Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (August 2026)

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Elixir, Go, TypeScript, Postgres, SQLite, Docker, AWS, sync engine, containers, distributed systems

Resume: https://sholik.dev/resume/

Email: oleksii@sholik.dev

I build data infrastructure: sync engines, durable streams, and backend systems that must stay correct through load, restarts, and failure. I have expert-level, hands-on knowledge of Postgres logical replication and of the BEAM VM's concurrency and memory model. I'm looking for a remote senior software engineer role in distributed systems, replication, storage, AI agent infrastructure, or performance engineering. I'm deepest in Elixir/OTP and Postgres, productive in Go and TypeScript, and more interested in hard systems problems than any particular language.

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: Node.js, Express, Vue.js, React, Nuxt.js, Pinia, Tailwind CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, SQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, AWS, GCP, Docker, Firebase, CI/CD pipelines.

Full-Stack Engineer with over 5 years of experience building scalable, high-availability applications across Fintech, Edtech, Agritech, and Retail POS. I specialize in bridging robust backend architectures with high-performance, accessible user interfaces.

Driven by an owner's mindset, I build with end-user constraints in mind—whether designing secure, high-concurrency RBAC schemas or optimizing frontend bundles for low-bandwidth networks. In today's AI-driven tech landscape, I leverage modern AI tooling and LLM APIs to accelerate development workflows, automate internal operational bottlenecks, and build intelligent, production-ready software features. I excel at standardizing front-to-back API contracts and turning complex domain requirements into clean, modular architectures.

Remote:Yes

Hello, my name is Jesse.

I describe myself as a competent generalist, and a lifelong learner. I'm frequently working on something I've never done before. I've worked at every level of the stack, from cycle-shaving hot loops to the frontend of large web applications. My most recent professional experience has been about a year at a semiconductor startup; I wrote prototypes for an ISA, compiler, a cycle simulator and visual debugger.

In terms of hard technical skills, I can quickly become productive in nearly any language, and at any level of the stack. I'm comfortable working in heavily multithreaded/async soft-realtime environments where performance is a key acceptance criteria. I have a good understanding of modern hardware architectures, including GPUs, from main memory to registers and instruction pipelines. I have working knowledge of interpreters, dynamic language runtimes and garbage collectors. I'm convinced I can learn nearly anything (albeit some things more quickly than others), given an appropriate problem domain to apply it to.

In terms of business value, I can take hand-wavy visions of new products and turn them into working prototype(s), quickly. I'm comfortable refining those raw materials and delivering real value to customers, internal or external. I have a track record of successfully identifying 80/20 solutions and love the feeling of making tools that make peoples lives better.

In my personal life, I enjoy travelling, surfing, climbing, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, pirates, and attending raves. I like the phrase "have strong opinions, weakly held".

If I was born to do one thing in this world, it's program computers.

Jesse
