Prophet Town LLC | Various Software Engineering Roles | US – Remote and Hybrid | English fluency required | Full-time | $150K-$260K annual total comp (multiple)

We are a people-first, boutique tech agency creating on-demand teams and software solutions for long-standing clients. These clients trust us to practice engineering excellence as though we were members of their own staff. Our leadership team is ex-Fortune 100 with software engineering backgrounds: we’re still coding. Notable recent projects include a gigantic ERP migration for Anduril Industries, and a skunkworks with Surge Labs helping to develop some of the frontier LLM models themselves (yes, seriously). This is a remote-first agency, but some projects involve onsite work.

I’m the founder and CEO, and I’m trying to do what I call “enlightened business”. I take responsibility for both staff and clients, and I look for people who approach their work with a similar sense of ownership. Applicants must meet a high bar - I personally review every hire. In return you’ll get:

  * Flexibility and a low-bureaucracy environment
  * Clients that won’t treat the vendor like “the B Team”
  * The chance to act as a code architect, not just implement tickets
  * Exposure to a wide variety of industries and modern challenges
  * Me as your personal champion and advocate

Feel free to submit, even if you already did in the past.

We’re currently especially seeking:

Back-end, Front-end, and Full-Stack Software Engineers, Tiers 3 and 4 (Typescript/Javascript, React, NextJS; Ruby on Rails; Python; DevOps, and third-party API integrations)

Tier 3 roles are typically 5-10 years experience with $150-$180K total comp.

Tier 4 roles are 11-20 years experience, $215-$260K total comp.

Higher tiers exist, and we always welcome exceptional applications.

Though not yet universal, many of our clients are now demanding senior/staff engineers with success using modern agentic approaches. Be ready to explain where current models work well and where they do not.

Update here, May 13, we're still taking submissions. I have done at least a quick scan personally through all the resumes that were submitted in the Google Form through May 11 (or, tried at least -- _several_ of you have permissions issues on the link you sent, esp. if Google Docs are involved), and am trying to tie resumes that were emailed in back to form submissions for some of you. Please note that I am one of the few _not_ using an LLM/agent to help me process these things; I am going through them by hand, the old fashioned way, and in some cases poking at githubs, passion sites, and linkedin, as I go along -- because I often don't know what's good or bad until I'm in the raw data. I have only called two people so far for an initial interview, and have approximately 5 additional heads earmarked for imminent initial contact, and will continue running down my to-hit list despite only having a few hours a week to review submissions and run interviews. Some feedback (since most other firms aren't doing this?), despite nearly 150 submissions so far in May, the vast majority seem to be low-quality AI generated/submitted, and separately, just not a fit for our Tier 3 and especially our Tier 4 roles. If you can list "senior" or "staff" engineer on resume, at a company I have heard of and can verify, and were making at least $200k a year there (possibly much more) total comp, I really would love for you to throw your hat in my ring. For a little more anchoring against the T4 position -- I'm hoping to see career high-watermark of at least Google L4 / Microsoft 63 / Amazon SDE2 level.

I mean, feel free to throw your name in our system by submitting, but yeah, the vast majority of our work is directly for our clients, and right now in May 2026, most of our clients are states side and most like at least _the idea_ that they could fly somebody on our staff out for an onsite with them if needed. That said, we have had (and in one case still have) international clients, and sometimes local clients don't mind timezone issues as much if they get good talent for money; things are always in flux in the market.

You're more than welcome to apply, and we'll have a record of your resume/cv and interest if you do. And, we do engage talent from abroad, and even have a client in Europe (Norway). But, just to set expectations, we're strongly focused on filling in-USA roles at the moment.

REGARDING DECEMBER - if you already submitted to last December's post, and haven't heard from us yet, we're still getting to you. The team's been working really hard over the last year, and I unexpectedly gave most of the folks helping me with job submissions the time off at the end of December / beginning of January. Apologies for the delay, and we will be with you soon. Rest assured there are jobs we're trying to fill - in fact, more than ever, it seems.

@alexander2002 - "mostly". The jobs we're actively sourcing for here are USA remote and/or hybrid. As we say, we're always interested in exceptional resumes, where-ever they are in the world, and we do have some international staff. Americas timezone aligned or alignable is vastly preferred. I don't want to get anybody's hopes up, but I don't want to limit myself either.

If you submitted and haven't heard from us, we are hoping to be in touch ASAP! Thank you. And yes, meanwhile, we are still accepting submissions.
