I want to build things that empower people; creative tools, data visualizations, whatever expands people's capacity to succeed. I'm curious about developer advocacy roles, and positions where my enthusiasm and communication skills close gaps. Beyond all that, I still like making games.

I'm a self taught software engineer, been a bedroom coder writing C++ for about 13 years or so. Spent a lot of that time trying to start companies so it was always my full intellectual output and not simply a hobby. Recent experience in the market has taught me that I'd just rather not run a software business.
Not interested in working at a typical web shop or an AI slop company. Most of my experience is in C++ for a reason. I've written TypeScript/React/Electron stuff but it's just not my preference. I was able to get really snappy performance out of Electron but it gave me a headache fighting the garbage collector the whole time (I won but at what cost?). I love talking asymptotic complexity and working on problems where it actually matters how to traverse a tree.
A couple recent projects of note:
Nucleus2: This is an eventually consistent key value store database, it's capable of asynchronous multi-master replication over the file system (think putting a database in DropBox). It's designed for "bring your own cloud"/local infrastructure. As far as I know the conflict resolution scheme is novel because I haven't found anything like it in my research. I've been meaning to write a white paper on it for a few years now but never got around to it. I can demo it for you if you'd like. I use a Nucleus2 driven project daily, so it's well proven at least for me.
Hui: Currently working on a GUI toolkit, kind of a hybrid of immediate mode and retained, some inspiration from React (but better separation of state I feel), DearIMGUI, etc, but with some major deviations from the norm like using a finite state machine for global event handling/dispatch instead of bubbling (it sounds crazy, but it actually works, I'd love to show it off). I'm writing the renderer in C++ targeting OpenGL. It's early in the project but it's promising to be very, very composable, and easy to use in a way I've never experienced before with a GUI system. I hope to make a demo video this month and if I do it in time I'll reply to this with a link to the video.
Hui is in service primarily to a 3D DCC application I am also working on (back-burner until Hui is ready).
Basically looking for an oldschool software company. Light on AI, light on web tech would be ideal. Yes I realize I just described a game studio, lol.

Available for remote work worldwide, very flexible across time zones. Looking for permanent or contract positions. Hi! I’m Olga, an experienced software engineer looking for frontend or fullstack projects.
I have experience building greenfield projects and complex features that “just work,” as well as diving into complex legacy codebases, fixing “unfixable” bugs, and performing major refactoring.
In addition to React/Next.js and Node/Express.js development, I also have experience with cloud-native workflows (Golang + Kubernetes), OpenAI API integration and agentic workflows, native iOS development, and game development. Thanks to my multi-platform experience, I can help you port large products across different platforms.

I’m a backend-focused engineer with deep experience building highly distributed, high-throughput stateful and stateless systems - millions of requests per second across thousands of machines in multiple datacenters. My strongest skillsets are around reliability, performance, and testing at scale: I’m an expert in CI/CD, software testing, and the guardrails that let teams move fast without breaking production. I'm a world-class level expert in end-to-end testing in massive distributed systems.
Technically, I’ve worked most with Golang and Javascript/Typescript, but also with Python, Java, and Lua professionally, and Lisp/Haskell for fun. I’d prefer to work in Go, but I’m open to any language I’ve touched or learning something new. If a technology has documentation, I’ll pick it up quickly; if not, I’ll dive into the source. I’m primarily a backend engineer, but I’m not a stranger to frontend work.
I spent just shy of 10 years at Uber (2014–2024), where I was a staff engineer working on some of Uber’s largest, most complex stateful services. Before that, I was at a startup from seed through Series B as engineer #1. I’ve operated comfortably in environments from early startup through large-scale enterprise.
What I’m looking for: I want to work at a company that is seriously embracing AI-assisted software engineering. From personal projects and experimentation, I’ve seen how AI tools feel like a team of fast, naive junior engineers. They need strong production engineering practices - reproducible build systems, tests, linting, typed languages, static analysis, structured logging, metrics, integration and end-to-end tests - to keep velocity from becoming fragility. My goal is to bring that discipline to teams so AI-assisted development produces robust, production-ready systems, not just rapid prototypes.
Here's a link to my recent portfolio experiment in building a very simple CRUD application, but with all the features I mentioned in the previous paragraph that enable velocity, linting, etc: https://github.com/andrewdeandrade/cc-explore
For the recruiters, you can take a look at the progress/ directory for AI summaries of 4-days worth of work in this repo.
I'm a long-time HN member with almost 9000 karma/points, but posting on a new account to maintain some degree of anonymity for my primary account.

