Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2026)

Wand | Senior Windows C++ Engineer | REMOTE (US Eastern timezone overlap required) | Full-time

Wand (40M+ gamers) builds the augmentation and intelligence layer for PC gaming — real-time game-state reading powering a unified ecosystem across desktop, web, and native in-game overlays. Contextual help, interactive maps, and video clipping delivered exactly when a player needs it, without alt-tabbing out of the game.

We're hiring a senior IC to own meaningful parts of the native infrastructure underneath all of that. This is platform-team work at the seam between Windows, third-party game engines, and our product. You'll make architecture calls the rest of engineering lives with for years, and you'll measure success by what other teams shipped on top of your foundation — not by what you personally wrote. Recently shipped: a plugin system for safe in-process extensions; current work includes a Lua scripting layer on top of it.

What we're looking for: - 7+ years C++, meaningful time on tools/engines/platform systems where your users were other engineers - Deep Windows native: Win32/64, DLL lifecycles, hooking, IPC, process/thread management, WinDbg/Process Monitor - Strong concurrent programming — you spot races and ordering bugs in review without a checklist - Plugin/extensibility experience: you've designed an interface someone else built on, and lived with the result - Outcome-oriented, low-ego

Bonus: Unreal/Unity internals, full-stack TS/Electron down to C++, scripting/SDK layer (Lua/AngelScript/DSL), OBS or video capture internals, gRPC/Protobuf/FlatBuffers.

Fully remote, competitive comp + equity.

Deep Core Technology | Founding Engineer | REMOTE (MUST LIVE IN CANADA) | Full Time | Salary: $105,000 - $125,000 CAD + equity

Company: We’re building a geologic modelling software, based on reasoning, to help mining and mineral exploration companies work faster. Our goal is to create a way to enable open-ended, interpretive geologic problem solving to be done programmatically, changing the way to explore for hard rock and critical minerals. Currently in active fundraising.

Role: You are the founding engineer on the team, joining co-founder (Neil, CEO) and myself (Jeff, CTO) as first employee. You’ll have a deep influence over systems and architecture. You will have ownership through the entire stack from the database, through geostatistical backend services, through 3D rendering on the client side.

Work rooted in agentic systems, so an understanding of the internals of things like Claude Code, and a broader understanding of orchestrating agents to complete complex discrete tasks is important.

You:

- Fluent in Typescript, Python, and framework/tooling agnostic (Currently using things like NextJS, Supabase, Cesium)

- Eager to learn about mining domain knowledge around the software.

- Ownership of the codebase, and the systems that support the software (project management, CI/CD, monitoring, etc.)

- Strong engineering fundamentals around architecture, systems and security.

- Open to doing a yearly month abroad with Neil and I. Last year, it was Oaxaca, Mexico.

Apply: Shoot me an email at jeff@deepcoretech.com with a resume, and a short blurb about yourself. If you include a 1 minute video/Loom, I'd love to see it. Must be eligible to work in Canada without a VISA requirement. We are located in Squamish, BC.
