Trello | SRE | NYC / Remote | Full-time | https://www.atlassian.com/company/careers/detail/6e2f6f54-03...

As a Site Reliability Engineer at Trello, you’ll work on keeping everything running efficiently as we scale our infrastructure from supporting over 35 million Trello users today towards our goal of 100 million users and maintaining our target of 99.99% uptime.

Our engineers and designers run the show with management existing to support, not dictate. We hire creative people and give them the autonomy to do great work. We're strongly against separations of responsibility and throwing work "over the wall." Our SRE team shares on-call responsibilities with our backend developers.

Trello is entirely hosted in AWS and is built using Node.js, MongoDB, Kafka, Redis, and ElasticSearch. We use Ubuntu, Puppet, Terraform, Nagios, Python, and Fabric to tie it all together.

I'd love to hear more about the story behind migrating from AWS to GCP. Is it primarily motivated by cost savings?

Thanks for the question. Cost savings is one component, but it’s more of a strategic move that aligns with our company goals to reduce carbon emissions.

How many hours do you expect for $2-3k/month?

I should have specified. I don't expect any set number of hours, since all of the work will be done remote. I care much more about a long-term relationship and big features being steadily built over time. So whatever rate that works out to, where some months are in the $150/hr range and some are in the $50/hr range, I'm happy so long as features as being steadily built.

Analytics fire | Remote | Full-time | Senior Embedded Linux Developer with C/C++ -- 100% Remote, Flexible hours https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/1787277799?trk=cap_redire...

Analytics Fire builds custom software for the solar power industry. We’re looking for a senior embedded developer with deep experience developing, testing, and debugging embedded software in a Linux environment to help us expand our services to support manufacturers in clean energy and other high-tech sectors.

Analytics Fire is a small, distributed team working on a range of interesting projects. For example, we recently helped build a custom IoT platform for utility grade solar power plants, sales software for residential solar systems, and a machine-learning powered autonomous cleaning robot. We’re looking for a fun, reliable, and highly collaborative, senior developer to join our team.

This is a remote position. We’re flexible about location and hours, so long as your working hours are within a European or US-overlapping time zone. We’re a really great match for a senior developer who wants to work hard on interesting projects, while simultaneously having flexibility around time and geography.

Ideally, you should have 5+ years developing, testing, and debugging embedded software in a Linux environment. You should be comfortable autonomously driving your own high quality / high velocity contributions using a range of technologies.

Just as a word of encouragement: I have done all my interviews for the past couple of months remotely (even though I am in Palo Alto!) and got an offer last week. That company currently plans more hiring over the next few months regardless of quarantine. So don’t despair.

Congrats on the offer! That must be exciting. Could you share what company or an idea of the company (size of the company/industry vertical) that could shed some light as to where the pockets of hiring are?

It’s a small startup and I’m the first remote. Closed some funding last Friday. No open reqs at this time but maybe in May/June.

In order to be vague I’ll use buzzwords: it’s a B2B PaaS in the security area. They have a MVP customer already though tech is still in development. Idea was to develop as fast as possible and secure some anchor customers. Turns out the current situation makes that plan even better because there’s less distraction. It helps that this product is an “aspirin” unlike (in my experience) most security products.

In my experience downturns kill medium sized companies most. Big companies will survive revenue downturns and tiny B2B companies like the one I’m joining can survive on one or two anchor customers because they are relatively merely sipping cash (even with SV salaries). Acquiring new enterprise customers is hard in a downturn though. Of course this downturn appears to be extreme so who knows. And if your product is B2C things may be disproportionally worse for you.

Also FB is still actively interviewing (at least they were last week!) to fill open reqs and likely other big companies are too. That may change as the economy declines but for now that appears to be the case. In fact “shelter at home” is great for companies like them. Of course I have no special visibility into their thoughts.
