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

Location: Istanbul, Türkiye Remote: Yes Type: Full-time

I’m not a traditional developer candidate. I’ve worked with enterprise systems, data, and product operations at DHL Supply Chain and Mercedes-Benz Türk, and I’m now teaching myself Python and backend development.

I don’t have years of production coding experience, but I know how to understand complex systems, communicate with technical teams, and keep learning until I can contribute. I’m looking for a company willing to invest in a disciplined, reliable self-learner who wants to grow with one team for the long term.

*Location:* Edmonton, Canada *Remote:* Yes *Willing to relocate:* Yes, within Canada

*Technologies:* Rust, C++, C#, TypeScript, Python, Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, KDB+, ScyllaDB, Docker, Linux

Most recently, I was a *Senior Software Engineer at Eden*, where I co-authored *FastTelemetry*, an open-source Rust metrics library that replaced the OpenTelemetry SDK on our proxy after it became a bottleneck under millions of ops/sec. Thread-local increment is ~2 ns vs. ~40–400 ns for contended atomics on 16 cores. I also wrote an internal Rust logging library 3× faster than `env_logger`, built the Datadog dashboards the team runs on, and worked on a Redis-backed migration pipeline hitting 100 MB/s.

Before Eden, I spent *18 months at Bitwyre*, rotating through three teams. I built HFT and market-making systems in C++/Python over Kafka, WebSockets, and KDB+ for time-series market data, then designed core primitives for a Layer-1 blockchain that reached *50,000+ TPS* (CUDA-accelerated VM, DAG mempool, Tower BFT consensus). I also co-founded a side project, *ZeroBlock*, where I reduced a critical backend endpoint from 500 ms to 7 ms.

I care most about *systems-level Rust, performance engineering, and infrastructure that has to hold up under real workloads*. I'm equally comfortable in C++, C#, or full-stack TypeScript (React/Next.js/Express) when the problem calls for it. Comfortable working with senior engineers, and I've onboarded and mentored junior developers.
