Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2026)

FusionAuth | Principal Software Engineer, Senior Java Engineer - Cloud, Account Executive, Solutions Engineer | Varies between REMOTE (in USA, also in Europe but only for the account exec/solutions engineer positions) and ONSITE in Denver, CO, USA, details in each job desc | Salary ranges for the Principal Software Engineer it is 225k-270k, but the Euro positions don't have them :(

At FusionAuth, our mission is to make authentication and authorization simple and secure for every developer building web and mobile applications. We want devs to stop worrying about auth and focus on building something awesome.

There are a lot of companies in the auth space, but we feel like we have something special:

* a relatively unique deployment model (self-host on-prem, run in your cloud or let us operate it for you in ours)

* A well designed API first approach; one customer compared our APIs to petrichor

* a mature product (the code base is nine+ years old and we've found and fixed a lot of the sharp edges around core login use cases; but don't worry, there are plenty more features to add)

* a full featured free-as-in-beer version which makes the sales cycle easier; prospects often come in having prototyped an integration

Our core software is commercial. We open source much of our supporting infrastructure. Technologies and standards that you will work with: modern Java, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, MySQL, OAuth, SAML, OIDC.

Spacelift | Remote (Europe) | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer | $80k-$110k+ (can go higher)

We're a VC-funded startup (recently raised $51M Series C) building an infrastructure orchestrator and collaborative management platform for Infrastructure-as-Code – from OpenTofu, Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, Pulumi, Kubernetes, to Ansible.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or SaltStack.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and have a lot of happy and satisfied customers. We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as healthy working hours.

If that sounds like fun to you, please apply at https://careers.spacelift.io/jobs/3006934-software-engineer-...

Trax | Analytics Engineer | REMOTE CST (Philippines, Costa Rica, US) | Full-time Contract

We're hiring an Analytics Engineer to help power our future. This is a really greenfield project where we need to define the data models that fuel all reporting, analytics, and ML/AI going forward. We do 'freight audit' - we save our clients money by making sure all their logistics spend is correct and as agreed.

At Trax, our data infrastructure is in the middle of a real transformation. We're building the data foundation that will power our next wave of AI features, and we need someone who can own that work end-to-end. This isn't a "run queries and make charts" role.

You'll be:

- Designing and maintaining data marts in dbt + Snowflake

- Building customer-facing dashboards that integrate into our platform

- Bridging the gap between engineering, business ops, and client teams

- Running ad-hoc analyses that drive real decisions

- Shaping how our data platform evolves alongside our AI/ML capabilities

What matters most to us:

- Deep data modeling knowledge (domain logic, not just syntax)

- Advanced SQL; dbt and Snowflake experience is a big bonus

- Strong communicator who translates between technical and non-technical worlds

- A learning mindset; genuinely non-negotiable for us

We're a small, close team. You won't disappear into a large org. You'll work directly with leadership, partner with Solutions and Sales, and have a real voice in how we build. If you thrive on ownership, are energized by complexity, and want to see the direct impact of your work, let's talk! My email and linkedIn are in my profile.
