Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2025)

Zed Industries | North America, South America, Europe REMOTE | https://zed.dev/ Zed is a company for developers, by developers. All 3 of our founders have spent years in the trenches writing software and still do it almost every single day. We know the only way to build the world's best code editor is by equipping every single member of the team to do the best work of their career.

We've raised $42M to support our ultimate vision, a new way to collaborate on software, where conversations about code remain connected to the code itself, instead of being tied to aging snapshots or scattered across different tools. The first step was creating a high-quality editor to serve as the user interface. Now this new investment lets us expand to tackle the next phase of our plan. We're developing a new kind of operation-based version control that incrementally tracks the evolution of your code with edit-level granularity, and we're integrating it into Zed to make collaboration, both with agents and teammates, a first-class part of the coding experience.

Deep States LLC | Photon-pathway-simulation for analog 35mm movie-film emulation | Florida, U.S.A | Part-time | REMOTE or local.

Deep States LLC is building the most realistic analog film-emulation system ever created. We're bringing back the classic 35mm film stocks that defined cinema in the 1980s.

We're modelling photon-pathways on superchip systems; to simulate the sophisticated light-interactions between the layers in real film. We aim to perfectly digitally-replicate the unique photo-chemical properties of celluloid.

We're looking for self-taught C programmers with wild-eyes and a thirst for breaking new ground. Can you perfectly model "Kodak Eastman Color Negative II 100T 5247" film stock on a rack of superchips? Let's find out.

Contact us if you want to be part of the first team to crack-the-code of celluloid. We seek renegade coders who want to make a dent in the universe, and have the intellectual-firepower to deliver the holy-grail: Digitally modeling photon-pathway interactions in REAL analog film strata.
