Spruce lets users control their data across the web. Instead of users logging into platforms, we believe platforms should request to access data vaults controlled by users.
The demand for trusted digital ID is accelerating as AI deepfakes begin to destroy most of the ways we use to verify identity today. How private or secure is it to hold your driver's license or passport up to a webcam to get a bank account? Was it ever private or secure? Stable diffusion can break so much of this already. Society will need trusted digital IDs and credentials. Our mission is to allow them to be controlled by individuals, with safeguards to prevent descents into surveillance states and checkpoint societies.
We are the main implementers of category-defining initiatives such as the digital ID program for the California DMV, and the verifiable digital credentials program in Utah. We are private sector participants in NIST's National Cyber Security of Excellence initiative for privacy-preserving digital ID.
We are hiring skilled engineers who care about making a real impact in improving public services, digital autonomy, and user privacy for the world. We work closely with public sector agencies, and have high regard for public servants. We have a strong engineering and customer-oriented culture, and are not simply a SaaS product or AI wrapper. Our roles are not for the faint of heart: you will be expected to work hard and learn a lot in this role.
Our engineers are ambitious to get outcomes for our customers and their constituents. On any given day, they may write great Rust/C#/TypeScript, deal with mainframe dumps, read policy documents, respond to technical RFIs/RFPs, manage on-prem environments, implement new NFC + Bluetooth protocols in Swift/Kotlin, create CI/CD processes that enforce W3C accessibility guidelines and i18n requirements, rewrite lost specs from disassembled binaries, figure out stablecoin payments, and design new protections for public key infrastructure. It is a team effort, and people with T-shirt shaped skills are able to collaborate and learn a ton from each other every day.
We are interested in candidates who want to be proud of the meaningful impact they make for society, even if it takes time to get right. This is not the right job for someone who wants to "join a cool new AI startup" that implodes or exits in under a year.

Building an AI-powered iOS app that helps professionals make better daily decisions about fueling, movement, recovery, and schedule - timed to their real-world context (calendar, biometrics, personal history), not generic advice.
The technical challenges: HealthKit data ingestion across multiple biometric signals, real-time context assembly for LLM reasoning, a predictive model that combines multiple physiological inputs to forecast the user's state forward, and a server-side pipeline that turns all of this into one actionable recommendation at the right moment.
Stack: Swift/SwiftUI, Supabase (Postgres + Auth + Edge Functions), Claude API. AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude) are core to how we build.
You'd be engineer #1. No legacy code, no inherited decisions. You shape the architecture from the first commit. Looking for someone who's built from zero before, is strong in Swift/SwiftUI, and comfortable owning the full stack including backend. HealthKit experience is a strong plus.
andre@atemintelligence.com - mention HN in the subject line.
Beacon AI builds intelligent systems that make aviation safer and more autonomous. We’ve completed multiple DoD programs and are expanding our team with exceptional technical leaders to push the boundaries of human-machine collaboration in the cockpit. At Beacon, you will lead by example, mentoring and growing a small team of talented engineers (typically 1–2 to start) while staying hands-on in design and execution. You’ll help shape critical systems that advance aviation safety and autonomy, working alongside a team that values effort, creativity, and accountability.
We’re hiring Lead Engineers with 5-9 YOE who love solving complex problems. At Beacon, you’ll own your work end-to-end, from prototype to deployment, and literally see your code take flight in real world aviation environments! Roles:
++ Lead iOS Engineer [Tech Stack: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Mapbox]
++ Lead Infra/Backend Engineer [Tech Stack: AWS]
++ Lead WebApp/FrontEnd Engineer [Tech Stack: Python, Typescript, React]
++ Lead Autonomy/Robotics Engineer [Tech Stack: C++, Python, iOT]
Join us at beaconai.co/careers. Mention in the application that you saw our post on HN.
