Let's normalize Four Day Work Week. Could the author of `whoishiring` also include the 4DWW label as an optional tag that people can include (and search for).

You've posted that seven times in this thread already; can you please stop? I realize it's an important question but avoiding repetition is the cardinal principle here.
If you're so hot for enforcing your guidelines, then why don't you post those comments on the posts that skip "...include REMOTE, INTERNS and/or VISA..."? Then others wouldn't have to break other guidelines. It certainly doesn't feel reasonable that "avoiding repetition" should be more of a "cardinal" principle than clarity on rather vital information in a job posting.
There are way too many of those for us to reply to them all, or even see them all.
Avoiding repetition is pretty much the optimizing principle of HN. I usually describe it as "optimizing for intellectual curiosity"* but those are almost the same thing.

Ok, my bad. I just found it important for me and other possible applicants.
Appreciated!

#544Pretty sure these guys are not really hiring, they just make you go through the process (tests, interviews) and build a pool of potential candidates.

#545MONUMENTAL | https://www.monumental.co/ | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Full Time | Onsite We're building autonomous on-site construction robots at Monumental, starting with bricklaying. I'm part of the software team, but this week I have been on-site in Amsterdam building the walls of a new canal. Does that sound exciting to you? You should apply!

Do you guys help with visas/residence permits? I'm on a Highly Skilled Migrant visa. Seems like a cool company!
Yes, that shouldn't be an issue for software/meche positions.

I thought about applying when I saw this post last month. Cool product and interesting stack. But few things were a deal-breaker for me: - no ability to work less than 40 hours - very little room to work remotely Overall the vibe of your FAQ page was a bit off-putting to me. Giving this as honest feedback, if you continue to struggle to fill this position, those are things you might want to have a second look at.
Thanks for the feedback.
Speaking from my personal perspective here: I find it very useful to have quick feedback cycles. I can quickly hack something together, walk downstairs and immediately run it on a real robot. Totally appreciate that on-site isn't for everyone, but I don't think we could build what we are building while remote.

I get what you're saying, but this is an HN thread. I see people from companies I use to work at post in these threads sometimes. It's less a formal post and more like "Hey I'm on a team hiring, here's what the job entails, email me (or recruiter) if interested!" Yes it might technically amount to a job posting, but being pedantic and making this forum a hellish place probably isn't a good idea :)
This is not an informal discussion though. This is a monthly thread, posted by one of the administrators of the site, with the express purpose of matching job seekers with job providers. The top level post includes everything a normal job posting does, and is phrased in the style of a job posting. It would be hard to argue in a court of law that it is not, unless the OP doesn't have permission from Apple to advertise…
They will probably send you a link to formally apply on the Apple site once you send the email. I’m guessing that site will have the comp range.
Not a lawyer, but I’m guessing the comp range inclusion needs to be advertised before you formally apply for the position. I doubt the email here is that.

#548PostHog | Full-Time | product engineers and ex technical founder engineers | REMOTE (all remote) | Hiring GMT-8 to GMT+1 PostHog helps engineers build better products by combining product analytics, feature flags, session replay. * open source, building a dev tool.

I'm not really interested in any job offers now, but I think one thing needs clarification. Does GMT-8 to GMT+1 mean that you are okay with active hours being pretty much standard of these timezones, or that you literally require that applicants' place of residence would be considered in one of these timezones? This can make a huge difference for people who prefer at least slightly unusual circadian rhythms (night ow…
Also GMT+12 to GMT+14 is practically pretty close to GMT-8. (too late to edit)

Why would you want to work at YC? Well, the short of it is that you’d get unprecedented insight into how companies are started – with access to all the talks, constantly being around founders, and working directly with YC Group Partners. Our GPs are possibly the 12 most knowledgeable people in the world about starting companies. You’d be hard pressed to work here and NOT learn something new about startups every day – which might be helpful if you’re interested in starting a company yourself.
Software also touches everything YC does. When I went through YC in 2013, the core pieces of the YC batch were a dinner each week, a 1-1 with your group partner, and an end-of-batch Demo Day event to raise money. Today, YC offers so many software tools to help founders build their companies, including:
Demo Day website, which has helped founders raise $3B+ over the last 3 years Work at a Startup, where 1000s of companies have hired from a pool of 1M+ job seekers Bookface, a tool for YC founders to support and help each other build their companies
YC software runs kind of like a startup: we have a small engineering team (15 people) full of full-stack software developers (Rails, React, Postgres) who talk to our users, ship fast and iterate often. YC’s great for people who like to move fast and learn quickly. As a member of our team, you’d work with and learn from some pretty experienced people who were early at Facebook, Carta, Salesforce, Twilio and other top companies.
Many of us have also been founders, and seven former employees have gone on to start startups that were funded by YC. If you want to start a startup but don’t have a great idea yet, we welcome you to spend a couple years here to learn, and then launch your own. On the flip side, if you can see yourself writing code indefinitely, we’d love to keep you happy here at YC for a long time. Either one works for us.
Building software at YC isn’t for everyone – YC’s real product is the Batch program and the Group Partners’ advice and help for the life of your startup. Our software team is often in the background, helping scale YC’s ability to help more companies, and in a way that means more 1-1 attention and support for each founder. What keeps me motivated is continuing to scale and improve YC through software, and getting to work with some of the most kind and talented people of my 20+ year career.
If you have questions, I would love to answer them here. (It would help me understand how I can make our role & work more clear!) And if this resonates with you, shoot me an email with what you’d most be excited to work on (job descriptions below) – ryan@ycombinator.com
