Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2025)

Tired of trying to beat kube into shape? Does writing YAML to ship code fill you with utter dread? Dream of a future where deploying software is simple, and you don't need an army of infrastructure engineers to build that perfect janky bash script™ to make life easy?

We're Railway, and we think infrastructure can be better. So far we've built out a platform loved by hundreds of thousands of users who simply tell us "Give me Postgres", "Deploy this repo", and we make it happen

Fair warning! The problems are complex: home-rolled hypervisors, cut-above container orchestration, over/under/whateverlay networks, virtio device drivers, edge proxies, IAM that doesn't suck, kitchen sinks - we need to build it and we're looking for likeminded individuals who think this stuff is fun.

Three open roles (apply below!):

See you soon, and happy shipping.

At Pelairo we're building the most intuitive and flexible Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) on the market. "Manage the lab, not the LIMS!"

We're looking for a hands-on Principal Engineer to lead the design and delivery of our backend—built on TypeScript + NestJS—and help our small team iterate quickly with confidence. You'll turn ambiguity into shippable slices, help set technical direction, and raise the bar on reliability, security, and speed.

What you'll do:

    - Own the backend: spend meaningful time writing and reviewing production code.

    - Architecture stewardship: keep the system coherent as we scale questionnaire-driven workflows and FHIR pipelines.

    - Reliability & quality: Establish testing strategy (unit/integration/contract/E2E), migrations, rollouts (feature flags).

    - Observability: Instrument tracing/metrics/logging, build dashboards/alerts; drive incident reviews.
    
    - Raise the engineering bar: define and enforce code review policy, branching model, testing strategy, and CI/CD gates.
    
    - Partner with Product & domain experts: translate healthcare workflows into configurable front-end modules; ensure back-end transforms to valid FHIR in Medplum.

    - 8+ years building production systems, including principal/staff scope in a startup or similar pace.

    - Deep TypeScript + Node.js and expert-level NestJS in production.

    - Track record leading cross-team projects and influencing architecture without heavy process.

    - Product sense and crisp communication; comfortable owning ambiguous problems and shipping quickly with guardrails.

Stack: TypeScript (Next.js and NestJS), Medplum, AWS (Cognito, Fargate)

Visa/relocation: No

How to apply: Email hiring [@] pelairo.com and mention "HN Who's Hiring November 2025". (We know the website needs some work, but the product is our priority right now.)
