Join (https://join.build) | Staff Software Engineer | Remote | $175K–$205K + equity Join builds collaboration software for the construction industry — helping contractors, owners, and architects coordinate on high-value projects. React, Golang, Postgres. We deploy to AWS via Terraform.

We're hiring multiple staff engineers across a range of profiles: frontend-heavy, fullstack, and backend-heavy. We're especially looking for 1–2 engineers with architect-level frontend chops (React, TypeScript, state management, perf) who can own UI quality and level up the team. But we're also very interested in strong Go/Postgres or infra/ops backgrounds.

Day to day you'll write code (25–75%), review PRs (25–50%), and pair/mentor/document (10–20%). You'll act as a technical lead on projects, break down large efforts, and influence architectural decisions across the org. Small cross-functional teams with a designer, PM, and EM.

Stack: React, TypeScript, Golang, Postgres, GraphQL/Apollo, Vite, Cypress, Terraform, AWS (ECS, RDS, Lambda). We lightly use Elastic and are interested in event-driven patterns.

Fully remote, 100% employer-paid medical, 401(k), two company-wide shutdown weeks, continuing education budget.

To apply: send resume to jon@join.build. If you are able to please include a PR review you've given that had a positive impact (or a description/snippet if that's confidential).

Lantern | Software Engineers (Python, Full-Stack) | NYC (Onsite) | Full-time | withlantern.com Lantern is building AI-powered revenue intelligence—autonomous agents that turn cold outreach into warm conversations. We detect buying signals across your tech stack, prioritize opportunities, and help B2B sales teams focus on deals that actually close. We're early, agentic-first, and moving fast. Senior Software Engineer: You'll own complex technical problems end-to-end—translating customer needs into scalable architecture, optimizing AI model efficiency through prompt engineering, and shipping features that directly impact how revenue teams operate. We want bold ideas and people who push boundaries.

Junior Software Engineer: You'll work across our stack (Python, FastAPI, Next.js, React) alongside senior engineers, contributing to real features from day one. Great fit if you're hungry to learn, ship fast, and grow with a startup building cutting-edge agentic systems.

New Grad Software Engineer: Entry point for recent grads excited about AI and agentic systems. You'll get hands-on experience with our modern data stack (Postgres, ElasticSearch, ClickHouse, DuckDB), Kubernetes/AWS deployment, and Temporal.io workflow orchestration while shipping production code.

This role is based in our Manhattan office (4 days/week in-person). Full health and dental coverage.

A24 Films (Labs Division) | Senior DevOps Engineer/SRE/Platform Engineer | Full time | Onsite/Hybrid (NYC) We do movies, ping pong blimps, etc https://labs.a24films.com/jobs/devops If you email me, mention hn ;)

CloudFormation and ECS are bright yellow flags for me. I'd be interested in knowing why you went with this proprietary tooling vs the open source Terraform and Kubernetes/EKS alternatives. Also, is paid relocation available if I wanted to relocate to NYC? Currently in Charleston, SC.
