We’re building tools for storytellers, worldbuilders, writers, and creators.
We’re looking for a Design Engineer who can design and build polished product experiences end-to-end. You should care deeply about taste, interaction, motion, and frontend craft, but also understand enough about APIs, auth, and data flow to avoid getting blocked.
We’re AI-native, but not trying to replace human creativity. We use tools like Cursor and Claude Code as leverage to move faster while keeping a high quality bar.
Strong fit if you’ve shipped real things, can go from rough idea to polished implementation without waiting for perfect specs, and have built interfaces that feel good, not just functional.

Company: We’re building a geologic modelling software, based on reasoning, to help mining and mineral exploration companies work faster. Our goal is to create a way to enable open-ended, interpretive geologic problem solving to be done programmatically, changing the way to explore for hard rock and critical minerals. Currently in active fundraising.
Role: You are the founding engineer on the team, joining co-founder (Neil, CEO) and myself (Jeff, CTO) as first employee. You’ll have a deep influence over systems and architecture. You will have ownership through the entire stack from the database, through geostatistical backend services, through 3D rendering on the client side.
Work rooted in agentic systems, so an understanding of the internals of things like Claude Code, and a broader understanding of orchestrating agents to complete complex discrete tasks is important.
You:
- Fluent in Typescript, Python, and framework/tooling agnostic (Currently using things like NextJS, Supabase, Cesium)
- Eager to learn about mining domain knowledge around the software.
- Ownership of the codebase, and the systems that support the software (project management, CI/CD, monitoring, etc.)
- Strong engineering fundamentals around architecture, systems and security.
- Open to doing a yearly month abroad with Neil and I. Last year, it was Oaxaca, Mexico.
Apply: Shoot me an email at jeff@deepcoretech.com with a resume, and a short blurb about yourself. If you include a 1 minute video/Loom, I'd love to see it. Must be eligible to work in Canada without a VISA requirement. We are located in Squamish, BC.

We're a small, research-driven, VC-backed team building NeoHuman: a desktop-first system that observes how people actually use AI tools, files, and workflows during real tasks, and turns those sessions into reliable evaluation evidence. We care about the process, not just the final answer — what someone typed, what they copied, what they verified, how they moved across apps.
We've published the AgentIF-OneDay benchmark. Now we're scaling the capture and evaluation infrastructure underneath it.
You'd own: - Cross-platform desktop capture across macOS + Windows (AX/UIA trees, OCR, clipboard, keyboard/mouse boundaries, file interactions) - Trace fusion — turning noisy low-level signals into clean human-readable session timelines - The evaluation evidence pipeline (data model, ingestion, exports) - LLM normalization that summarizes traces without hallucinating or hiding evidence quality - Privacy/consent/proctoring safety for enterprise customers
We want an AI-native engineer: - 3+ years shipping production TypeScript + Node.js - Built or shipped Electron + native helpers - Strong PostgreSQL (schema design, indexing, data quality) - Comfortable with OS APIs, permissions, background processes - Hands-on LLM API experience (structured output, evaluation, hallucination control) - Uses Claude Code, Cursor, or similar as a daily working medium — not a side experiment - Bonus: macOS AX / ScreenCaptureKit / CGEventTap, Windows UIA, or you've studied/built things like Screenpipe, OpenAdapt, Rewind, OpenChronicle
Stack: TypeScript · Node.js · Electron · native macOS/Windows · Next.js 15 · React 19 · Postgres + Supabase · OCR · Accessibility APIs · OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini · Vercel · GitHub Actions
Why us: Hard, unusual problem at the boundary of OS internals, multimodal capture, and AI evaluation. Small team, technical founders who code daily, real ownership of the capture stack. We hire on demonstrated capability, not credentials.
Apply: email jack@emergences.ai with your resume and a brief note about a system you've built — desktop software, AI infra, data pipelines, evaluation, or low-level debugging. Subject: "Your Name — AI / Systems Engineer". Please mention HN in the email.

I'm building an AI-native operations tool for private mortgage lenders. MVP targets two workflows that eat servicing staff time: NSF collections follow-up and renewal management. I run a Canadian private lender as my day job, so the product is built against a real shop with real data and real users. Self-funded. No VCs, no board.
The data model is locked (20 tables, multi-tenant by lender_id, idempotent CSV imports, append-only event log). Wireframes in progress. Hiring one engineer for the full ~6-month build via a paid bake-off: $5k flat for ~1 week of work, 2-3 candidates in parallel, winner takes the engagement. Losing candidates get paid in full and keep their work.
Trial scope: CSV loan tape import with idempotent upsert + audit, one case detail screen, one LLM call classifying a borrower email reply with structured output, activity log driven by case events. Stack is contractor's choice — Postgres required, Next.js + TS or Python + React expected.
Looking for senior generalists with real production LLM experience (structured outputs, evals, failure modes — not side-project tier) and strong relational data modeling judgment. Opinions you'll defend in writing.
Email: info@readifinancial.com
with: one paragraph on why this interests you, 1-2 links to shipped work involving a real schema + LLM in production, your rate and availability, and one question about the project. No cover letters.
Search terms: postgres, multi-tenant, LLM, OpenAI, Anthropic, Next.js,
TypeScript, Python, fintech, vertical SaaS, founding engineer, contract, Canada
At Shepherd, we're pursuing the most ambitious technical vision in commercial insurance: fully autonomous underwriting. Shepherd is an AI-native commercial insurance platform transforming how high-hazard industries get covered.
