I'm the hiring manager for this role, which is for an IC tech lead. Please see the full job description for details, but I'm looking for someone who is comfortable leading engineering discovery and working with Product on roadmap planning within the API payroll integrations space. The most important thing in this role will be driving your own pace and taking projects from inception to completion. A successful candidate will be good at working efficiently without many hard deadlines or micromanagement. We also want someone who has strong systems design experience and good technical leadership skills. In terms of tech stack, it's mostly Python and Typescript, including nest.js
Our interview process is pretty straightforward. There's a phone screen with our recruiter, then a culture fit/qualifying interview with my boss, a technical interview with a real-world problem (no leetcode), and finally a cross-functional team interview with myself and another engineering leader at my company. We move pretty quickly and aim to keep the process respectful of everyone's time. Happy to answer any questions here! If you'd like to apply, please email recruiting [at] vestwell [dot] com with your resume.
My name is AJ Forsythe and I'm the Founder / Chief Chicken Tender at Coop! We're an Austin TX based company on a mission to build the world’s largest decentralized food production network, starting with AI powered chicken Coops. We’ve been in the market for about 18 months and our customers are in 48 states and will generate about >10M eggs this year. It's insanely fun to work on and we have a shot at building a huge business in the connected urban farming space. If you’re big into computer vision, consumer products that are fun, and an awesome team we would love to chat. The Coop has an automatic door + cameras doing computer vision work (predator detection, egg alerts, remote health monitoring, etc). It's a super exciting time and are seeing directional product market fit which I'm thrilled about. Seriously go check out our website, it's a super fun + amazing product.
We’re a tight-knit team of 5 people with 15+ years of experience working together. We’ve been through YC, started and scaled multinational million-dollar businesses together, taking them from idea to acquisition by a Fortune 50 company. We’re gritty and passionate without taking ourselves too seriously - and we’re here to build something really exciting that helps people reconnect with their food and the planet. We're VC backed (call it $5M) by some of the world's best investors but we are a scrappy small team that moves fast. We have an absolutely fantastic CTO Ryan that I'm looking for his / our right hand person to work alongside with. I think the term full stack is overused but that's closest to what we're looking for. Also this really isn’t a traditional Eng role, I look at it as we’re a small growing team and you would be one of us working on a ton a cool projects on day 1. Also, we LOVE working with founders so if you've started a company before that's epic.
Oh also, I have a fun project where I want to make a water gun turret that uses our cameras to detect predators and allows you to aim and blast them. If you're into hacking robotics and gimbals etc, please reach out.
You can also reach out to me directly at: aj[at]coop.farm - Just email me your LinkedIn / GitHub / portfolio + why you think you'll be an awesome fit and I'll respond. Please don’t use GPT too much. This is my 3rd company (2 have exited) and I want to build the super solid core team and you might be the perfect fit for us and vice versa. Bwok Bwok! AJ
I'm Roman, co-founder of 9 Mothers. We're building AI weapon systems in Austin, TX. Our first product is designed to stop group 1 suicide drones. We started in 2025 and are still a small team of fewer than 20 people.
We're hiring for a lot of roles, but mostly in software and robotics. I'm primarily focused on robotics, so if you have a strong background in robotics, reach out to me directly at (name)@9mothers.com.
The cost of homeowners insurance, especially in natural catastrophe prone areas, has skyrocketed in recent years. Annex is solving this problem with better digital infrastructure for executing the transaction. Our platform enables insurance agents to quote and bind policies within 90 seconds vs. the current multi-day phone/email/fax-based transaction that is the status quo.
We grew 4x in 2025 and anticipate similar growth in 2026. We've done the above after deploying <$1.5m in funding. We have significant and growing momentum on both the insurance distribution and insurance capital sides of our business; our challenge now is scaling our engineering team to support that progress.
We're in that exciting early stage, where someone can contribute foundational new pieces to core parts of our platform.
