Gumroad — NYC (onsite/hybrid) — Hiring Product/Engineering

We build tools that help creators sell directly to their audiences. Small team, big surface area: you’ll ship end-to-end (product → design → code → metrics).

Looking for: strong product-minded engineers (backend, full-stack, or generalist). Bonus if you’ve built marketplaces, payments, or creator tools.

Nice-to-have stack: Rails/Stripe/Postgres/Redis/React/TypeScript—but we value ownership over checkboxes.

Email sahil@gumroad.com with a couple links (GitHub, portfolio) and 2–3 sentences on why you want to build for creators.

Show HN: Shortest, a natural language AI-powered testing framework

sahillavingia — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 15:47:45 +0000

Shortest is an open-source AI-powered testing framework that allows developers to write end-to-end tests in plain English, as simple as:

shortest(“user can sign up and create a $5 product”)

The thesis is that being able to write short tests in English → more tests → fewer regressions as AI writes and ships more code.

Would love to hear what you all think! Feedback (and contributions) welcome.
