Why this grade
This listing scored 64/100, which is a C. It lost the most ground on pay transparency.
- 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.
- Description depth 14 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- 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.
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 →

That is the middle half of what comparable roles paid on this board over the last 90 days — 27 listings that did publish a figure, median $145k. It is not this employer's offer, and we have no idea what they pay. It is only what the rest of the market advertised.
hn-hiring
Engineer — TypeScript / React / Postgres / AI
Flowstate (https://www.flowstate.inc) is building infrastructure for the emerging human + AI workforce.
Companies are rapidly adopting Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot and internal agents, but most still have very little idea what that AI is actually doing, what it costs, what work it contributes to or whether it is making the organisation better.
We’re building the systems underneath that: an AI router and proxy, native macOS and Windows apps, attribution infrastructure that connects AI activity back to work and tools for understanding how humans and AI should operate together inside a company.
We’re a small early-stage team and this is a genuinely broad founding engineering role. You’ll work across product, infrastructure, integrations, desktop apps, AI systems and whatever else needs building. We’re looking for someone who has worked in an early-stage startup before and actually enjoys the pace, ambiguity and ownership that comes with it.
Details:
- Location: London, UK
- Working style: Hybrid, with regular time together in the office
- Salary: £100k–£120k
- Equity: 0.5%–1.5%
- Benefits: Gym membership, breakfast and flexible hours
- Role: Full-time
