Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2026)

I'm not Brian. I also doubt Jose or Gleb were Brian. You're talking to another person now. I am the third person who replied to you in this thread. My friend, should you be hiring people if you get lost in a chat thread?

Newton's Tree | Forward Deployed Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer | London, UK | HYBRID | Full-Time | https://www.newtonstree.ai/

Newton's Tree is an early-stage health-tech startup enabling healthcare providers to select, test, deploy, and monitor third-party AI applications as part of routine care pathways. Our enterprise AI platform allows hospitals to safely and effectively adopt AI technologies at scale.

We are looking for adventurous builders to join us in two key roles to help bridge our platform and the hospital frontline:

Forward Deployed Engineer (£70k-£90k): You will be the critical link between our internal engineering team and hospital IT teams. While our SRE team focuses on core platform stability, you will own the site-specific implementations—navigating complex local networks, architecting integration paths, and ensuring our AI platform works across diverse environments. Stack: Linux, Kubernetes, JSON/YAML, Python, SQL, and healthcare interoperability standards (HL7v2, FHIR, DICOM). https://www.newtonstree.ai/job/forward-deploy-engineer

Site Reliability Engineer (£70k-£90k): You will ensure the reliability, scalability, and performance of our AI platform both in hospital sites (on-prem) and on the cloud. You'll work closely with customers to install hardware for Kubernetes clusters and collaborate with dev teams to ensure swift, reliable feature deployments. Stack: Linux, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, GitOps (FluxCD), Argo Workflows, Talos Linux, Cilium CNI, Teleport, and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog). https://www.newtonstree.ai/job/site-reliability-engineer

Logistics: Both roles are Hybrid within the UK (with occasional in-person working in London and travel to hospital sites as needed). Please note that applicants must have the right to work in the UK, as we are unable to offer visa sponsorship.

To apply: Send your CV and a short note telling us why you'd be excited to work with Newton's Tree to info@newtonstree.com, or read more at the links above.

I applied to this same position around 3 months ago, would my application be considered if I apply again? I am genuinely interested to the company mission.
