Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2026)

Last week, the FAA awarded us a 12-year, $875M contract to build FMDS and SMART - the flow-management and airspace optimization systems that will become the technological backbone of the FAA's Air Traffic Control. What we ship in the next two years will define how this country moves through the sky for the next fifty.

At the core is one of the largest real-time optimization problems in the world: how do you safely sequence ~40,000 flights/day while routing around weather, military airspace, equipment outages, and constant real-world churn? The system has to be right every time, and reliable at scale.

We're hiring across Backend, Infrastructure, and Frontend (ICs and Tech Leads).

One of our roles (with a small puzzle at the bottom that routes to my email): https://www.airspace-intelligence.com/careers/role?=1336c828... — include "HackerNews" in the subject so I can prioritize.

If you want a problem that is genuinely hard, consequential, and urgent — this is the moment to reach out.

Beacon AI builds intelligent systems that make aviation safer and more autonomous. We’ve completed multiple DoD programs and are expanding our team with exceptional technical leaders to push the boundaries of human-machine collaboration in the cockpit. At Beacon, you will lead by example, mentoring and growing a small team of talented engineers (typically 1–2 to start) while staying hands-on in design and execution. You’ll help shape critical systems that advance aviation safety and autonomy, working alongside a team that values effort, creativity, and accountability.

We’re hiring Lead Engineers with 5-9 YOE who love solving complex problems. At Beacon, you’ll own your work end-to-end, from prototype to deployment, and literally see your code take flight in real world aviation environments! Roles:

++ iOS Engineer [Tech Stack: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Mapbox]

++ Senior Security Engineer [SIEM, IDS/IPS, vulnerability scanning, encryption]

++ Infra/Backend Engineer [Tech Stack: AWS]

++ WebApp/FrontEnd Engineer [Tech Stack: Python, Typescript, React]

++ Lead Autonomy/Robotics Engineer [Tech Stack: C++, Python, iOT]

Rho is the modern banking platform built for startups: open accounts, issue cards, manage expenses, pay bills, and close the books in one connected platform with real human support.

We're hiring engineers who want to own problems rather than be handed a slice of one. You'll scope work, write the code, ship it, and sit in on customer calls to understand what actually needs to get better. If a problem touches the frontend today and the backend tomorrow, you go where it goes.

We're looking for 5+ years of engineering experience in a fast-moving environment, comfort working across the stack, and real daily AI fluency. You'd rather get something in front of a user than spend another week making it perfect in a doc.

(Bonus: the office is dog-friendly.)

Please apply through this HN-specific link: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/rho/6a9e17f7-7239-44f8-afc0-3988a23...

Kadoa is the web data layer for finance. We use coding agents to build, monitor, and repair deterministic data pipelines for investment firms, so they can make faster and better decisions.

All founders have spent years in the trenches writing web scraping and ETL code and still do it almost every single day. We are growing fast, have a drama-free and distraction-light environment, and try to minimize the distance between the code & data you ship and the customers who use it.

We are looking for people who share our passion for software craftsmanship, data, and AI. We're a lean remote team and are looking for low-ego generalists with high agency that can help us build a platform that combines the most intuitive UX with world-class accuracy and performance.

Open roles:

- Web Scraping Engineer: https://www.kadoa.com/careers/web-scraping-engineer

- Senior Software Engineer: https://www.kadoa.com/careers/senior-software-engineer

If that sounds like you, please email me at (adrian at kadoa dot com) and mention HN in the subject line. Please include any relevant Github projects.

Delta AI is building an AI-powered, scenario-based training platform where trainees practice high-stakes conversations like sales calls, negotiations, leadership moments, and cross-cultural exchanges against conversational AI roleplayers capable of realistic speech and real-time interaction. We're dual-use, serving both U.S. government and private-sector customers. As a founding engineer, you'll touch the whole stack: front-end UIs, APIs, database schemas, system architecture, working in daily with our CTO to shape product and technical direction with the opportunity to grow into a leadership role as we scale.

We're looking for someone who's shipped full-stack apps independently or on a team, is proficient in TypeScript, React, Node.js, and SQL, and thinks naturally in terms of API design and system architecture. You should be comfortable with Git, monorepos, and CI/CD (GitHub Actions). Bonus if you're familiar with T3 Stack, OpenTelemetry, and E2E testing. We ship daily and lean hard on coding agents like Claude Code to move fast, so experience developing alongside them is a big plus.

We are in the process of raising our seed round and looking to hire within the next month. We are looking for someone remotely in the Bay Area, but are open to those who live outside of the region. We do not sponsor visas now or in the future.
