Fyxed.com | Fintech Engineers | Fully Remote

Fyxed deploys capital to landlords and their property managers for cash needs like repairs, turnovers, and improvements on rental properties.

We're at an inflection point where we have the deployment capital ($50M) to really take a big swing at this opportunity.

The perfect candidate has prior fintech (lending) experience, loves wrangling the complexities of reconciling/tracking money, and bonus points if you've built on top of Column.com's API.

Houmanoids | https://houmanoids.com | Lots of roles

We're integrating robots in and around buildings (focused in America for now). Example usecases:

- security guards, doormen, receptionists (low mobility using humanoids)

- security patrol around perimeter of buildings (high mobility using dogs)

- moving things/packages within a building (last step package delivery)

We are building on top of Unitree's hardware and there's lots to do.

- abstraction layer similar to Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android

- appstore

- example reference apps (think mail, calculator, camera, maps)

996 work environment due to collaboration/communication requirements with folks in China and insatiable demand for deploying robots.

deploy at houmanoids.com goes to myself (founder) and cto/cofounder


How does your company manage the fact that 996 is illegal?

Killing robots made by slaves. Where do I sign up?


I wouldn't do it, killbots have a preset kill limit: an antagonist can just send waves of men after men until they reach their limit.


to add to the post, our humans are all over the world but we have folks in the States, Latam, Philippines, and other SE Asian countries. they primarily do accounting/bookkeeping tasks today (for us at APM Help which I'm the founder).


APM Help | Remote | Full-time Software Engineers (engineering manager, security manager, go developer, banking & fintech engineers

We help manage 1 million+ residential rentals across America (primarily accounting, banking & finance) and we're likely to double our engineering team from 8 > 16 this year (broader co is 250+ FTE).

We have 3 engineering & product teams (US, Brazil, South Asia) and likely will prioritize folks in those regions.

Specific call outs for: - product folks with banking/fintech experience - financial/data analyst on hundreds of thousands of financials - crypto/dao lawyer

Please don't just send a resume but help us get excited about you by sending an email to "hn at apmhelp.com" the group is monitored by founder (me), CIO & CTO


sigh. hate having to do this but i've exhausted all other efforts. really hope airbnb can get back to its glory days as my experience is nothing short of embarrassing.


Seems like your AirBnB luck has run out.

The couch photo was bad, but not that far off from what I would consider a typical AirBnB experience.

If an employer ever tried to book me an AirBnB on a work trip I'd politely decline and find my own accommodations.


APM Help | Fully Remote | Senior Engineers | Full-Time | https://www.apmhelp.com

Howdy! APM Help is silently one of the largest SFR (single family rental) operators in America with over 300k units we help manage. We see ourselves becoming the operations layer (back office) of every local (boots on the ground) property manager in America. We have big challenges we think can be solved with tech/automation/AI in the areas of leasing, accounting, maintenance, finance, insurance, and compliance because every single rental unit is effectively a small business.

We're effectively bootstrapped ($7M+ ARR), cash flow positive, operating close to the Rule of 60 and we're looking for engineers who are maybe tired of the hype and wanting to solve real fundamental problems in housing in America.

Side note - we're very happy with international engineers but if you come to me asking for a US engineer comp, it takes away the primary reason why we'd consider international in the first place.


> we're very happy with international engineers but if you come to me asking for a US engineer comp, it takes away the primary reason why we'd consider international in the first place

So engineers outside the US are fine if you can get them at a steep discount compared to their American counterparts? This sounded quite appealing until this line. Now I feel like the company is overly stingy. In the future you may want to leave this line out and simply tailor offers to the candidates when the time comes.


meh. it's just the reality and the last time i posted (and hired a few from HN post), it was a recurring thing. we actually pay above market locally but when someone in Brazil is demanding $200k/year USD to start... it unfortunately turns into a non-starter.


Yes, people who do the same work should be paid differently based on where they live. It makes complete sense.


sorry it's not the same work and most of the time no where close to same effort. there are timezone, culture, language, and many other differences that have to be bridged so when I can hire an engineer in the US for $200k and an international engineer for $200k (with all of the differences), the reality is, i'm going to hire a US engineer doing the "same work".


My word of (unsolicited) advice: think about how you come across in some of these statements and responses. There are companies like GitLab which geoarbitrage and scale the pay based on location. It is fine to do but they don't approach it in an antagonistic manner. It is neutral and pay is adjusted to cost of living. That is that.

When I read the original post and the responses, why would I even bother applying if outside the US when I will clearly be treated like a second class citizen from the start?

Maybe I'm doing more harm than good here if you end up hiding your true beliefs in future job postings. Maybe only target US devs if there is such a bias already.

One last thing to consider, lets say you can pay $150-200k USD (arbitrary number). You would likely have trouble finding talent in US tech hubs like SF, but you open yourself to near top of the market in places in Romania and Bulgaria. One competent international hire can (and will likely) be cheaper multiple mediocre local hires. Except now, the way that you present yourself will certainly scare away these competent international engineers who likely have experience interfacing with colleagues in the US to expect such compensation.

edit: To last last part, basically you are scaring away international talent, leaving subpar international candidates to apply, which then goes on to reinforce you preexisting notions. Then you trap yourself in a positive feedback loop leaving you with a limited view of the world.


Will take years to upgrade the entire fleet. Until then…T_T


ACE score of 0. Based on the questions, I had a gifted upbringing. I need to do more with my life considering.


second this 1000%


APM Help | Full-time CTO | Fully Remote | www.apmhelp.com America's largest residential rental operations platform

We currently help manage 300k+ SFR in 49 States with all things back office but primarily property accounting and compliance.

We're effectively bootstrapped, $6M+ ARR, cash flow positive, growing 20%+ y-o-y

We have a crack team of engineers led by a fantastic architect/eng manager but I'm still looking for the technical co-founder mentality to solve problems with weekend sprints/mvp's (build 0-1) and then hand off to a team to stabilize and scale.

Comp will be competitive with equity (if valued) - we usually give 3 options. cash no options, cash + options, little cash more options.
