI) | Product Manager - Software Medical Devices SaaS | Full Time | $110k-$130k + bonus, stock options | https://apply.workable.com/ensodata/j/5FD6175FEB/

Sleep is vital to recharging mentally, restoring our bodies physically, and fighting off disease. Sleep is so core to our health that it's the activity we all spend most of our life doing. Yet sleep disorders are some of the most underdiagnosed health conditions on the planet, with an estimated 80% of obstructive sleep apnea patients undiagnosed and untreated

EnsoData uses machine learning, integration with pulse oximeter hardware, mobile apps, and clinician review UIs to automate sleep study scoring and give sleep clinicians tools to find and help patients with sleep disorders.

We're hiring a product manager to uncover what features our customers crave most, conduct discovery research in the sleep industry, define and prioritize product requirements, partner with engineers to ship features, and work with marketers to tell compelling product stories. You'll manage the product development process from whiteboard mockups tested with real users through to detailed specs and launch, breaking down ambiguous problems into releasable slices that bring AI-powered sleep diagnosis to more patients.
