Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2026)

Ecosmic is on a mission to reduce threat exposure in space by building software for Space Situational Awareness. To achieve this, we built a team of flight dynamics engineers and computer scientists to build & package in-house algorithms into easy-to-use, reliable, and secure products. As an example, our platform recently allowed us to identify a series of close approaches in GEO involving Russia's Luch/Olymp-2 and a Western telecommunications satellite, possibly attributed to SIGINT activity.

We're hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer (mid-level candidates are welcome too!) to aid the effort of unlocking on-premises deployments of our algorithms with Kubernetes, and to contribute to the evolution of our platform.

Our stack includes Python for backend services and high-level algorithm tooling, C++ for performance-critical components, AWS for cloud infrastructure, and Terraform for IaC. We currently use managed serverless services, and we’re beginning a gradual migration from C++ to Rust for its reliability guarantees.

You’d join a team of three software engineers who love working in such a fantastic domain. I currently take care of most of the infrastructure work with the team, and we’re looking for someone who can help us tackle this new challenge.

We’re a small UK-based free-to-play gaming company with a distributed EU team, growing fast after recent success and scaling our backend platform. We’re looking for two roles:

- mid-senior to senior engineer with at least 5+ years of experience. - Mid-senior devops engineer, minimum 5+ years of experience.

Backend: Strong in backend development, ideally Java, but open to those willing to learn. DevOps experience is a plus, or a strong desire to learn it.You’ll be expected to do devops as part of this role. Devops: Your main role will be devops on AWS. Willingness to learn Java. Expected to have familiarity with terraform, kubernetes, ec2, ALBs, route53, cloudflare.

Our stack includes Java, Python, TypeScript, Angular, SQL, AWS, Kubernetes, Postgres, Trino, Flux, Flagger, and Terraform.

Our engineers must be able to think product-first, and take a task from idea to production, work across the full cycle. You must write your own code, AI assistance is fine, but you must be able to produce all your work independently. No Cursor. We are looking for candidates that can write SQL when needed, our approach when it comes to the DB is SQL first. We also value clear thinking and communication, you should be comfortable sketching simple architecture or flow diagrams (boxes and lines, nothing formal) to explain your ideas.

To apply, please send an email to jack[at]splash.tech with the subject “Backend Hackernews 2026” or “Devops Hackernews 2026”. Please send any git/bitbucket/source-forge project that represents your coding otherwise I’ll ask you to complete a small test project.

Conductor lets builders run teams of coding agents. We're a small team, we recently announced our $22m Series A, and we're looking for exceptional software engineers and designers to join us.
