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

Location: Los Angeles Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Email: seacasamemes@gmail.com Not an engineer. I'm the person you hire when you have a product but no go-to-market, a team but no operational infrastructure, or a market but no playbook. I've done this three times from zero. First was a social platform that hit 5M users in 18 months and got acquired. Second was a consumer app that hit 1M downloads in four days with no paid acquisition. Third is an onchain creator collective I currently run across four protocols with 40+ artists. In between, I spent 8 years doing complex multi-stakeholder deal coordination in commercial real estate, which taught me how to move slow-moving institutions through competing timelines and risk tolerances. And right now I design and operate multi-model AI systems (22 LLMs, 7 providers, three autonomous pipelines) as a hands-on builder, not a theorist. Looking for founding GTM, Head of Ops, or Chief of Staff at early stage. Also open to fractional engagements if you need the playbook built but aren't ready for a full-time hire. Duke B.A.

I’m a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer with about 8 years focused on infrastructure, and a 15 year background in PHP before that. I’ve spent time on both the application and infrastructure sides of production systems, which helps when debugging or designing changes. Over the years I’ve moved deeper into cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and reliability work — mostly trying to eliminate recurring failure points instead of layering on quick fixes. I care a lot about long-term system health and building platforms that stay stable as they grow.

I'm a designer who has spent the last 5+ years designing products across healthcare, fintech, and music.

I’ve worked on products from 0 → 1 and I’m comfortable getting involved wherever needed, from shaping ideas to refining the final UI.

Recently worked on a medical platform for patients and doctors, and improved collaboration tools for teams.

Looking for a role where I can take ownership and build thoughtful, useful products.
