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

Beyond coding, I am focused on creating business value and bridging the gap between engineering and business. I've authored 10 comprehensive technical proposals for state government projects and led an organizational effort that slashed customer time-to-resolution by 75%.

I'm looking for a senior to principal-level role where I can solve complex technical challenges and drive business value.

AI is central to how I work now: I use it like a junior I delegate work to, but I always validate its output. I've also built AI tools and apps myself, so I know where these tools excel and where they quietly add risk.

I believe in using the right tool for each task. Strong infrastructure background (AWS, cloud-native, distributed systems).

I've attempted to bootstrap products myself so I understand what it takes beyond writing code. I take full ownership end to end, I don't wait to be told what needs solving.

Available immediately and used to working on US timezones. Open to senior IC or tech lead roles. US C-Corp for contracting.

--------------

Product-minded full-stack engineer with 15+ years of experience, primarily building SaaS applications and authoring tools.

Currently founding engineer at Moio, a four-person startup developing a collaborative design and prototyping product, where I built the Figma import pipeline and an AI content-generation feature that populates designs with contextual copy, and modernized an Angular application to a zoneless architecture with Signals.

Problem solving for me does not stop at the product or code. I'm always finding ways to improve the development process or help colleagues get unstuck through mentoring and coaching. Picking up a new programming language or framework, or diving into the infrastructure, is simply part of the job.

Fully remote since 2021. Looking for a full-time, long-term remote role at a SaaS company with European timezone overlap, where I can help solve hard problems and leave both the product and the codebase in a better state.

Summary: Senior AI Engineer with 8+ years of experience building and deploying production AI and full-stack applications. Strong focus on Generative AI, LLMs, RAG, AI agents, multimodal AI, and real-time conversational systems.

I have hands-on experience building production RAG pipelines, AI agents, voice AI systems, LLM applications, and scalable backend services using Python and FastAPI. I have also worked extensively with AWS, Azure, and GCP, along with vector databases and modern LLM tooling.

Most recently, I worked on AI-powered clinical applications, including real-time voice assistants, transcription, clinical summarization, RAG systems, and workflow automation.

I'm looking for Senior AI Engineer, Senior Applied AI Engineer, AI Platform Engineer, or Senior AI/ML Engineer opportunities where I can build production-grade AI systems and work on challenging LLM, RAG, and agentic AI problems.
