Prophet Town LLC | Various Software Engineering Roles | US – Remote and Hybrid | English fluency required | Full-time | $150K-$260K annual total comp (multiple) We are a people-first, boutique tech agency creating on-demand teams and software solutions for long-standing clients. These clients trust us to practice engineering excellence as though we were members of their own staff. Our leadership team is ex-Fortune 100 with software engineering backgrounds: we’re still coding. Notable recent projects include a gigantic ERP migration for Anduril, and working with Surge Labs to help develop some of the frontier LLM models themselves (yes, seriously). This is a remote-first agency, but some projects involve onsite work. I’m the founder and CEO, and I’m trying to do what I call “enlightened business”. I take responsibility for both staff and clients, and I look for people who approach their work with a similar sense of ownership. Applicants must meet a high bar - I personally review every hire. In return you’ll get: * Flexibility and a low-bureaucracy environment * Clients that won’t treat the vendor like “the B Team” * The chance to act as a code architect, not just implement tickets * Exposure to a wide variety of industries and modern challenges * Me as your personal champion and advocate Feel free to submit, even if you already did in the past. We’re currently especially seeking: * Back-end, Front-end, and Full-Stack Software Engineers, Tiers 3 and 4 (Typescript/Javascript, React, NextJS; Ruby on Rails; Python; DevOps, and third-party API integrations) Tier 3 roles are typically 5-10 years experience with $150-$180K total comp. Tier 4 roles are 11-20 years experience, $215-$260K total comp. Higher tiers exist, and we always welcome exceptional applications. Though not yet universal, many of our clients are now demanding senior/staff engineers with success using modern agentic approaches. Be ready to explain where current models work well and where they do not. Please apply using this Google Form: https://forms.gle/R5b8FaGEM7CSJzsC7 Also because posting some visibility has been popular with you guys: * We got 170 responses to our July HN Who's Hiring, and made 3 offers. * We're hoping to hire about 5 people before August 31, even though we're starting a little late.

Proxima Fusion | Senior Software Engineer (Dev Platform) | Munich, Germany | ONSITE | Full-time We're building the world's first commercial stellarator fusion power plant. First spin-out from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, based on Wendelstein 7-X (the largest stellarator ever built), €650M+ raised, teams in Munich, Zurich and Oxford. Finding a good stellarator design means searching an enormous high-dimensional space, and every candidate design needs heavy plasma physics simulation. That's the compute problem this role owns: cloud + HPC clusters, K8s, Ray, Dask, and the platform work around it (CI/CD, IaC, observability). You'd sit directly next to the physicists and AI researchers burning through that compute, so you see exactly what your infrastructure unlocks. Python and Linux. If you've wanted to point your platform engineering skills at something that actually matters, clean, abundant energy, this is about as direct a shot as it gets, and it's happening in Europe. Interview process: recruiter call, technical screen, technical panel, CEO call. https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/proxima-fusion/5aebfef0-0c2c-4c87-9...

Alaffia Health | Principal Engineer (TypeScript) | NYC (Hybrid) | Full-time Alaffia Health is a Series B healthtech company in NYC fixing a real, expensive problem: US health plans lose billions every year to improper payments and administrative waste in claims processing.

We're hiring a Principal Engineer, backend-heavy role (85-90% backend), to own architecture across multiple teams and help set technical direction as we scale.

You'd be: Owning delivery on systems spanning multiple teams Driving adoption of AI coding tools (we use Claude Code) with real usage across the team, not just experimentation Mentoring senior engineers, influencing technical decisions without needing to go the management track Working closely with product and business leadership on technical strategy Looking for 15+ years of experience, real hands-on TypeScript backend depth (Node.js, NestJS, or similar), and ideally some exposure to healthcare, fintech, or another regulated-data environment, though that's a plus, not a hard requirement. Hybrid, 4 days/week in our SoHo office. Please apply on the site:https://careers.kula.ai/alaffia/34483c
