Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2026)

FlixTrain | Onboard Telecom Technology Manager | Berlin, Germany | ONSITE (hybrid) | Full-time

FlixTrain is on a mission to make long-distance rail travel affordable and sustainable across Europe. Every passenger we shift to rail matters, and the onboard connectivity is a key part of what makes people switch.

We're hiring an Onboard Technology Manager to own everything that keeps passengers connected and crew productive on the train: Wi-Fi and network infrastructure, onboard units, and mobile devices for train staff. As satellite constellations and 5G redefine what's possible for high-speed mobile connectivity, you'll help set the direction for the technology being adopted on the largest non-governmental train fleet: writing specs, defining network architectures, monitoring live performance, and driving improvement projects from their conception to the finish line.

The role is highly cross-functional. You'll work with internal partners (operations, customer product, and rail engineering) and external ones, such as tech vendors (Icomera and Advantech) and train manufacturers (Siemens, Talgo).

What we're looking for:

- Bachelor's or Master's in Telecommunications, CS, Electrical Engineering, or similar

- 2+ years hands-on with network architecture, Wi-Fi systems, or Mobile Device Management (ideally in rail or a similarly complex environment)

- Strong troubleshooting skills on complex networked systems

- Comfortable leading cross-functional initiatives and communicating clearly with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders

- Fluent German and English (internally, English is preferred, but German is often mandatory when working with suppliers and regulatory bodies)

Perks: hybrid office/remote work model, up to 60 extra remote days/year from abroad (work from anywhere), 12 free FlixTrain travel vouchers/year + 12 for friends and family, mental health support, L&D budget, mentoring program.

New Lantern | https://newlantern.ai | Software engineers (backend and generalist product engineers, founding recruiter) | Full time in San Francisco, CA (ONSITE)

New Lantern is building an AI radiology resident—think Cursor for radiologists. Our application integrates the three software tools radiologists use all day [1], together with AI, to create a platform that saves radiologists toil and lets them focus on reading images and finding disease.

We are a series A startup with ~20 engineers (~40 total staff), have a number of live customers generating revenue, plenty of runway, and are backed by Benchmark, Anthropic, and other great investors. Our customers have told us they would cry if they couldn't use our product anymore.

We're hiring for backend and product engineering, as well as a founding recruiter to help us scale. You'll work directly with our founder/CEO, our staff radiologists, and our end users to build a product that radiologists rely on daily. You'll have real ownership and autonomy, and ship meaningful work frequently.

I'm Steve, New Lantern's Head of Engineering. If you're interested or want to learn more, shoot me a note at (my HN username)@newlantern.ai. I've already hired one engineer from HN this year and interviewed many more!

Yeah The Who's hiring format isn't a perfect fit for how we have it structured. In general, engineering can hire remote first if there's a good fit, and we have local entities or EOR processes for every EU country (to the best of my understanding)
