How do you intend to weigh parent's rights against children's rights?

> governed primarily by those who believe in parent's rights

This sounds like a dog whistle to me. Is there some more neutral sense to 'parents rights'?

It would be great if you could mention on your job adverts the list of remote locations you have available instead of "except where specific locations are noted" as this list doesn't show up until the very end of the application which is disappointing when you fill out the full application only to see you location (New Zealand) isn't on the list.

I wouldn't bother with this one. Typical wannabe Facebook/Google/etc interview process without actually understanding the point of those companies' interview processes.

You'll get a leetcode/coderbyte question. It doesn't matter if you completely understand the problem, explain the process completely, answer any/all considerations (optimizations, trade-offs, etc), and come to a functional solution; you'll fail unless it's the exact perfectly optimized solution they expected (in 30-40mins, with someone watching over your shoulder).

Basically, a targeted hiring pipeline for people that rote memorize/practice leetcode problems. Not actual engineers.

Lyceum AI | Full-Stack Developer | REMOTE (though must be Ohio-based)

Here's a link to the job description, as well as a company description. In short, we've built an AI teacher's assistant for use in classrooms. We've raised 600k through a mix of grants, angel, and institutional funds.

Link - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oLlI0e0gtF-MECAKDrPNk82y...

The role is currently on a contract basis, due to some restrictions from grant funding, but that can change in the future once the grant funding is fully used.

Is this really necessary to call out? Why discourage candidates from applying?

Bet it's just the standard reason: people collaborate better in person and advance their skills worse over time when WFH.

I understand that companies give those reasons when the real reason tends to be that the company is locked in to a lease agreement or some similar real estate-related issue. But if you’re saying those things are actually true, that gets a big fat [citation needed] from me.

Stainless | Generalist Engineers, Customer Engineers, Full-Stack Engineers, EMs, Former Founders, Account Executives, more | NYC ONSITE | Full-time

Stainless is building the platform for high-quality, easy-to-use APIs. Our first product is SDKs as a service.

When you `npm install openai` or `pip install anthropic` or `go get …cloudflare`, for example, you’re downloading code that we generated. (I built the codegen system at Stripe for their SDKs, and am now building a better version for everyone.)

Next, we want to make it easy to build amazing REST APIs. REST is simple and ubiquitous, but right now it’s also messy, chaotic, and hard to get right. We’re going to build great open-source standards and tooling that bring the benefits of GraphQL (types, field selection/expansion, standards) and gRPC (types, speed, versioning) to REST.

We’re ~2y old, ~15 people, have strong revenue (could choose to be profitable), and great customers (including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cloudflare). We’re backed by Sequoia.

As one of our first 20 engineers, you’ll get autonomy to build great products, skilled peers, opportunity for tremendous impact, competitive salary, and a very competitive ownership stake.

We’re looking for exceptionally productive, thoughtful, tasteful, and kind people with a passion for making software development better for everyone.

Want to build the future of API tooling? See more at stainlessapi.com/jobs or say hi: alex at stainlessapi.com
