Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2026)

At akeno, we help chemical manufactures optimise the production planning in their giant factories. Think asset utilisation, giant dependency graphs, adapting to real-time data, critical processes, a highly complex domain, and scenarios where even squeezing out 1% of extra utilisation can easily save our customers millions.

We're currently looking for 1x Senior/Staff Fullstack Engineer (Typescript, PostgreSQL, React, GraphQL/Hasura, TailwindCSS, Docker), 1x Senior/Staff DevOps Engineer (Kubernetes, Terraform, Observability, multi-environment management, …), and 1x Senior Applied Research Engineer (Python, ML/AI, optimisation) to extend our teams.

You'll need to bring real world experience from designing and running systems that really matter, a true "full stack" mentality (from UX deep down into the DB), team-spirit, and have worked in the EU before. We'll provide: Colleagues who are not only highly competent but you'll actually enjoy working with, 3-2 onsite/home-office model, great office in the heart of beautiful Hamburg, latest Macbook, excellent e2e/integration testing setup, pseudomised customer DB dumps for realistic development data, completely cloud-agnostic, "airplane mode" (you can spin up a full dev environment locally and without internet!), Open Telemetry, and more.

I'm Mark, the technical co-founder and CTO at Goody. We're building a gifting product that every business can use to recognize employees, retain customers, and accelerate sales. Despite being something everyone does, gifting is one of the areas of commerce yet to be disrupted, and we're working on building the best and most delightful product in this space.

Our product is used by Google, Stripe, Anthropic, Meta, NBCUniversal, Notion, and others, and we also offer a developer API for commerce. Tech stack is Ruby + React + TypeScript, though we're flexible on backend language if you know Python or Node.js better. All roles are full-stack.

We're coming off of a big year and planning for scale in 2026. We have a few new roles to accelerate our growth.

• Staff Software Engineer ($200–250K) — for those who ship at a startup pace and have a great eye for detail

• Senior Software Engineer, Customer Engineering ($150–200K) — if you like to hear a customer request in the morning and tell them it’s shipped in the afternoon. US and Canada only for this one

• Senior Software Engineer, Growth ($150–200K) — be the engineer who has the most direct impact on our growth

We're looking for people who have great startup energy, want to win, and bring great vibes to our tight-knit team.

Every time two companies in the physical economy need to exchange data, someone builds a custom integration by hand. Analysts, engineers, QA. All manual. Every time. Google "EDI" if you haven't. It's wild.

We built AI agents that do the whole thing: gather requirements in plain English, write the integration code, test it, deploy it, fix it when it breaks.

We have paying enterprise customers and more demand than we can keep up with.

You'd be the first engineering hire. Agent orchestration, durable execution runtime, self-healing infra, most of the important architectural decisions haven't been made yet.

The founders built a logistics startup from pre-seed to 400+ people. We've been dealing with broken integrations for years.

TypeScript, Effect-TS, Bun, PostgreSQL, K8s, AWS. Paid work day. Under 2 weeks to offer.
