Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (September 2026)

Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

I’m a backend Java developer with 5 years of experience building and maintaining Spring Boot microservices. I have experience with CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, AWS infrastructure, and a range of code quality and security tools and practices.

For my next role, I’m looking for remote work or strong flexibility, market-rate compensation, and a collaborative team working on a meaningful product. I’d like to continue growing as a backend engineer while expanding into areas such as full-stack development, DevOps, CI/CD, and infrastructure.

I’m particularly interested in climate tech and sustainability, but I’m open to other industries and missions as well. I’m especially interested in established companies or well-structured teams that value thoughtful engineering, professional growth, and meaningful ownership.

I was previously founding and lead engineer at a London-based startup in talent-tech that got acquired last year. Then I tried to do my own thing (https://hanlec.com/) and failed at that. Now looking for my next role.

In my free time, I work on https://github.com/vmsp/flypath. A framework for web, android and iOS native apps using Server-Driven UI.

Hey, I'm Sudhir, I've been telling computers what to do for 20 years, telling teams of people what to do for 10 years, and telling AIs what to do for 2. I don't think I've figured out how to do any of it very well, but I keep learning and I've managed to help companies get a lot done.

I resigned from a Director of Engineering role a year ago, and I now build apps to help local businesses work better - I find that much more satisfying than working with companies, but of course it's hard to make it pay the bills. So I'm happy to consult in the following areas:

* Building AI enabled systems: I'm working on bringing tech usually available only to large orgs to small businesses, and making it accessible by allowing these businesses to just say what they want the systems to do in natural language - which then gets translated to sandboxed code running against hardened interfaces. Can help you with similar projects.

* Coaching teams on how to do agentic coding effectively: I've coached my own teams and held workshops based on the workflows I've developed and what I've learned and experimented with. Happy to do the same for your teams or do individual coaching.

* Cloud cost management: I've taken off hundreds of thousands of dollars off cloud bills, can do the same for you if you're at a large enough scale. Can also setup or review your infrastructure agents to make sure they're using resources efficiently, as well as negotiate with your cloud reps on your behalf.

* Rapid prototyping / MVP deployment: If you've got an idea and funding want to get to market quickly, I can work with you to refine and build out ideas.

I don't have much of a CV online, but https://sudhir.io has my pre-AI era writing, of which multiple articles have landed on the HN front page; github.com/sudhirj has my code; and I used to be in the top 2% on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/users/73831/sudhir-jonathan?tab=to...) back when it was cool.

My rate is currently USD 10k per week, plus travel and accommodation if you need me to come to your location. I also offer a no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. Do contact me on sudhir.j@gmail.com for longer term engagements and rate plans.

I'm an experienced developer, visionary and researcher.

I've created better "Who to be hired?" reader here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48748491

Reach out to me and I will strengthen your team with my experience and knowledge.

I started working with AI back in 2014 and consider myself one of the early vibe coders. I’m interested in everything related to AI and security, I’ve worked on benchmarks, optimizations, training and inference, tinygrad, H100, B200, DeepSeek etc. I also developed an ultra-fast programming language for executing complex GPU workloads and created a generative OS for it.

Under 25, I created the core of a security scanner and built a hacking team at a UK startup ($7M investment). We removed the GIL from Python to run 30,000 threads and scan 18,000 exchange IPs for malware overnight.

I have many achievements, I created a Top-10 music app on the App Store and an Instagram filter editor for a social network that had 28,000 users at launch.

I worked on a top-30 AI cryptocurrency, built a next-gen version of BitChat https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48748439 and developed a file manager for offline backup drives: https://github.com/web3cryptowallet/drive-py

15 years shipping production systems across startups and enterprises, including 2.5 years onsite at US enterprises ADP and Time Warner Cable. I build agentic AI systems that run in production daily and full-stack platforms that serve thousands of users at scale.

What I've shipped:

1. Multi-agent feature development system on LangGraph, runs daily in production. Supervised agent team, Postgres checkpointing, pgvector RAG, custom MCP servers, LangSmith eval harness, human approval gates.

2. https://turtlemint.com, insurance platform scaled to 10,000+ monthly users

3. https://ontosight.ai, life sciences AI platform, document analysis and verification workflows

4. Enterprise network management platform serving real-time dashboards across 10,000+ device networks

5. AI-powered development tools used daily by distributed engineering teams

I own architecture decisions, lead and mentor engineering teams, and stay hands-on. Comfortable operating at startup speed and enterprise complexity.

Open to contract work, fractional technical lead engagements, or the right full-time remote opportunity.
