Stealth PropTech Startup | Boston, MA (or Remote) | Founding Full-Stack Engineer | CONTRACT TO HIRE | Competitive Market Rate + Equity We are looking for a "Mad Scientist" engineer to build a living, gamified dashboard that disrupts a massive legacy industry (Consumer Logistics/Real Estate). The Stack: React, Next.js, Supabase, Node.js. (Bonus: Framer Motion/GSAP). The Project: This isn't a CRUD app. It is a "Command Center" that feels like a video game. It features a dynamic "AI Companion" (Nook) that actively coaches users through complex financial and logistical phases. We need someone who can take a "Frankenstein" MVP concept and turn it into a high-performance, secure, living organism. About You: * You treat your IDE like a video game. * You obsess over micro-interactions and "game feel." * You want to be Employee #1 on a product that solves a universal anxiety point for 40k+ users in Boston alone. The Deal: * Mode: Contract-to-hire. We start with the MVP build (paid project). If you survive the mission, you become the Founding Engineer. * Culture: No Jira. No PMs. Just code and shipping. To Apply: Email me at Email is hidden Do NOT send a resume. Send ONE link to the coolest/weirdest thing you have ever built. Show me code with a soul.
Kinelo | kinelo.com | Full-Stack Engineer (AI + Backend) | San Francisco | Onsite
Kinelo manages the new type of hybrid team that will emerge in the future: humans+AI working shoulder-to-“shoulder”.
Our first product helps human software engineering teams deliver more efficiently and more reliably by assisting in coordination and engineering management. But it’s built on a foundational layer that ingests data, knowledge, and process across communications and systems, exposing that to humans and AI alike.
Eventually, Kinelo will become a proper human+AI orchestration layer, managing entire companies, and our goal is to have Kinelo run Kinelo (we already dogfood it today).
We’re looking for high ownership individuals to join our small team and shape its direction. We also just opened a new SF office and new hires will have the ability to help shape company culture, engineering practices, architecture, and roadmap.
We’re well-funded (just raised another round), founded by a serial founder, anti-bureaucratic, and highly technical.
We’re looking for:
- Those who want to go 0 to 1 with high ownership: moving features and products from idea on a napkin, to prototype, to engineering UI, to shipped and polished product
- ~8 years professional experience, including the pre-LLM days with strong CS fundamentals
- A balance of wisdom from experience and optimism about the future
- Strong TypeScript and Postgres (or other RDBMS) experience at scale and with high reliability (SaaS apps, APIs, etc)
- Experience with a variety of technologies, including containerization, distributed systems, and at least one strongly typed programming language (Go, C++, Java, etc)
- Ideally experience with ML and AI systems (though expertise in ML, data science, etc is not needed for this role)
We can’t sponsor visas but relocation assistance to SF is possible.

I am looking for Product Engineers and Open Source Developers to join the KDP and kcp teams.
- Open Source Software Engineer (https://kubermatic.bamboohr.com/careers/24): Work directly on the upstream kcp project. Your contributions will have a direct impact on the open-source community and will help build a framework for managing multi-tenant services at scale. Kubermatic is the project's maintainer.
