Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2026)

I'm posting the monthly 'Who is hiring?' thread for November 2026. I ask companies to state the location and include REMOTE for remote work, REMOTE (US) or similar if the country is restricted, and ONSITE when remote work is not an option. Please only post if you personally are part of the hiring company—no recruiting firms or job boards—and only if you are actively filling a position and committed to replying to applicants.

NEO Holdings (stealth, regulated commodity markets infrastructure) | Malibu, CA | ONSITE (SoCal preferred) or REMOTE (US) | Full Time We are a funded and backed venture building the regulated base layer for tokenized commodities including the US-regulated trading venue, Mint and benchmarks, bridging institutional commodity markets and on-chain finance. Commodity markets trade tens of trillions a year on infrastructure designed for paper-based trading; we are what comes next. Launching Q1 2027. Roles currently available: VP of Engineering: owns the platform end to end, from on-chain contracts (Avalanche) to the trading engine, custody integrations and institutional-grade security and operations. A VP or SVP who still builds and ships, not one who just manages others; you will have a real say in the architecture before we finalize it and will work with leaders in tech and commodities. You must have done this before: delivered a trading venue or institutional token issuance, end to end. $200K to $300K base plus equity depending on experience and location. Lead Product Manager: works with our partners and customers to ensure the launch product suite is fit for purpose and aligns participant experience across onboarding, trading, collateral and reporting. You must have shipped products in a regulated financial venue, exchange, clearing house or institutional crypto platform, you write the spec yourself, and you have run product through a regulator's questions. $150K to $240K base plus equity. We hire on written replies and quality of CVs. We read every reply ourselves, so please write yours yourself. Send a short note on what you have built that is closest to the seat, with references, to [email protected] and put the role in the subject line. Please mention you came from HN.
ORFF Maestra | Prototype Developer; Technical Product Lead | REMOTE (US only) | Contract, part-time | https://orffmaestra.com/ We're preparing a U.S. Department of Education SBIR Phase IA proposal to build an assessment reasoning platform for school speech-language pathologists. It implements TTL-MSM, a fully specified decision framework for one of the hardest calls in school eligibility evaluations: whether a student's communication profile reflects a disorder or a difference. Clinicians code each source of evidence, and a fixed rule combines them. The rules are written; the software isn't. The research lead is at Baylor University. Prototype Developer ($70–95/hr): build a browser-based web app from a written spec, with privacy designed in from the start so it's ready for FERPA-protected student data later. About 15–20 hrs/week for nine months if funded. Technical Product Lead ($75–100/hr): the bridge between the clinical spec and the engineering. Scope the prototype, turn the spec into requirements, and keep the build on schedule. About 5–8 hrs/week for nine months if funded. Pre-award scoping (10–15 hrs for the developer, 5–10 for the lead) is unpaid, and funded work is contingent on award. U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Apply (structured application, about 30 minutes; replies within five business days): https://orffmaestra.com/developer https://orffmaestra.com/technical-lead

Shepherd (Series B) | ONSITE | San Francisco, CA 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. The infrastructure behind the AI boom (data centers, semiconductor fabs, renewable energy assets) has to be built and insured, but traditional carriers weren't built for this speed. We built Shepherd to solve that. We announced our $42M Series B earlier this year! That brings our total funding to over $60M — led by Intact Private Capital, the investment arm of one of the largest insurers in the world. Intact is not only our lead investor but also a carrier partner, a testament to the confidence the incumbent industry has in what we're building. We’re looking for product-minded, high ownership engineers to join our team! The Engineering team is HQ’d in SF, but we’re growing in NYC now too! We’re hiring for 2 Senior SWEs, 1 MLE and 1 AI PM in SF, and 2 Staff SWEs in NYC. Engineers own projects end-to-end so full stack ability is expected. Check out our open roles here: https://shepherdinsurance.com/careers Our stack includes: Typescript, React, Next.js, GraphQL w/ Apollo, Node.js, Postgres & Redis – If you have experience building AI agents or multi-step reasoning systems, we’d love to hear from you. * In the form, be sure to mention that you heard about this opportunity via Hacker News.

    Quantum Rise | Chicago IL or Remote (US, Brazil or EU) | Full-time | No visa sponsorship | https://www.quantumrise.com/

    Quantum Rise is an AI-forward consulting startup serving the mid-market in the US and larger enterprises in LATAM. We see companies in multiple industries struggling to understand how to leverage artificial intelligence in their day-to-day operations, trying to understand what their existing workforce now needs to know, or trying to understand whether they're about to be disrupted and need to change how their existing processes work. Many have business problems which "traditional" machine learning could help with even prior to the current GenAI hype cycle, but for whatever reason hadn't prioritized doing until now. Many have employees looking to incorporate agentic AI safely and effectively across different business areas. We try and help getting a handle around these issues and designing outcome-driven solutions.

    Agentic AI Engineer: You'll work directly with clients to benchmark, train and deploy agentic systems for industry-specific problems. We're looking for someone deeply embedded in agentic engineering practice across vendors and platforms. Companies are looking for ways to leverage agentic systems to upskill their practitioners and need help navigating a new, powerful scary world.

    AI Solutions Engineer: You're someone who has experience in traditional machine learning and data science applications in addition to more recent agentic systems.

    Kanurra | Founding Engineer | New York, NY | ONSITE | $230K to $310K + equity | https://www.kanurra.com/careers/founding-engineer

    Every prescription filled on a health plan gets priced and paid at the pharmacy counter in seconds, passing through four or five companies, and the employer paying for it almost never sees what it cost. We're building the platform those claims are priced, paid and audited on, in the open. TPAs and brokers build on it.

    I'm the founder and an engineer, and I've written most of what exists. Hiring engineer #1. The problems: paying the same claim exactly once across reversals, rebills and retries; a versioned API that outside companies build their business on; isolating each customer's health data, enforced in Postgres; and drug prices that change retroactively but still have to be explainable. Stack: Python, TypeScript, Postgres, GCP. No healthcare experience needed.

    Email me at [email protected] with something you built and the one thing in it you'd never let change.

    Zed Industries | North America, South America, Europe REMOTE | https://zed.dev/ Zed is a company for developers, by developers. All 3 of our founders have spent years in the trenches writing software and still do it almost every single day.

    We've raised $42M to support our ultimate vision, a new way to collaborate on software, where conversations about code remain connected to the code itself, instead of being tied to aging snapshots or scattered across different tools. The first step was creating a high-quality editor to serve as the user interface. Now this new investment lets us expand to tackle the next phase of our plan. We're developing a new kind of operation-based version control (https://delta.dev/) that incrementally tracks the evolution of your code with edit-level granularity, and we're integrating it into Zed to make collaboration, both with agents and teammates, a first-class part of the coding experience.
