Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2026)

Colonist | Product Engineer| Full-time | Remote & async

Colonist.io is a multiplayer board game platform. ~20 people, millions of monthly players, no middle management between you and the product.

You'll own features end-to-end and ship to a live player base within days. Right now we're evolving the core experience and building toward a multi-game platform. The mission is to become the internet's biggest board game platform.

This role is a good fit if you: want to see your work matter at real scale without a large team around you, are comfortable with ambiguity and don't need someone to define your tasks, and use AI tools as a genuine multiplier in your workflow.

Confido Legal | Sr. Engineer | REMOTE (US only) | Full-time | $175k–$225k base

Confido Legal builds payments infrastructure for the legal industry. We're hiring a senior engineer to design, build, and maintain our software — leading architecture and product design, and translating business requirements into technical specs.

This is a broad, high-ownership role on a small team: you'll ship and maintain features end-to-end, lead architecture discussions, write clean and testable code, build automated E2E tests, do code reviews, and participate directly in company strategic planning. You'll also work closely with marketing and sales to keep technical work aligned with the business.

Stack: TypeScript everywhere, React + Next.js (mid-migration to Next.js), AWS with Pulumi IaC, Docker/ECS, GraphQL API, Figma (engineers participate in UI/UX).

We're looking for an expert in three or more of these (TypeScript required) with 3+ years of engineering experience.

~2 onsite meetings/year. Open PTO, fully paid medical/vision/dental. Apply: https://careers.confidolegal.com/careers/sr-engineer

AiMi | Full Stack AI Engineer | Remote(Everywhere) | Full-time

AiMi builds agentic AI infrastructure for capital markets: autonomous agents that ingest venue and vendor notifications, assess impact across client infrastructure, and drive change management workflows in real time, replacing what used to be manual, static processes for exchanges and their ops teams. live production platform, not a pilot.

you'd work across the full stack: React/TypeScript frontend, Node.js backend, AWS Lambda. concretely: shipping features in the agent pipeline, building MCP-based connectors and skills that extend what our agents can reach, running evals on agent accuracy and reliability, building observability and alerting for agent latency/error rates/failed workflows, and making long-running LLM, agent, and SSE calls actually resilient (timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, fail-fast, recovery). also a fair amount of diagnosing dependency/version conflicts in a Node.js/npm monorepo, which is its own skill.

looking for 2-3+ years hands-on experience, solid Node.js and REST API background, real hands-on work with LLMs or agent frameworks (Mastra, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Claude, OpenAI or similar), comfortable with AWS (Lambda, Bedrock, DynamoDB, S3, Cognito, API Gateway, CloudWatch), MongoDB/DynamoDB, and genuinely tests what you ship (unit, integration, e2e). familiarity with spec-driven development (Claude Code, Cursor, CodeRabbit or similar) is a real plus since that's how we work day to day. bonus points for capital markets/trading infra background, LLM observability tooling like Langfuse, SSE streaming experience, or PostHog.

you'd be working on great things here: real architectural decisions at an early-stage company, visible impact from week one, and room to grow into a senior or lead role as we grow.

Apex Dental Partners | Full-Stack Developer | Dallas, TX | REMOTE (US) or HYBRID | Full-time | apexdp.com

We're a Dental Support Organization running 65 practices across eight states. Dentistry doesn't sound like a technical job, but the platform behind it is: we've built our own operations system (Rails 8 + React, Electron, Go, and C#/.NET against OpenDental, all on AWS) and we're pushing hard on automation and AI to make the practices run better.

The team is small and developers own problems end-to-end. You'll figure out why a billing workflow breaks down, design the fix, ship it, and hear from the office manager who uses it the next week. Recent work includes an AI-first metrics layer that answers operational questions in chat, automated patient scheduling and communication, insurance verification scraping, and a live PMS integration across every practice. The domain is wide (clinical workflows, payroll, patient comms, revenue cycle) and there's a lot of novel work left once you learn the business. Big emphasis placed on being able to sit down with non-engineering team members and understand their workflows and build software to make it better.

Good fit if you want a stable company, a small team, broad latitude, and work that visibly matters to the people using it. We're actively building new features, not just maintaining what exists, so there's a healthy mix of greenfield work and improving a platform that's already in daily use by our nearly 1,000 employees.

Must reside in the US and be authorized to work in the US without sponsorship.
