Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2026)

Octozi | Founding Engineer | NYC (Hybrid) | Full-time | https://www.octozi.com/

Octozi is a revenue-generating seed-stage company building AI agents for clinical development workflows. Bringing a drug to market can take a decade and cost up to $2B, keeping treatments expensive and delaying life-saving therapies for the patients who need them. We're cutting the cost and time of these workflows while improving the science and analysis of clinical data.

We already have commercial contracts with multiple pharma companies and are scaling the team to meet demand. The interesting problems span agent orchestration over messy clinical datasets, human-in-the-loop review at scale, and turning unstructured medical reasoning into auditable, regulator-ready output.

Looking for a full-stack engineer to join as a founding hire with startup experience strongly preferred. Stack: Python, TypeScript, AWS, PyTorch.

Reach out to careers [at] octozi.com and mention HN.

Project Debug | General Engineer | Singapore (HYBRID) | Full-time | debug.com

Project Debug raises, sorts by sex, and releases millions of (non-biting) male mosquitoes in Singapore to reduce the local mosquito population and prevent the spread of dengue and other mosquito-borne illnesses. Our trial in Fresno, CA showed a 95% reduction in female mosquitoes during the seasonal peak.

Our engineering team is pretty small and we need a solid generalist engineer who is interested in becoming a domain expert in our factory, where we do automated rearing and sex sorting. If you run a homelab, have tinkered with Arduino, and can prompt/write some Python, we can teach you everything you need to know about our stack (Go, Python, React, Kubernetes, Tensorflow).

Reach out to katejm@debugproject.com and please mention HN in your email.

MONUMENTAL | https://www.monumental.co/ | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Full Time | Onsite

We make robots that autonomously construct buildings. We are currently developing and manufacturing our autonomous bricklaying system in the beautiful centre of Amsterdam. And our robots are already earning real revenue operating on construction sites all over the Netherlands.

We're looking for experienced software engineers for many roles. You can help us solve problems like:

- Data sync and analytics queries across a fleet of robots (that can be offline for hours at a time)

- Modelling buildings in code and finding the right UI for operators to edit them

- Designing systems for robots to drive safely and fully autonomously around a building site

Check out the progress we've already made on Atrium, our operating system for robotics: https://www.monumental.co/atrium

We're rapidly scaling up operations and we need experienced engineers who can build the systems that manage all of that complexity. If you think that 'full-stack' could reasonably mean debugging firmware, mixing buckets of mortar _and_ writing React components, we are looking for you. Robotics experience not required!

FusionAuth | Senior Java Engineer, Account Executive, Solutions Engineer | Varies between REMOTE (in USA, also in Europe but only for the account exec/solutions engineer positions) and ONSITE in Denver, CO, USA, details in each job desc | Salary ranges for the Senior Java Engineer it is 140k-180k, but the Euro positions don't have them :(

At FusionAuth, our mission is to make authentication and authorization simple and secure for every developer building web and mobile applications. We want devs to stop worrying about auth and focus on building something awesome.

There are a lot of companies in the auth space, but we feel like we have something special:

* a relatively unique deployment model (self-host on-prem, run in your cloud or let us operate it for you in ours)

* A well designed API first approach; one customer compared our APIs to petrichor

* a mature product (the code base is nine+ years old and we've found and fixed a lot of the sharp edges around core login use cases; but don't worry, there are plenty more features to add)

* our CTO is the founder and still writes code

* a full featured free-as-in-beer version which makes the sales cycle easier; prospects often come in having prototyped an integration

Our core software is commercial. We open source much of our supporting infrastructure. Technologies and standards that you will work with: modern Java, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, MySQL, OAuth, SAML, OIDC.
