Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2026)

Prophet Town LLC | Various Software Engineering Roles | US – Remote and Hybrid | English fluency required | Full-time | $140K-$264K annual total comp (multiple)

We are a people-first, boutique tech agency creating on-demand teams and software solutions for long-standing clients. These clients trust us to practice engineering excellence as though we were members of their own staff. Our leadership team is ex-Fortune 100 with software engineering backgrounds: we’re still coding. Notable recent projects include a gigantic ERP migration for Anduril, and working with Surge Labs to help develop some of the frontier LLM models from the big guys themselves (yes, seriously). This is a remote-first agency, but some projects involve onsite work.

I’m the founder and CEO, and I’m trying to do what I call “enlightened business”. I take responsibility for both staff and clients, and I look for people who approach their work with a similar sense of ownership.

For September 2026: our current work would especially benefit from from ai-forward senior engineering expertise that can design RL benchmarks, red-team model outputs, and create rubrics to evaluate and enhance the agentic coding capabilities of various frontier models. We received 216 applications in our August posting, and issued offers to approximately 10 (still following up with a few).

Applicants must meet a high bar - I intend to have a personal relationship with every hire. In return you’ll get:

  * Flexibility and a low-bureaucracy environment

  * Clients that won’t treat the vendor like “the B Team”

  * The chance to act as a code architect, not just implement tickets

  * Exposure to a wide variety of industries and modern     challenges

  * Me as your personal champion and advocate

Feel free to submit, even if you already did in the past.

Current roles available:

Back-end, Front-end, and Full-Stack Software Engineers, Tiers 3 and 4 (Typescript/Javascript, React, NextJS; Ruby on Rails; Python; DevOps, and third-party API integrations)

Tier 3 roles are typically 5-10 years experience with $140-$180K total comp. Tier 4 roles are 11-20 years experience, $210-$264K total comp. Higher tiers exist, and we always welcome exceptional applications.

Search Atlas | Product Engineer (Product Manager role, not a Full-stack role) | REMOTE (anywhere, EST hours) | Full-time contractor | $23-$34 USD/hour | https://careers.searchatlas.com/jobs/599248-product-engineer...

We're ~160 people, fully remote, building an AI marketing platform. Our main product is OTTO, which runs a site's SEO on its own - it reads live search data and pushes the technical and on-page fixes itself, nobody queues them up. Around that we've got ad automation for Google and Meta, GBP management for multi-location brands, content gen, and LLM visibility tracking (whether ChatGPT and co are citing you). Autotrader, Hyundai, P&G, Vendasta are some of our customers.

Work happens in pods, 1 PM and 2-4 engineers. You own your pod's roadmap and ship it with them, no veteran PM signing off on your specs first. That's the part most PM roles won't hand you.

Looking for 3+ years PM in B2B SaaS with an actual technical background - eng or QA before PM, or a PM who's been getting into the codebase themselves. You should be able to read Python and TS, write your own SQL, find your way around an API, and not need an engineer to tell you what a stack trace says. We're Django on the back, React/Next on the front. QA is yours end to end including release sign-off, people tend to underestimate that bit. And you're already using Claude Code or similar daily, not "open to it".

Process is screen with me, a take-home that runs about 75 mins, technical round with one of our senior PMs, then a call with our Director of Product (who you'd report to). I usually come back to people within 2 business days.

Our ATS forces us to list specific countries but we hire from anywhere as long as you can do EST hours, so apply even if yours isn't on there.

Apply at the link and mention HN somewhere, in your pitch or wherever it fits. I'm João Pedro, I read all of them. joao.pedro@searchatlas.com if you need me, though the link's faster.

For the second role, will you consider exceptional candidates that are remote-only (EU/CET)?
