Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2026)
Please only post if you personally are part of the hiring company—no recruiting firms or job boards. One post per company. If it isn't a household name, explain what your company does.
Please only post if you are actively filling a position and are committed to replying to applicants.
Commenters: please don't reply to job posts to complain about something. It's off topic here.
Readers: please only email if you are personally interested in the job.

Level 12 is a software consulting and custom development agency. We have mid and senior level positions. Our job descriptions are written by developers for developers. No HR fluff here, we want you to know what you are really getting into:
https://www.level12.io/careers/
- We have a commitment to transparency and offer a "no surprises experience" throughout the interview and hiring process. We value candor...as evidenced by the length of our job description. :)
- Our CEO prefers the title CED, Chief Executive Developer. Engineering and operational concerns don't take a back seat when potential sales come to the front door.
- You will be working remote with a team that is all working remote and has been for years. Let's make the best use of our time by not commuting.
- We practice and preach sound development practices. You are likely to learn and grow as a developer while working here.
- You are committed to automated testing of all the software you write (our apps typically have 92%+ test coverage).
- We have a no-drama office policy. We value and cultivate enjoyable working relationships among team members. No jerks allowed!
- We emphasize work/life balance and adopt policies that make sure our people don't get burnt out. For instance, our PTO/Vacation policies are designed so that you actually use them.
- If you apply, we guarantee that we will give you a response, whether "yay" or "nay". No black holes here!
NOTE: our intent to hire is currently tentative but should be resolved one way or the other in the next couple weeks. So, if you are interested, read the job description but, for now, don't go through the entire application process unless you really want to. Just email me (the CEO) with a clean dad joke, or your take on Kirk vs Picard, and reference your interest: randy.syring@level12.io. I'll follow-up in a couple weeks when I know for sure if we are going to be taking applications.

Well, can you understand the job posting? [1] It’s written in Japanese, so if you can’t read it, you’re probably not qualified to work in Japan. Some companies do hire non-Japanese speakers if your main goal is visa sponsorship to move here, but that’s not a great idea. You really need enough Japanese to get by, handle taxes, see a doctor, manage your bank account, and read emergency instructions in case of an earthquake or tsunami. It’s better to learn the language before you make the move.
At xdof, we're at an inflection point. Frontier labs are racing to build general-purpose robots, and high-quality training data is the bottleneck. We're building the foundation behind the foundation models – the data collection systems, operational capability, exabyte-scale data warehouse, and software toolchain – to help our partners drive the field forward.
Founded by UC Berkeley Robotics PhDs and MechEs, this is a team that executes across software, hardware, and operations faster than I can believe sometimes. This speed and ability to deliver has led to partnerships with many of the top players in the space.
We are not quite yet out of stealth, so not able to share more details here, but are so understaffed relative to demand that I'd like to start semi-public hiring ASAP.

Return (https://return.energy) is hiring a software engineer to work on platforms that accelerate the transition to carbon-free energy. Return’s main activity is building and operating industrial-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems. Our operations are located in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and Spain. You will make a measurable, country-level impact on the transition to renewable energy. Return recently raised €300M to support its growth.
While we employ more than 120 people, Return’s technical team remains small with 13 members. Our platform automates processes in energy storage, monitoring, market optimization, sales, project management, procurement, construction, and customer service.
During the first three years of operation, we laid the foundation for our platforms, and we are ready to scale up. This is why we are looking for an experienced software engineer.
Your primary focus will be to further develop our battery virtualization platform, enabling customers to use slices of battery capacity distributed across our fleet of industrial-scale batteries.
Our tech stack and toolset are straightforward: Go, Python, Ruby, PostgreSQL, TigerData, dbt, Dagster, Grafana, Terraform, and self-hosted plus cloud compute. We keep meetings to a minimum to provide at least five hours of uninterrupted coding time per day. We conduct code reviews and apply both automated and manual testing. Our web apps and platforms are often deployed multiple times per day.
Return has offices in Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Hamburg, Munich, Madrid, and Stuttgart. We are very open to remote work as long as you live in the EU. Our hiring process is swift but thorough: a brief call to get acquainted and discuss finances, followed by one or more technical interviews, and a paid visit to Amsterdam to meet the team.
The tech team members have co-founded several companies and have worked with remote development teams since 2008, and they will personally guide you through most of the recruiting process (there is no recruiter involved).
We aim to hire you in February or March ultimately.
