SUSE is hiring for 68 different positions. 36 in Engineering. (REMOTE OK², CAN OFFER VISA, RELOCATION SPONSORSHIP) - Nuremberg, Germany - Prague, Czech Republic - Beijing, China - any SUSE location globally or home office We have positions open for Docker developers, Kernel engineers, Java/Linux developers, Ruby hackers, Rails developers, OpenStack engineers, and QA engineers. SUSE is a 20+ year old company providing…

As luck would have it, I'm living in Nuremberg and would love to work at SUSE. However, I didn't get any feedback at all of my applications. Any hints on what I could do to improve my chances?

You should get some feedback. Can you tell me for which positions you applied? I will make sure that it gets fixed for the future (dmacvicar at suse dot com).

Speaking only for the positions my team/department: Our positions include a small challenge. You need to add a small feature or improvement via a Pull Request on Github to some code and ping pong with your future team members.

The goal not only to see technical skills but also how do you work together with the current team members, how do you handle critics in your code, how do you structure your changes, etc.

The challenge is not difficult, but we value the time and courage of the people who took part in it. My team tends to focus its energy in those.

If the job description gives you a chance to highlight yourself from the rest, take it!.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thank you for being the the only listing with salary information.

You're welcome. Maybe next month we'll see a salary range on all posts?

Most people, including myself, won't bother applying to a position unless the salary range is posted.

There's no point to doing 2, 3, or even 4 interviews for a job that potentially pays less.

Employers should learn that lesson.

Knack | http://knackhq.com/jobs | REMOTE | Senior Developer | 70-120k +equity

Knack (http://knackhq.com) is a database PaaS that makes it easy for anyone to build online database apps. We're growing rapidly and looking for software (node.js) engineers.

We're focused on building a profitable long-term business with a product our customers love. We don’t compete with Google on start-up perks, but we can more than compete if you’re looking to sink you teeth in and make a difference:

* Impact: we’re expecting anyone that joins to come in and have a major impact. We’re small enough that every customer interaction, every marketing spend, every line of code has an over-sized impact.

* Equity: we don’t need hired-guns, we need team members. We want to share our long-term vision and success, and make sure you have equity in that journey.

* Autonomy: we don’t look for specific roles, we look for good fits. You’ll be able to contribute with your strengths and determine the projects you want to drive forward.

* Flexibility: supporting our chosen lifestyles is major part of our success equation. Join a remote team and create your own hours. Work how and where you want to.

* Culture: we work hard but also don’t take ourselves too seriously and make sure we have a great time along the way.
