Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2026)

Do you feel scared and alone when opening the AWS console? Do you wish you could just tell Claude to manage your infra, and it would just work? Do you dream of a future where software is abundant and developers and normies alike are free to build their wildest dreams?

We're Railway, and we think infrastructure can be better. We're working at the forefront distributed systems engineering, interface design, and agentic computing to bring about the infrastructure platform we've always wanted. So far we've built out a platform loved by 3M+ users and we're just getting started.

Fair warning! The problems are complex: racking and stacking servers, home-rolled hypervisors, cut-above container orchestration, over/under/whateverlay networks, virtio device drivers, edge proxies, IAM that doesn't suck, kitchen sinks - we need to build it and we're looking for likeminded individuals who think this stuff is fun.

Three open roles (apply below!):

+Senior Infra Engineer: Storage -Apply here: (https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/Railway/25d8444a-47dc-4084-ae56-29a...)

+Product Designer: -Apply here: (https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/Railway/6fb07755-acd8-4400-9de3-fa5...)

+Senior Infra Engineer: Observability -Apply here: (https://railway.com/careers/platform-engineer-instrumentatio...)

Appreciate the honesty on being more frontend than design. That can still be interesting for us, especially if you care about craft, motion, interaction, and building polished experiences.

Send me your LinkedIn, GitHub, and anything you’ve built that you’re proud of. Happy to take a look. Here's my Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/haseebws/

We build the market-leading SaaS platform for the home care industry: scheduling, billing, payroll, CRM, and clinical documentation for agencies across all 50 US states and 6 countries. ~10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day; the agencies using our software help them stay in their homes.

We're are small, fast teams that have gone deep on AI-augmented development. Not as a talking point; as the actual way we work. We prototype aggressively, put working software in front of stakeholders before a traditional process would finish a PRD, and iterate from there. We're looking for engineers who already work this way: driving agents on real codebases, maintaining quality when the machine is doing the typing, and knowing when to throw the output away.

Stack: PHP (backend), React + TypeScript (frontend), MySQL, RESTful APIs, AWS. You'll work across the full stack.

Senior (5+ yrs): Product-minded, systems-thinking engineers. You'd lead 1–2 engineers while still taking substantial features from concept to production solo. You mentor others in code design, systems thinking, and driving AI agents effectively.

Mid-Level (2+ yrs): This is a senior-track role. You'll ship real features with mentorship from senior and staff engineers who are deeply invested in your growth. We want engineers who see where things are heading and want to get ahead of it; going deep on architecture, design, and understanding the problems, not just writing the code.

Both roles: We want concrete evidence you use AI as a real tool, not a novelty. Push the tools until they fail, then tell us about it. We care about quality software that's easy to change, clear writing, and engineers who get curious about the customers, not just the tickets.

Compensation: Salary TBD based on experience. Medical/dental/vision covered in full for the employee. Company-provided equipment.

Apply with a brief resume and a cover letter (written or video — video goes to the front of the line). The cover letter matters; we read it first. Tell us what you've built, how AI has changed the way you work with specific examples, and why this team at this moment.

Candidates only, no recruiters. Feel free to reach out directly via email to wademeredith [at] axis care [dot] com if you have questions. Apply through the website.
