Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2026)

Deep Core Technology | Founding Engineer | REMOTE (CANADA) | Full Time | Salary: $105,000 - $125,000 CAD + 1% equity

Company: We’re building a geologic modelling software, based on reasoning, to help mining and mineral exploration companies work faster. Our goal is to create a way to enable open-ended, interpretive geologic problem solving to be done programmatically, changing the way to explore for hard rock and critical minerals. Currently in active fundraising.

Role: You are the founding engineer on the team, joining co-founder (Neil, CEO) and myself (Jeff, CTO) as first employee. You’ll have a deep influence over systems and architecture. You will have ownership through the entire stack from the database, through geostatistical backend services, through 3D rendering on the client side.

Work rooted in agentic systems, so an understanding of the internals of things like Claude Code, and a broader understanding of orchestrating agents to complete complex discrete tasks is important.

You:

- Fluent in Typescript, Python, and framework/tooling agnostic (Currently using things like NextJS, Supabase, Cesium)

- Eager to learn about mining domain knowledge around the software.

- Ownership of the codebase, and the systems that support the software (project management, CI/CD, monitoring, etc.)

- Open to doing a yearly month abroad with Neil and I. Last year, it was Oaxaca, Mexico.

Apply: Shoot me an email at jeff@deepcoretech.com with a resume, and a short blurb about yourself. If you include a 1 minute video/Loom, I'd love to see it. Must be eligible to work in Canada without a VISA requirement. We are located in Squamish, BC.

Orenva | Senior Contract Engineer | Remote | Contract

Orenva is building governance infrastructure for founder-led businesses using AI — a multi-agent web system that keeps AI and human teams aligned with founder as work scales. Product strategy is authored in depth: agent specs, validation rules, intake design, output schemas, governance checks, and platform contracts. Your job is to wire authored input into a working system, not invent the product.

Likely Python or TypeScript; I'm open to your recommendation based on the spec. Multi-agent runtime, schema-first design, full-stack web, versioned outputs. Fixed-bid preferred; hourly with cap accepted. Subcontracting mid-grade under your senior oversight welcome.

Start is contingent on funding close. Estimated build: 3–6 months. Strong fit will become an ongoing technical lead / fractional CTO relationship.

Email dani@pm.me to request the packet.

Thank you to everyone who submitted!

Project Debug | General Engineer | Singapore (HYBRID) | Full-time | debug.com

Project Debug raises, sorts by sex, and releases millions of (non-biting) male mosquitoes in Singapore to reduce the local mosquito population and prevent the spread of dengue and other mosquito-borne illnesses. Our trial in Fresno, CA showed a 95% reduction in female mosquitoes during the seasonal peak.

Our engineering team is pretty small and we need a solid generalist engineer who is interested in becoming a domain expert in our factory, where we do automated rearing and sex sorting. If you run a homelab, have tinkered with Arduino, and can prompt/write some Python, we can teach you everything you need to know about our stack (Go, Python, React, Kubernetes, Tensorflow).

Reach out to katejm@debugproject.com and please mention HN in your email.
