Why this grade
This listing scored 58/100, which is a C. It lost the most ground on pay transparency.
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Remote clarity 15 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
- Pay transparency 0 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →
hn-hiring
Cardog turns raw vehicle data into facts you can check: VIN decode, market price, recalls, and what the car's own modules report. Insurers, dealers, manufacturers and the public bodies that register vehicles all use it. We're a small team and every engineer owns a whole area.
Data
- Data Platform Engineer (Remote). Own the datasets: government files, manufacturer filings, dealer listings, signals from the vehicle. Decide which source wins when two disagree, and be able to prove it. SQL first, entity resolution, tens of millions of rows. Postgres, TypeScript, Workers, R2.
- VIN Decode Engineer (Remote). Own decode accuracy. Read manufacturer filings line by line, write the patterns, and test them against millions of real VINs. For people who are obsessive about correctness. TypeScript, Postgres.
Design
- Design Engineer (Remote). Own the component library and the screens built on it. Dense data, and making uncertain or missing values look uncertain. You design in the browser and you merge it yourself. React, Next.js, Tailwind.
- Founding Engineer, Dealer Platform (Toronto / Remote). First engineer on software for dealer groups. Time in stores, then ship it the same week. Strong Postgres, multi-tenant.
Business
- Account Executive (Toronto / Remote). Enterprise and public-sector sales cycles measured in quarters. Run technical first calls alone and pull your own numbers in SQL.
- Policy & Standards Lead (Ontario). Represent us in the consultations and standards bodies writing the rules for vehicle data. Closer to counsel than comms.
Field
- Hardware Engineer, Vehicle Interface (Toronto). Own the diagnostic-port device: board, firmware, enclosure, from bench to a unit on a dealer lot. C or Rust, CAN at the frame level, UDS/ISO-TP against real cars.
- Forward Deployed Engineer (Ontario). Take named accounts from the first meeting to a running system. TypeScript, SQL, and some time under dashboards.
