Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2026)

SEEKING PARTNER | Bay Area | Applied Research Lab

Not a job. I’m exploring alignment with a potential partner.

I’m a systems builder (CS/infra founder; shut down my last startup) who spent the past two years going deep on foundational math that most engineers (and I guess many mathematicians) tend to ignore, largely at an nLab level, because standard abstractions stop composing.

I’m working toward a small, private apply-focus lab to bridge native CS intuition (computation, scale, systems) with structural, information-theoretic mathematics. The focus is composability, learning, universality, and complexity, with the intent to build, not publish.

The approach is unconventional, but intentional: staying close to real systems while reworking foundations when existing methods stop composing.

Looking for a self-funded generalist comfortable crossing CS, math, and theory that's interested in structure, information, ethics, and long-horizon work.

By turning legal code into AI code, Norm enables enterprises to move faster and more comprehensively in their legal and compliance processes with reliability and trust. Norm Ai, the leading Legal & Compliance AI company, has a client base with a combined $30 trillion in assets under management.

Norm’s platform combines frontier AI, proprietary legal reasoning systems, and embedded legal and regulatory expertise.

We have recently raised more than $140 million, backed by Blackstone, Bain Capital, Vanguard, Citi, New York Life, TIAA, Coatue, Craft Ventures, Henry R. Kravis (KKR co-founder), and Marc Benioff (Salesforce CEO).

Norm Ai pioneered Legal Engineering, the process that empowers lawyers to build and supervise domain-specific AI agents with Norm’s proprietary suite of no-code software tools. We hired dozens of lawyers from premier U.S. law firms and trained them as Legal Engineers, who specialize in Large Language Model powered legal workflows.

Norm Ai technology is deployed inside many of the largest and most consequential institutions in the world. The company is growing quickly and hiring in NYC across all teams, including:

- Full Stack Engineer, Senior + Staff ($190k-270k)

- Engineering Manager ($235k-270k)

- Applied AI Engineer ($220k-285k)

- Forward Deployed Engineer ($145k-250k)

We're also hiring for many non-technical roles. The best way to apply is online on our website (we review every application!). Full list here: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/norm-ai?utm_source=7ow8wN5o3g.

Charge Robotics | Multiple Roles | Full-time | Onsite | SF Bay Area

Hi HN! We’re a YC-backed, Series-A startup building robots that build large-scale solar farms.

Kinelo | kinelo.com | Full-Stack Engineer (AI + Backend) | San Francisco | Onsite

Kinelo manages the new type of hybrid team that will emerge in the future: humans+AI working shoulder-to-“shoulder”.

Our first product helps human software engineering teams deliver more efficiently and more reliably by assisting in coordination and engineering management. But it’s built on a foundational layer that ingests data, knowledge, and process across communications and systems, exposing that to humans and AI alike.

Eventually, Kinelo will become a proper human+AI orchestration layer, managing entire companies, and our goal is to have Kinelo run Kinelo (we already dogfood it today).

We’re looking for high ownership individuals to join our small team and shape its direction. We also just opened a new SF office and new hires will have the ability to help shape company culture, engineering practices, architecture, and roadmap.

We’re well-funded (just raised another round), founded by a serial founder, anti-bureaucratic, and highly technical.

We’re looking for:

- Those who want to go 0 to 1 with high ownership: moving features and products from idea on a napkin, to prototype, to engineering UI, to shipped and polished product

- ~8 years professional experience, including the pre-LLM days with strong CS fundamentals

- A balance of wisdom from experience and optimism about the future

- Strong TypeScript and Postgres (or other RDBMS) experience at scale and with high reliability (SaaS apps, APIs, etc)

- Experience with a variety of technologies, including containerization, distributed systems, and at least one strongly typed programming language (Go, C++, Java, etc)

- Ideally experience with ML and AI systems (though expertise in ML, data science, etc is not needed for this role)

We can’t sponsor visas but relocation assistance to SF is possible.

Unto Labs | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE (Hybrid OK), REMOTE (US) | Full-Time Unto Labs is developing the Thru Layer-1 blockchain (https://thru.org) We recently announced $14.4 million in funding to make blockchains & digital assets useful for the world. Founded by Jump Crypto alumni and core contributors to the Solana protocol and the Firedancer client (https://github.com/firedancer-io/firedancer), we’re tackling fundamental scalability, performance, and usability challenges in distributed ledgers.

Our runtime conforms to the RISC-V specification—moving away from domain-specific VMs, DSLs, and bespoke compiler toolchains that limit developer and institutional adoption. You can write smart contracts and programs in any LLVM compatible programming language and reason about a standard ISA in RISC-V. Components are developed in C for maximal control over performance and resource usage.

We believe there is a unique window of opportunity to developer fairer, more accessible, and more global financial products on resilient public blockchains.

You can check out our docs and open-source developer tooling at docs.thru.org and https://github.com/Unto-Labs/thru/
