Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2025)

Hey, cool to see you guys here. Couple questions:

1. Is C++ required for all of your roles?

2. Any advice for someone who isn't coming from big tech or a top ranked university CS program to make a strong application?

Thanks

Er... yes it does? If you're not an EU citizen then you need a visa to work in an EU country.

TriumphPay is a subsidiary of Triumph Financial. That list applies to those working for Triumph Financial, not to us. Something must've gotten caught up in the HR system they use to post roles publicly.

We do hire from, and have employees in many of the listed states. We are restricted to U.S. only.
