CareIgnition | Senior Software Engineer (Generalist) | REMOTE, Chicago (US Only)

Medical billing in America is a black box of fragmented data and inefficiency. At CareIgnition, we are building the transparency layer for healthcare. We transform massive, messy datasets into financial clarity for employers and providers.

We are looking for a pragmatic generalist. You’ll be working across the entire stack: from building customer-facing features in React and Django to architecting data pipelines that process petabytes of medical claims and rates. Crucially, this role involves deep algorithmic and analytical work. You won't just move data; you will implement the logic that makes sense of it.

We value "generalist" DNA—engineers who are as comfortable optimizing a SQL query as they are building a clean UI component. If you enjoy solving high-scale data problems that have a direct impact on healthcare affordability, we’d love to talk.

Tech: Python, Django, React, AWS (ECS, Step Functions, Athena), SQL (DuckDB/Polars), Iceberg/Redshift.

If interested, reach to me at vikram.chauhan [at] careignition.com

Please don't build this. We don't need human extinction due to hijacking the evolutionary instinct to bond with other people and knowingly guiding people down an evolutionary dead end. There are so many ideas to explore and problems to solve. I would be happy to give you 5 for free, I have more problems in my business laboratory than I have time to build. I'll give you a few ideas to work on. Book office hours if you…

Not the posted but may I contact you ?

There's absolutely no way it's worse than porn or obesity or - hell - war or climate change or any of the millions of shitty things humans do to each other. In fact some people might learn emotional intelligence.

LocalRoute.ai | Founding Engineer (Infra / Full-Stack) | NYC or REMOTE (US)

We’re an early-stage startup building a privacy-first AI routing layer for teams running multiple models across on-prem and hybrid environments.

The problem: AI workloads default to overpowered models and leak sensitive data because there’s no intelligent routing layer.

We’re looking for a founding engineer who enjoys systems-level problems, ambiguity, and owning architecture end-to-end. You’ll help design routing logic, policy enforcement, and developer-facing interfaces from the ground up.

Tech we’re working with / around: backend services, model orchestration, infra, performance, privacy boundaries (stack flexible at this stage).

Location: NYC preferred, open to strong remote (US) Stage: very early, YC-bound Comp: equity (range depends on stage and fit)

Email: Team@localroute.ai (include a few lines on what you’ve built and what excites you)
