Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (July 2026) on Monday July 13, 2026 @01:07AM (#48888154)
I'm doing a personal research project into the technical maturity of ccTLDs. So far I've mostly been working with easily accessible public information, which I'm almost ready to publish, but the next phase is going to be trying to identify markers of stack complexity (provisioning etc) which is going to be tricky.

I'd love to hear from anyone else doing work in this area!

Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2023) on Thursday November 02, 2023 @02:23AM (#38109638)
Nominet | Senior Front-end engineer | Full-Time | ONSITE / Hybrid (Oxford, UK) | £55k - £75k plus bonus and great benefits

About us: We run DNS for the .uk domain space, and a growing number of other TLDs as well. My team is currently working on a complete re-write of our flagship customer UIs used by domain owners, sellers and TLD admins.

Stack: At the moment we're an Angular / TypeScript / Java shop (but I'm secretly not convinced about Angular so I'd be happy to hear from people with experience in other frameworks and even happier to hear from people who've done migrations!).

Role: This is a key hire for me, all the frontend engineers in my team are contract at the moment and you'd be my first permanent frontend specialist. The team is cross-functional so you'd be working with backend engineers and QA folk on the day-to-day, and regularly talking to our DevOps, SA and Product teams too. NB the company is also hiring for a bunch of other posts, see jobs.nominet.uk.

Apply: https://jobs.nominet.uk/job/Oxford-Hybrid-Front-End-Engineer... - all applications are read by a human but that human isn't me in the first instance, if you don't hear anything feel free to leave a comment and I'll chase up!
