I've decided to no longer post here after the incredible amount of spam I started receiving, both in terms of direct email submissions as well as unqualified and outright fraudulent applications to my application tracking system. By fraudulent I mean: fake resumes, names stolen from real developers who work at well-known companies but either don't have a linkedin/portfolio or do have a linkedin/portfolio without a pr…

It works both ways, looking for jobs is full of IA spam too.

I think the best is loot at the companion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48357724

I want to learn more about this.

As a job seeker, I see the chaos from my side of the table, I feel like its well known and discussed.

The other side of the table however, the recruiters and hiring managers, I want to understand this more. I feel like I could assume the struggles your having, but I would love to see more discussion around this.

Fathom – AI Notetaker (fathom.ai) YC W'21, ~100 employees, growing extremely quickly We’re the most installed app on HubSpot marketplace and our recent Fathom 3.0 launch was #1 on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/products/fathom We’re hiring for both our Full Stack Engineer and AI team. Our team values: Care Deeply, Seek Leverage, Share Ownership, Sustain Urgency, and Be Tenacious. The engineering team works…

This is an extremely onerous application process, probably the most so that I've ever seen. While I'm interested in the role, I won't be doing all of that during phase zero before any human has indicated interest in my skills. Just some feedback.

It's kind of weird that I have to install their app on my computer, but recording a short video isn't that big of a deal, IMO.

That said, madiganf: I'd recommend poof-reading that Google Doc in the job posting. There were some malformed sentences. EDIT: Huh, looks like the doc has been edited and the questions themselves have changed a bit. :-)

Branch3D | Senior Developer (Full-stack), 3D Design engineer, Growth lead | Vancouver (REMOTE, North America / South America) | Full-time

Branch is taking on real-time structural design and analysis. Design software for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) has been archaic for too long, and we're building a novel 3d structural modeling and design tool with real-time design feedback and performance as a focus. We're taking ambitious technical swings! Our team is less than 10, we're incubated within a larger structural engineering firm and leveraging real project expertise. We're in pilot programs with key customers right now, and hiring to scale out to a larger audience. Your ideas will help shape the future of how our product evolves, regardless of role.

We're looking for folks with deep technical experience for developer roles (AEC background not required), or deep industry experience for the GTM side of things. In particular, our design engineer role focuses on a mix of 3d design & front-end experience, with a focus on quality.

Postings with more details at https://www.branch3d.com/careers.

If Branch sounds like your jam, apply via email - dcascaval@branch3d.com, HN in the subject line. Include a resume, any open source or portfolio projects if applicable, and a couple sentences of relevant experience.

Hiring outside your network has always been difficult. A rigorous hiring process should be able to withstand the bad actors. Some people have a good eye for candidates, others do not. Impersonation should be the easiest problem to solve, i.e: if someone is claiming to be someone else based on their LinkedIn profile or website, you can ask that they verify it is theirs. If their profile itself is fraudulent, it will be obvious from their lack of connections and registration date. If you cannot confirm the person is genuine, move on to the next candidate. A good hiring process doesn’t pick people based on where they have worked.

Obsidian Security | Staff Software Engineer | REMOTE (US) | Full-time | $176k-$196k + equity + 401k | https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/obsidiansecurity/jobs/51527...

We secure the SaaS apps companies actually run on: M365, Salesforce, and hundreds more. You’d be on the Threat product team working full-stack. That means browser extension code (content/background scripts, manifest v3, message passing), backend services chewing through millions of events, and the data pipelines feeding our detection engine. One day you’re in TypeScript debugging why a content script won’t capture form submissions on some vendor’s weird SPA. The next you’re in Python fixing a Kafka consumer that’s falling behind. Sometimes you’re in Rust optimizing a hot path in the telemetry collector.

Big current focus is shadow AI, i.e. catching when employees paste sensitive data into ChatGPT, Claude, or whatever LLM showed up this week. You’d build the systems that detect it.

Looking for ~8+ yrs experience, real browser knowledge (DOM, event loop, SPA routing, CORS, not just “I used React”), prior browser extension work, strong TypeScript, comfortable in Python, willing to write Rust, plus data-at-scale chops (event streaming, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Kafka). Bonus: AI security (prompt injection, exfiltration), detection engineering/SIEM, or security tooling.

Apply via the link above, or see all our open roles at https://www.obsidiansecurity.com/careers
