Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (January 2026)

Location: Rochester, NY Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Actively using Python, Scala, and JS. Experience with Rust, PHP, Java, Ruby, and others. Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelmior/ Email: michael@mior.ca I'm a computer science professor with a PhD looking to make a move back to industry. I've been enjoying the teaching and research I'm doing, but I'm interested in getting back to making products people actually use. I have significant database and systems experience including as one of the PMC members of Apache Calcite, an open source relational data management platform used by Uber, Netflix, and others. I have 10+ years experience as a software engineer/researcher (including as a grad student) and my lab, the Data Unity Lab at the Rochester Institute of Technology works on some cool stuff related to non-relational data management. I still find the time to write code both with my students and my own. Delivering high-quality code along with any work I publish is very important to me. I'm interested in either senior software/data engineering or data science roles. The technology used is less important to me than an interesting product and a great team. I have a lot of experience picking up new tech quickly and I'm looking forward to using that in new ways.

Location: Seattle, WA Remote: open to local in-person/hybrid or remote Willing to relocate: not out of state Technologies: Instruments - AKTA, SPR, BLI, HPLC, SEC-MALS, fluorimetry, qPCR, ELISA, MSD, calorimetry, ultracentrifugation Software - Python, R, Bioconductor, Linux, Benchling, PyMol, Prism, SQL, C, JMP, ImageJ, ollama, OpenSCAD Skills - biochemistry, biophysics, protein purification & characterization, assay & analytical development, bioinformatics, design & 3D printing, basic electronics & RF (e.g. ham radio) Résumé/CV: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cBjdxf9qJqJQ1JEwrMm5ET8JEAY... Email: jldantzler+hn {at} gmail [dot] com 20+ years experience in biotech drug development from discovery research to analytical development for small molecule, biologics (esp. antibodies & related modalities) and cell & gene therapies. Excellent communication skills to translate technical topics to a diverse audience. Happiest being challenged to learn new things, solve hard problems and work across disciplines. For example the most fun I had at ShapeTx was developing a Python class to analyze and visualize raw charge determination mass spec data on intact AAV vectors because no such software was available at the time. Prefer startups and will cheerfully do whatever needs to get done without drama. Seeking intellectual stimulation and the opportunity to work on projects with positive impact more than a fancy title or high salary. I would also be interested in entry level data scientist or analyst roles (or anything else that engages my strategic thinking / analytical brain.)

Location: TBD (Italy for now) Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: Yes Technologies: Python, Django, ML/DL stacks, HPC, Docker, Kubernetes, Slurm, and whatever I needed to build data&resource-intensive systems Résumé/CV: https://sarusso.github.io/CV-Stefano-Alberto-Russo.pdf Email: stefano dot russo at google mail Hi HN, I’m looking for my next challenge. I’m a hybrid profile somewhere between a software engineer, a scientist, and an entrepreneur. I’ve worked at CERN, in startups and scaleups, and at international research centres. I’ve also co-founded a startup and participated in Entrepreneurs First. I’ve led teams and owned technical and product roadmaps end to end. I’m primarily interested in lead roles and above (Staff/Principal/Lead/Head), including founding or early technical leadership roles, with substantial ownership and high agency, where I can define strategy and execute it. I’m particularly effective in interdisciplinary, cross-field, and ambiguous environments, where I can leverage my zig-zag career path to act as a force multiplier. I’m also open to senior IC roles in areas where I’m particularly strong and can be a “10x”: time series, anomaly detection, and making HPC easier to use. If you have anything for me, I look forward to hearing from you!
