Why this grade This listing scored 45/100, which is a D. It lost the most ground on pay transparency. See the breakdown
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Description depth 14 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Remote clarity 8 / 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 →
This listing does not state a salary
$125k – $188k
That is the middle half of what comparable roles paid on this board over the last 90 days — 59 listings that did publish a figure, median $160k. 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
Hiya makes phone calls trustworthy again. We do caller ID, spam and scam protection, and branded calling for carriers, phone makers, and businesses.
I run the Communications Platform team (Seattle + Barcelona). We're building new systems where telephony meets AI: real-time scam detection on live calls, deepfake voice detection, speaker verification, and AI call screening that plugs into carrier networks. Most of it is new work, so you'll help make early architecture decisions.
Stack: TypeScript/Node.js, SIP/RTP, STT/TTS, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, Helm.
Looking for 3+ years of backend experience, strong TypeScript or Python, and comfort with APIs and event-driven systems. VoIP/telephony experience is a big plus but not required. I came to telecom from a software background too.
