Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2023)

I'm afraid dang is setting the rules. whoishiring is a bot - in fact the only one that's allowed on HN.

I've seen this job description a few times before and I always feel a little bothered by it. The job sounds pretty good to be honest, and I do mean this very respectfully, but the description always seems to be directed to a grumpy old white dude. I think it's the "grizzled vet in the back room, finger on the enter button, the one who must be humbly approached" that does it. Anyway, I just thought I'd share my thoughts. I think you might be driving some talent (women/minorities) away.

Gruntwork | Software Engineers (Principal, Staff) | 100% Remote/US time zones | Full-time | https://gruntwork.io/careers

We aim to improve humanity's most important invention: Software. Our product packages DevOps and AWS best practices and makes them available for easy use by devs. Ultimately, we enable teams to launch and manage production-grade cloud infrastructure in days, not months, all backed by IaC the customer controls.

Tech stack: Go, Typescript, React/Next, Bash, Python, AWS, K8s, Terraform. We’re a small team (~20 people), but our clients include Toyota, Adobe, TicketMaster, Verizon, and lots of startups.

We are profitable, self-funded (no investors, no debt), pay salaries, equity, and bonuses according to transparent formulas, and are very focused on building a company we're proud of. We are 100% remote, with 2/3 of our team in the USA and 1/3 in Europe. We have company-wide in-person meetups every few months. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

We're looking for principal-level engineers to help us execute on an ambitious set of next-generation products.

Spacelift | Remote | Europe | Full-time | Senior Frontend Engineer

We're a VC-funded startup building an automation platform for Infrastructure-as-Code, adding a Policy-as-Code layer above it, in order to make IaC usable in bigger companies, where you have to take care of state consistency, selective permissions, a usable git flow, etc.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. There we're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem.

On the frontend side, we have React/Typescript that communicates over GraphQL (using the Apollo client) with our backend. We use Figma for design work. Here we’re looking for folks who like building tools for other engineers and have an obsession over great developer UI/UX.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and already have a lot of happy and satisfied customers.

We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as healthy working hours. We've also got investment days on Fridays, when you can work on anything you want, as long as it could possibly benefit Spacelift in some way.

If that sounds like fun to you, please apply at https://grnh.se/2fadc5bc5us (Frontend) or https://grnh.se/3138190b5us (Backend).
