Do remotes need to be US based?

No! we have folks as far as CET. We aren't ready to expand timezones coverage further than that right now though.

Sounds like a terrible place to work: https://www.inc.com/magazine/201808/burt-helm/hellofresh.htm...

If you see Berlin startup from Rocket Internet (like HelloFresh is) you can safely assume it has horrible working conditions.

This is a good primer. https://thehustle.co/rocket-internet-oliver-samwer

We are a top ten UK media publisher, with a website loved by millions: a technology company at heart with industry-leading success metrics propelled by a highly experienced multi-disciplinary engineering team that can afford to run lean. Which means today, we offer all the excitement and agility of a start-up, but with the stability and benefits of an established business — we’re still a company where everyone gets to make a massive impact!

Our mission: to democratise and disrupt the market for news. Today, we have major plans for growth, both here in the UK and abroad, and to create even more social capital out of what has been an extremely successful platform: through increased editorial direction, curating credible but independent journalism, as well as through computational approaches to identifying the best news to show our users.

We currently have these opportunities:

- As a /Designer/Developer/, you’ll be responsible for designing all aspects of the website UI and brand, and work closely with Head of Digital Product and senior management on the biggest redesign of our homepage in 20 years. You will be working with Adobe Creative Suite, JavaScript/Node/React, CSS3/SASS, HTML5, Responsive Web Design, progressive enhancement and feature detection.

- As a /Fully Remote Web Developer/, you’ll write the logic that drives the UI, and integrate new UI with back-end data. You’ll also work on a wide array of other UI/UX, SEO, and content integration challenges.

- As a /Fully Remote Full Stack Developer/, you’ll be expected to contribute authoritatively towards product development projects throughout the entire software stack: from database and infrastructure installation and configuration, through writing business logic and prototyping website presentation, to developing our bespoke programmatic advertising technologies.

- As a /Fully Remote News Algorithm Developer/, you’ll develop automated curation algorithms that will produce the content for a new homepage format.

- As a /Fully Remote Back End Software Engineer/, your projects will largely be server-side. You will bring a sophisticated approach to problem solving, finding ways to achieve objectives while addressing scalability challenges and security concerns.

All London positions are based at our centrally-located head office. All fully remote roles are open to UK residents only.

If you think you’re a fit for any of these roles, please apply online. http://www.NewsNow.co.uk/careers/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What are typical salarys for senior positions in Auckland? Looked at emmigrating a few years back but couldn't make the numbers work, and since then house prices have nearly doubled.

House prizes in Auckland and in a few other areas around the country are a bit crazy, but you still find some good properties in other nearby suburbs and apartments are not really expensive - most prefer houses here. Salary for senior positions varies according to tech stack.. but I believe it's above 90K NZD per year, maybe something between 90-120K full time employee. There are some jobs posted under this threshold…

Yes, 100-120k was the sort of numbers I was looking at. Thought I might be wrong. I don't understand how people can live on that (and that's top 5% salary), while paying $1m+ for housing. I have similar thoughts about London too, but the multiplier between senior position (say £70k) and average house (£350k) is far lower.

A friend who emigrated in 2005 and bought a $400k house, great move (especially as he paid cash from equity in his 3 bed terrace in Kent). Still expensive to live there (especially if you want to see family on occasion), but it seems the opportune time to immigrate has sailed.

I am canadian in toronto, canada. Can I work remote? I can get TN visa

Another Canadian in Toronto. Its not hard for US companies to work with remote Canadians but there is a perception that taxes, payroll, insurance is hard when its not. Its frustrating because the US dollar has more buying power so they can get higher quality developers at a lower rate.

Coinbase set up an on site and rejected me the day before the interview, after I was already in SF, partially because of how I capitalized my constants on their coding test (capitalizing is a Google standard). They should have instead rejected me before I flew out, or after the interview, if they didn't like how I capitalized my constants. To be fair they were going through a lot of growing pains, but I hope they fig…

At least you got quite the story out of it, how did you find out that it was the capitalization (also: what is the standard, now I’m doubly-curious)? Chalking that up to growing pains is quite big of you. That’s a monumental multi-person screw-up in my book.

After requesting feedback, they sent a point breakdown and I saw they detracted just enough points for it to put me under their threshold
