Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2023)

Last month I posted a 'real' hiring ad (with an actual salary). I got such an overwhelming response from Intern level candidates that I though I'd put the word out; I'm looking for contributors for an OSS project I work on. If this is an inappropriate venue for this ad, I'm happy to take this down.

Bonsai is a long-running passion project of mine that's recently reached a level of stability with which I'm comfortable including an additional contributor or two. The project is largely inspired by Handmade Hero, and the rules are the same. With very few exceptions, every line of code included in the project has been written by me. This includes everything from the standard library to the font rasterizer, the collision detection, and even a C metaprogramming language.

As you can imagine, there's a great number of things that could be worked on, and I'm very open to suggestions. That said, a few tasks relatively high on the to-do list are as follows:

* Make some games!

* Implement transparency in the renderer based on this paper : https://www.jcgt.org/published/0002/02/09/paper.pdf

* Implement an MP3 decoder

* Using the metaprogramming language I wrote, implement a GUI tool to introspect the engine data at runtime.

* Port to Apple

A few more .. ;)

I'm looking for anyone who is passionate about (or passionately learning about) low-level programming, graphics, game engines, and/or compilers. If you're just starting out with these topics, I'm happy to be a mentor and help you stumble blindly down the path of becoming an excellent engineer. Working on Bonsai has been an absolutely amazing experience for me; it's literally changed my entire life, and I'd love to share it with other folks. If you're looking for a cool new project to work on, and don't need income from it, let's connect.

I’m hiring for a few positions at the Strategy & Innovation (S&I) department of ABN AMRO. ABN is the third largest bank in the Netherlands. We’re the technology team within S&I and work on things ranging from the introduction of GPT support for bank employees to data analytics for strategy to apps and websites for new products.

What’s special about us:

1. Speed: we typically work on projects that go live between 1 month and 6 months.

3. Mixed teams: our total group is about 60 people, which contains everything from data scientists to software and platform engineers. For proposition development we pair with internal entrepreneurs.

Available roles:

- starting and junior developers (iOS, android, ‘full stack’). Our stack is Vue3 with backends in Java or Python.

- Great data profiles, that want to make impact with data and AI. We currently have people ranging from hard-core deep data scientists to practical integrators that deliver data enabled solutions very quickly.

We’re open to various profiles, as long as you get energy from delivering working software/solutions to clients quickly. If you think you might be a fit, feel free to reach out for a discussion.

Must live in the Netherlands to be employed, but we’re very flexible about remote work. Most people work remote 2-4 days per week.
