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

Location: SF Bay Area Remote: Yes, also open to hybrid or onsite in the Bay Area Willing to relocate: No, but open to Bay Area onsite roles Technologies: Python, SQL, TypeScript/React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, APIs, Anaplan, NetSuite, Workday, Salesforce, Tableau, Power BI, Microsoft Power Apps, Claude Code, Codex, Hermes Agent, Vercel v0 Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/getravi/ Email: getravi at gmail dot com

Finance systems and data platform leader with 18+ years across eBay, Sonder, Adobe, and McAfee. I build planning platforms, internal tools, data products, workflow automation, and decision-support systems for Finance, Operations, and executive teams.

Most recently, I own FP&A planning systems and the Anaplan Center of Excellence at eBay. Previously, I founded the Finance Systems function at Sonder, migrated FP&A from Adaptive Insights to Anaplan, built planning/data pipelines with Snowflake, Python, SQL, dbt, and Airflow, integrated systems like NetSuite, Workday, Salesforce, and Tableau, and supported 150+ users across Finance and Operations. At Adobe, I built enterprise planning systems supporting $10B+ in annual spend.

I’m looking for roles where I can keep moving closer to software engineering while using my finance systems and data background: product engineering, data engineering, internal tools, forward-deployed engineering, technical product, finance/operations platforms, or AI workflow automation.

Best fit: teams building software around complex business workflows, data integrations, planning systems, analytics, automation, and tools for domain experts. I bring strong product judgment, finance/operations domain depth, systems thinking, and hands-on experience building with modern data tools and AI-assisted engineering.

I'd like to land contract work, 10-40+ hours per week. I currently spend about 100 hours a week in my office building tech demos and seeking my first consulting/contract client in my new practice. I've probably done something similar to what you need, if you need backend or data engineer or CI/dev automation projects done. I'm not exactly a generalist but I've worn so many hats. I can start at a low intro rate for 90 days, I picture building long term relationships with trust established via increasingly important and urgent projects.

I can travel on site as needed and work from my office normally. I've lived in the Bay Area for over a decade since college and am familiar with the lay of the land and culture and everything, happy to visit. Thanks.
