Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2026)

SEEKING GROWTH PARTNER | Growth | ActorDo Not a job, but can be one. Exploring alignment.

I’m building ActorDo, an AI work assistant that actually helps people get work done. Email, calendar, tasks, context. Product is live. Users are using it.

Now I’m looking for a growth partner, not a tactic executor. With experience on US market.

This is about: - positioning and narrative - real distribution wedges - fast experiments and feedback loops

Close to product. Close to users. No fluff.

Looking for a self-driven growth marketer who likes early-stage chaos, thinks in systems, and wants real ownership.

If this clicks, let’s talk. Must provide references.

Elsewhere | TypeScript Game Developer | San Francisco

Ever wanted to build indie video games at a startup? Let's talk. Elsewhere is a San Francisco-based company building a new kind of multiplayer social video game, inspired by indie roguelike deckbuilding games like Slay the Spire and CCGs like Magic: The Gathering. We're using generative AI in a creatively interesting way to build the first AI game that doesn't suck. We're backed by top Silicon Valley investors, and graduated from the first cohort of a16z's SPEEDRUN program, which is kind of like YC for games.

Ideally, you:

* Have worked as a software engineer before, ideally on a small team. * Have built and shipped games before, either professionally or on your own time. * Have experience with full-stack web development, using TypeScript, React, etc. * Love games yourself, and have always wanted to work in the games industry.

Parabola Labs (NYC / SF) | Enterprise Account Exec | Full-time | On-site Hybrid

We’re hiring an Enterprise AE to scale Parabola, a product used by finance and ops teams to automate messy, high-stakes workflows without needing engineers.

Parabola sits at the intersection of AI, automation, and real operational pain: unstructured data (PDFs, emails), brittle processes, constantly changing rules, and teams that can’t wait months for IT. Customers get to see live workflows in action immediately.

This is not a traditional enterprise sale... Deals are driven by automations, as they are built live in-app. Customers engage multiple times per week and see value instantly. Expansion is natural because the product is horizontal, the first team is never the last

We’re looking for someone who loves going deep on product and customer problems. You can work comfortably with operators and execs (CFO/COO) as well as with companies in the retail/ ecom/ CPG + freight/ logistics spaces. You care deeply about solving real problems. We're building the Enterprise motion, not just running a playbook.

Parabola had its biggest year ever in 2025. We’re consistently exceeding targets, and there is serious demand that is pulling us upmarket. You’d be working closely with our CRO, COO, CEO and GTM team to shape how Enterprise sales is done here. If you’re an experienced AE (5+ years in SaaS sales) who wants to sell something genuinely powerful with real customer impact, we’d love to talk.

Cleric | https://cleric.ai | Staff SWE, AI | Staff SWE, Product | Founding Marketer | Staff Designer | SWE, Backend | SF Onsite (Designer Remote)

Engineers can't keep up with their production environments: dozens of services, dashboards everywhere, alerts firing constantly. The information to diagnose most issues already exists, but finding it takes longer than fixing the problem. And the more AI-generated code ships, the more services get deployed by people who won't be around to debug them.

Cleric connects to your existing observability stack, autonomously investigates production incidents, and tells engineers what's wrong. We're well funded with years of runway, a small team of AI and infrastructure veterans in SF, growing quickly. Stack: Python, Go, LLMs, Kubernetes.

Some of the problems we work on:

There's no test suite in production. When the AI says "the root cause is X," how do you verify that? You can't A/B test diagnoses. Ground truth labels don't exist. We build evaluation systems that track resolution outcomes over weeks and correlate fixes with diagnoses to build statistical confidence.

When something breaks, everything looks broken. Database latency spikes, five services throw errors, CPU goes up, logs explode. When an agent sees 47 anomalies at once, it needs to figure out which one is the root cause and which are symptoms, across systems with feedback loops, hidden dependencies, and non-obvious temporal relationships.

A single investigation might need six hours of metrics across 50 services, 10GB of logs, 10,000 distributed traces, the last 30 deployments, and the relevant runbooks. LLMs have finite context windows. What's relevant isn't known until you investigate. Getting retrieval wrong means wrong conclusions or exploding costs.

We're hiring:

- Staff Software Engineer, AI: You build the core agent. Reasoning, evals, self-improving feedback loops. You debug agent behavior by tracing reasoning and tool choices to understand why the agent made a specific decision. You build the systems that make a non-deterministic agent reliable, and push it to handle increasingly complex incidents.

- Staff Software Engineer, Product: You define what an AI SRE should actually be. When AI handles the reasoning, how do engineers stay sharp for cases it can't handle? How do you build trust when someone needs to verify agent conclusions at 2AM? You answer these by embedding with customers during real incidents, running experiments, and making the technical calls to ship what works.

- Software Engineer, Backend: You build and scale the investigation platform alongside our senior engineers. Integrations with Datadog, PagerDuty, and dozens of observability tools. Agent reasoning pipelines. Runtime systems that handle real-time data streaming at scale. You'll ship customer-facing functionality across the stack.

- Founding Marketer: Software engineers are allergic to AI hype. Our users already love the product. The challenge is reaching the next thousand teams without setting off their BS detectors. You build the marketing function from scratch: programs, pipeline, infrastructure. You need a technical foundation and the ability to hold a 30-minute conversation with a platform engineering lead without getting lost.

- Staff Designer (Remote): The interfaces for AI agents don't exist yet. How do you make autonomous reasoning legible without overwhelming? You own design across brand, product, and marketing, defining the visual language for a new category.

Kadoa | Multiple roles | Remote | Full-Time | https://kadoa.com

Web scraping hasn't changed in decades: engineers still write brittle scripts that constantly break. Kadoa automates the entire web data pipeline with AI agents that build, maintain, and validate scraper code themselves.

All 3 founders have spent years in the trenches writing web scraping and ETL software and still do it almost every single day. We’re making sure every team member can do the best work of their career at Kadoa.

We are growing fast, have a drama-free and distraction-light environment, and try to minimize the distance between the code you ship and the customers who use it.

We are looking for people who share our passion for software craftsmanship, web scraping, and AI.

Open roles:

- Senior Frontend Engineer: https://www.kadoa.com/careers/frontend-engineer

- Senior Software Engineer: https://www.kadoa.com/careers/senior-software-engineer

If that sounds like you, please email me at (adrian at kadoa dot com) and mention HN in the subject line.

ArtCraft | Rust, Bevy, AI Image and Video | Atlanta or Remote | Full-time, Part-time, Open source also welcome

We're building an open source AI image and video crafting tool, aiming to take on the likes of Adobe, Figma, Blender, and more.

The tool is similar to AI aggregator tools like FreePik, Higgsfield, etc., but we're making our tools open source and we undercut middle-men aggregators with strong BYOK / "login with" components. Our founding team consists of filmmakers, VFX engineers, and people passionate about the field.

To apply: email [email protected] or join our Discord. Mention HN. Strong bias for candidates that enjoy film and video, so please share your YouTube, Vimeo, or IMDB if you have one.

Careful with this

I applied and got rejected without feedback. They stated that there was a high volume of strong applicants (if there were, why are they posting again?)

Your recruiter is crazy disrespectful btw

[dead]

Hey, I applied last month and haven’t received any response yet…

> $8k contract → 5% equity

Surely this is a typo, and you mean 50% equity?
