Prophet Town | Full-Stack Engineer + PM + DevOps/Infra | USA-ONLY REMOTE | Full-time | $240K-$370K annual total comp | English fluency required
I’m the founder, trying to do “enlightened business.” We are a small, fully-remote, sf-bay-area-based, boutique indie tech agency. Our leadership staff are all ex-Fortune 100; everybody codes. Notable recent projects: voltagepark.com and a slackbot for Anduril’s employees.
Unlike earlier HN Who's Hiring posts, we have specific existing clients in mind: total comp is not flexible hourly, but full-time salary with client-tied equity compensation. We are currently filling “Tier 3” (5-10 y/o/e, $240K-$320K annual comp) and "Tier 4" (7-20 y/o/e, $300K-$370K annual total comp) roles:
Engineers: Full stack polyglot but JS/TS heavy (SQL/NextJS/Node/React/Remix), AWS deployments.
Infra+Devops: Kubernetes/Docker, Terraform, AWS service set, common CI/CD options.
PMs: JIRA/Trello, stakeholder wrangling, proof of winning engineer trust and surviving big-org politics.
We’re a worker-first operation. Applicants must meet a high bar; in return, I pledge my personal commitment to finding you interesting work and getting you good pay.
Contact James: hn-hiring@ptown.tech. We are a small shop and can get swamped; nonetheless if you send us something by Friday Oct 4, you will hear something by Saturday Oct 5. Please make sure to include a resume in pdf format, and clarify which of the three positions you are interested in.
UPDATE: we took a snapshot of all responses we had received by 10 pm Pacific on Oct 4, and have sent out an initial email to all applicants. There are quite a lot of you :). Additional applicants may still respond, but we will prioritize first responding to those who had already submitted by our snapshot time.
