On the first of every month, Hacker News hosts a “Who’s Hiring” thread where companies post open roles directly. It’s one of the most-read job listings in tech - not because of the format (it’s a plain text comment thread) but because the signal-to-noise ratio is remarkably high. Companies post honest descriptions, founders often reply directly, and the community’s technical sophistication keeps the listings substantive.
What to Expect
A single monthly thread with hundreds of listings spanning remote and onsite roles across engineering, product, data science, and research. Startups dominate, but established companies appear too. The companion “Who Wants to Be Hired” thread lets candidates post themselves. Several third-party tools aggregate and search the threads if you want something more structured than scrolling comments.
Who It’s For
Developers, engineers, and technical founders who are plugged into the startup and indie tech world. The listings skew toward roles that value craft and autonomy - you’re unlikely to find enterprise IT jobs here, but you will find interesting early-stage opportunities before they appear anywhere else.
