On June 26, Hacker News launched a dedicated thread titled “Ask HN: Who wants to be hired?” that invites developers to list their skills and contact details. The format requires Location, Remote, Willing to relocate, Technologies, Résumé/CV, and Email, ensuring recruiters can filter candidates quickly. The call echoes the platform’s tradition of peer‑driven job hunting for current tech industry needs.

Candidates span continents: São Paulo engineer Rodrigo Hgpontes lists JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and AI workflow tools, while San Francisco veteran Brynn Bateman showcases full‑stack game and MMO projects using Babylon/WebGL and Go servers. A Colombian specialist offers deep‑learning expertise with PyTorch, JAX, and CUDA, and a German developer focuses on embedded Linux and DPDK networking. The thread compiles a talent pool.

Recruiters can direct inquiries to the provided email addresses, while job seekers are encouraged to use external portals like https://nthesis.ai/public/hn-wants-to-be-hired and https://www.wantstobehired.com. The post underscores Hacker News’ role as a low‑friction marketplace where experienced engineers—ranging from AI researchers to embedded specialists—can connect directly with hiring teams, bypassing traditional job boards and agency pipelines and seeking high skill positions today now.
