Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2026)

MiLaboratories | Bilbao, Spain | ONSITE | VISA SPONSORSHIP | RELOCATION SUPPORT

We are MiLaboratories, the team behind Platforma.bio & MiXCR. We are building the "OS for Biology"—a platform that processes terabytes of genomic data to accelerate antibody discovery and drug development.

We are a deep-tech research lab, not a typical SaaS. We work fully on-site in Bilbao because the complexity of our problems (high-performance computing + biological nuances) requires high-bandwidth, in-person collaboration.

We are hiring for two core roles:

1. Senior Go Engineer: You will build distributed systems for high-load genomic data processing. This is not CRUD. We need someone who understands memory management, concurrency, and algorithmic efficiency at scale.

2. Bioinformatics Developer (Antibody Discovery): You will work on the scientific core, developing blocks for NGS data analysis and antibody structure prediction. You should be fluent in both code and biology.

The Offer:

Comp: Top-tier EU salaries (~€90k - €120k).

Tax Advantage: Bizkaia has independent tax autonomy. You qualify for the "Special Impatriate Regime" (30% salary tax exemption + expense deductions).

The Reality: Your effective tax rate drops to ~15-20%, yielding a significantly higher net income than London or Berlin.

Stock: We grant ESOP and treat equity as a life-changing wealth vehicle, not a "nice to have."

Relocation: Comprehensive "Soft Landing" package (Visa, temporary housing, school search).

Location: Bilbao is a hidden gem—ocean, mountains, and high quality of life with a low cost of living.

Process: No HR screening. You will talk directly to the engineering team.

Email me (I am the CEO): [email protected]. Please mention "HN" in the subject and include your GitHub.

Blueberry Pediatrics | Full-stack Senior or Staff Engineer | REMOTE (US only)

American healthcare is seldom affordable, accessible, or high-quality. We are fixing this for pediatrics. Blueberry is the most affordable option amongst our competitors. We practice the highest quality pediatric telemedicine, as evidenced by our exclusive hiring of board-certified pediatricians and the usage of at-home medical kits. And, we’re accessible 24 hours a day.

Our success is shown in the lives we save, the costs we save our insurers, and our exploding B2B and D2C business.

As you can imagine, pulling off affordable high-quality healthcare is a challenge. It requires a lot of engineering ingenuity, a C-suite aligned with positive patient outcomes above short-term profits, and a great product team.

We use Django, Hotwire Turbo (an HTMX-like framework), Pytorch, Sklearn, and Flutter. Experience in these technologies helps, but what’s more important is general full-stack knowledge, curiosity, and a strong work ethic.

Prodia | Fastest Inference API | London / REMOTE (US or Europe) | Software Engineer

Engineers at Prodia build the systems that make image + video generation fast, reliable, and easy for developers to use.

This is a highly practical role: shipping models, features, and improvements that show up directly in latency, quality, and uptime.

Cleric | Staff SWE, AI | Staff SWE, Product | Head of Marketing | SF Onsite | $160K-$240K + Equity

Engineers can't keep up with their production environments: dozens of services, dashboards everywhere, alerts firing. The information to diagnose most issues exists, but finding it takes longer than fixing the problem. AI generated code is making this worse.

Cleric is an AI SRE that autonomously investigates production issues and surfaces findings to engineers. It connects to your existing tools, reasons through the evidence, and tells you what's wrong. We believe engineers should ultimately be accountable in production, and our goal is to help them go much faster.

The hard part is making agents reliable when there's no single right answer. We've built evals, memory systems, and feedback loops that improve with every incident. Gartner just named us a Cool Vendor, we are well funded with years of runway, and most importantly the engineers that use our product find it very sticky.

We're hiring the following roles:

- Staff SWE, AI: Build the reasoning engine. Design evals, debug agent behavior (not just code), expand what it can handle. You've built agents and operated distributed systems at scale.

- Staff SWE, Product: Define what AI SRE should be. Spend time with engineers during incidents, find gaps, decide what to build. You've owned products and know production pain.

- Head of Marketing: Engineers love the product but we need to reach more of them. Software engineers are allergic to AI hype, and you'll need to cut through it. Technical background required.

Gobii AI | Senior Software Engineer | REMOTE (US) | gobii.ai

Gobii is the easiest way to deploy browser-use agents in the cloud or on-premises. We're building an open-core AI workforce platform—browser-native agents and automation tools. We have paying customers.

The entire team contributes to browser-use. We also have contributors to Apache NiFi, LiteLLM, and RA.Aid (open-source coding agent I created). Open source is core to how we build and how we think. We're backed by Open Core Ventures.

HQ is San Francisco, but much of the team is in the DC area. East Coast timezone preferred, DC area even better—but we're fully remote.

What we're building: The orchestration layer for browser-use and AI agents. Systems that navigate, reason, and execute on the real web.

Who we're looking for: You've built agentic systems that shipped to production. You have opinions about tool use, context management, and why most "agents" are just glorified prompt chains. You strongly prefer working in the open—a significant part of this role is contributing to OSS repos. We strongly prefer candidates with existing open source contributions.

Why now: We have strong traction and are expanding the team. You'd be early—with real influence over product, architecture, and how we work. High autonomy, high trust, small team of people who know what they're doing.

Comp: Cash + healthcare + modest 401k match + options. In line with SF-based VC-backed startups at pre-seed stage.

Stack: TypeScript, Python, browser automation, LLM orchestration.

Marketing Lead (Developers) - Remote friendly | Tech Lead (CI & Test Data Platform) - San Francisco| Senior Platform Engineer - San Francisco | DevRel Engineer - San Francisco|

Trunk is an a16z funded (25M) Series A dev tools startup, redefining software development at scale. At Trunk, our mission is to help teams create high-quality software quickly. We've helped engineerings teams at: Google X, Zillow, and Brex to understand why their builds fail, which tests are flaky, and how to ship code faster without sacrificing reliability. AI has made writing code 10x faster, but shipping is still painfully slow. The bottleneck has shifted downstream - to merge conflicts, flaky tests, inconsistent code quality, and dozens of other frictions that drain productivity and morale. Engineering teams that can stay focused on designing, implementing, and delivering software will build magical, high-quality projects - and they'll be happier doing it. We're building a CI Reliability Platform that empowers teams to land code faster and develop happier!

Our products:

  * Merge Queue: Ensure your PRs keep the builds you care about green at any scale.

  *Flaky Tests: Detect and eliminate Flaky Tests.