Hi there! I'm Dylan Fitzgerald, a software engineer with a knack for bridging the gap between technology and team dynamics. With a technical background in Ruby on Rails, Elixir, and DevOps, I excel in elevating the quality of projects while fostering a harmonious team environment. My years of consulting across the industry give me perspective on what works—and doesn't—with teams and process. In particular, I thrive on turning the implicit into deliberate decisions.
I've mostly consulted over the last seven years or so, but am open to going in-house for the right fit. Going deep on Elixir or learning a new culture by getting out of the state for a while would be compelling. (I've lived and worked outside the US for years previously.) - Full-stack development with a focus on Ruby on Rails and Elixir ecosystems.
- Expert implementation of TDD (particularly RSpec) ensuring reliable, maintainable code.
- Process, communication, and goal refinement within your team.
- Making informed decisions for your team and tech stack.
- DevOps practices to streamline your deployment and infrastructure management.
- Well-versed in using agentic AI tooling (my daily driver is Claude Code these days), and happy to explore and demo how this can accelerate you and your team.
My training in Shape Up and cross-industry exposure helps me tailor strategies specific to your team’s dynamics. I thrive in collaborative settings, helping leadership and teams navigate through their challenges to achieve exemplary results.
Past engagements have seen me providing code review services to hundreds of developers (junior to CTO level), and driving process improvements that enhance team cohesion and project delivery.
Let’s explore how we can build great stuff together!

Hi, I'm Mike; I've been a backend polyglot SDE / sometimes SRE / sometimes engineering manager with around twenty five years of experience in total. I'm a pretty flexible guy; whether it's code, systems, or people I try hard to be a useful mammal. Some of the places I've worked that you might recognize: Yahoo, Oracle (at their AWS competitor), the New York Times. I've also worked at a fair number of startups and mid-size companies over the years, and spent time acting as a consultant. tl;dr for why I'm on the market is that upper management at my last employer decided to let international remote employees go (I'm a US citizen in the UK on a spousal visa; I have full right to work for both US and UK employers without undue paperwork/visa hassles on their end).
What I'm looking for: I'm happy to dive in either as a senior individual contributor or as an engineering manager. I have no strong preferences on org size; having worked at both ends of the spectrum they each have their benefits. I'm flexible on industry too (I might have to think hard about defense). I can work US compatible hours as well as UK ones. I am not a zealot about any particular technology stack or engineering process but in an ideal world I think I'd be happiest working in something like Java or Kotlin in a linux environment building things like APIs, data pipelines, etc. or leading a team doing the same. I'm open to consulting but all things considered a full-time role is more what I'm looking for at present.
Thank you for reading, and good luck to all searching for a job or a new hire! :)

Backend engineer with experience building agentic and RAG systems. At my previous job, I architected and wrote the LLM platform code powering a suite of LLM-based workflows used by major law firms.
At my current job, I built an LLM-powered document generation system (generating trusts, wills, etc.) and an agentic system for onboarding new clients. I am most productive in Python, but we have been switching to Kotlin at work and I think it's great. I have also been learning Rust and employing it in a side project (generating static sites based off of Google Maps info, also using LLMs).
I have a JD from a top law school and spent time in biglaw, so am particularly suited for building legal tech or adjacent products.
I have spent my entire career at early-stage startups and have had the experience of building from scratch multiple times. No strong preference in terms of size of company, industry, etc. Mostly looking for people who are easy to work with at a company that is building something reasonably useful.
