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
$127k – $168k
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
Cleverbase runs an API platform for online trust: qualified e-signatures, PKI, digital identity and high-assurance identity onboarding for European organisations. We’re now building towards the EU Digital Identity Wallet and the European Business Wallet. Helping customers design and ship their solutions on our platform matters as much to us as building the platform itself.
As a Qualified Trust Service Provider under eIDAS, what we ship has to be demonstrably correct, auditable and secure, and we still deploy frequently. We go beyond compliance by applying modern cryptography to better protect personal data, because our mission is everyone secure online.
Stack: JVM (Scala with Cats/Cats-Effect, http4s, fs2, doobie), gRPC, Postgres and HSMs for the trust services; TypeScript (React, NestJS, oRPC, Drizzle, Playwright) for web; standards like JSON/XML/PDF signatures and OpenID. Experience with this exact stack isn't required, but interest in cryptography or digital identity is.
