Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2026)

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?

Wow, seeking international financial infrastructure development for $80k a year and no benefits is bold!

wow a whopping $8k and 5% for doing all of the technical work!

Where can we sign up?

MixRank (YC S11) | Software Engineers | 100% REMOTE (Global) | Full-Time MixRank processes petabytes of data every month from web crawling. We have hundreds of customers using our data products including Google, Amazon, Facebook, Intel, and Adobe, across industries including Finance, Recruiting, Sales, Marketing, and Security. We’re a fully-remote company with a global footprint in over 20 countries. We're growing, profitable, employee-owned, no dependence on outside funding. Applicants from all geographies and backgrounds are welcome. We are looking for passionate individuals for whom programming is not just a job but it’s something they love to do. We're obsessed with computers, programming, big data, databases, compilers, hardware, math, data science, and the internet. Does this sound like you? Please apply to join our team.

Our code base is very friendly to new contributors. You'll have a fully-functional development environment within hours (fully automated) and be pushing commits on your first day. Deployments to production happen multiple times per day and finish in less than 2 minutes. Effectively all of our codebase is written in Python, Rust, SQL, Javascript/TypeScript, and Nix. The core technologies you'll need familiarity with to be productive are Python, PostgreSQL, Linux, and Git.

We operate at a larger scale than typical startups. We operate two datacenters with high performance servers we've built that are capable of dealing with the volumes of data we process. We've implemented our own distributed file system. We do full-scale web crawls. We download and perform static analysis on the entire universe of Android APKs and iOS IPAs that are published. Unlike a typical startup where you'll spend half of your time in meetings, and the other half fixing bugs from Jira tickets— at MixRank you'll get to challenge yourself with difficult technical problems that will help you to grow as an individual.

We're hiring continuously for the positions below— they aren't singular positions that will close once filled. Our philosophy on hiring is that the candidate is more important than the position. For each new member of the team, we design a custom role and responsibilities that are specialized to their interests. Other companies will come up with a long list of specific requirements for a position with the expectation that you'll exactly replace someone from the team, or that you'll be the perfect tetris piece that satisfies the job requirements decided by a committee. MixRank is more pragmatic: we'll first get excited about having a unique individual on the team, then we'll figure out the best way to accommodate their specific talents.

Sent an email out just a bit ago! Please let me know if it doesn't arrive for whatever reason.

EDIT: Looks like my comment was detached from its thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46857847) without a comment explaining why. It's not breaking any of the stated rules at the top, and it seems like it would be common sense to let someone know they should expect a message (especially considering how temperamental email filtering can be these days). If this _is_ against the rules, I'd appreciate it if future hiring threads stated as such so that people like myself that have been trying to find a job for 7+ months can stop wasting our time here. I understand how it can be challenging to moderate a forum like HN, but the moderation priorities seem pretty disappointing, unfortunately.
