Same for me, although only with 5 years of experience.

Same for me, and I currently hunt child traffickers for a living. I have written them detailed cover letters about how predators are exploiting block-chain tech and the dark web and how I see product that could expose these predators. Have not gotten back so much as crickets. I am also a full stack developer (20 years) well versed in the stacks they use.

Wow. That's crazy. I can't imagine what they're thinking. The weird thing is I have gone on Linkedin and looked for who they hired after a role I applied for is closed, and it's usually journeyman programmers who don't have any domain experience. My suspicion is they're hiring from their own networks, and the job listings are just a show.

We’re a small team building the analytics engine that powers 6,000 companies and helps them make smarter decisions.

Heap automates away the pain of data. Other analytics tools require you to define events upfront and manually instrument code. Instead, Heap automatically captures everything: clicks, submissions, taps, etc. This lets our users analyze data instantly and retroactively, without writing code.

Our app-layer stack is TypeScript, React, Node.js, Redis, and PostgreSQL. Under the hood, Heap is powered by ZooKeeper, Kafka, and Citus.

If you are interested, please email at anojh@heap.io or visit https://heap.io/careers/jobs.

I would actively encourage any prospective candidates please first go and look at the GlassDoor reviews before considering applying

Look for certain similarities all of the positive "reviews" have -- I can't say it outright without risking my job but if something smells funny to you, I would trust your gut

Blue Canvas | Senior Engineer | Remote, SF, Berlin | https://bluecanvas.io

We make source control and DevOps tools for the Salesforce dev ecosystem. We were shocked to learn that Salesforce devs and admins build impressively complex applications without any kind of source control or CI! The market is growing fast as more companies embrace “low code” platforms like Salesforce ($13B was spent customizing Salesforce in 2017).

We’ve reached profitability working with initial customers like Twilio, McKesson and Intercom and recently raised a round from Indie.vc. We admire companies like Basecamp, Mailchimp and Atlassian who grew mostly with customer revenue AND made a significant impact.

We’re looking for experienced full-stack engineers to take a senior role working with our CTO. We are a remote-first company.

We're excited about you if you have experience in some of the following:

- Vue.js, Typescript, Apollo GraphQL - Python 3 - Ruby on Rails, GitLab - AWS, Terraform, Docker

Email jobs@bluecanvas.io if you're interested with the subject line "Interested in engineering at Blue Canvas"

Just looking through your careers page and I'm wondering if the backend role filled and if are you open to working with a dev(s) who can sync up with US time even if they are nowhere near NY/EST time?

I would consider it. I have to put that in now since I tried to work with someone in New Zealand and they were working when I was sleeping :) . Can't do that again.
