What happened
This is Hacker News' recurring monthly 'Who is hiring?' thread for November 2026, sitting at 213 points and 168 comments with strict posting rules (state location, mark REMOTE/ONSITE, one post per company, no recruiters). The visible posts include Scento, a Paris/Berlin perfume-decant retailer founded in 2024, hiring a Staff Full-Stack Engineer on Next.js/Medusa at €140k–€185k plus a Head of Data & Analytics (€135k–€175k) and other roles, remote-EU or onsite; and Modash.io hiring a Senior Product Engineer remote-Europe at €80k–€110k for a product indexing 380M+ public creator profiles across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. No Malaysian or Southeast Asian roles or pay details appear in the excerpt.
Why it matters
The only hard numbers here are EU remote bands: €140k–€185k for a staff Next.js/Medusa engineer and €80k–€110k for a senior product engineer, both explicitly 'REMOTE (EU)'. If you are benchmarking what a senior TypeScript/Next.js role pays on a remote-EU team, those are two concrete data points; if you are hiring, the thread's rules mean posting early in the month with an explicit location and salary band is the way to get seen. Nothing in this excerpt supports a Malaysia-specific decision.
Discussion angle
Are monthly HN hiring threads still worth the effort versus job boards and referrals — and what does a €140k–€185k EU-remote staff Next.js band imply for how local Malaysian teams price the same stack?
