Stride | Devops/Backend Engineer | Remote at the moment, Salt Lake City eventually

At Stride we're working on a benefits suite for what we believe is an underserved community – freelance and gig economy workers. We want to create economic security for anyone who works for themselves. We offer an easy way for 1099 workers to apply for health/dental/vision coverage. We're also expanding to other spaces like tax, so as to make it financially accessible for anybody who juggles multiple gigs, or is just pursuing a dream on their own.

As a business, we sit on a unique position and have partnerships with a ton of giant companies who want to better serve their workforce. It's rare that a startup has a good mission and a good business, but here we are.

We are looking for an experienced software engineer with experience and passion for DevOps, infrastructure and backend application development. You will build backend applications that drive the operation of our marketplace products. Additionally, you will drive operational excellence by implementing and supporting DevOps practices like proactive monitoring, CICD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code.

We predominantly work with Python, NodeJS, Postgres, Redis, and Terraform. Our systems are built on AWS so experience building cloud-ready services is a plus. A good grasp of software craftsmanship and a passion for learning are a must. We are a small, nimble organization where you will have plenty of opportunities to make a big impact!

Our headquarters are in San Francisco and we are building a team based in Salt Lake City. While we are fully remote right now, we will be supporting a flexible work structure going forward with an office location in Salt Lake City. We offer fantastic benefits (after all, it's our product!) and you'll be surrounded by the most driven, smartest people I know. We have a supportive, productive culture that's respectful of your own personal time and well-being.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's probably because the game is not useless... for one side. If you find a guy who is good at doing his job, but has no idea about its market value, and asks for half of what he could get, great! You just got a 50% discount. Imagine how hard he will work in order to get a 5% salary raise... which will still be a 45% discount. If that guy is already working for you (with the 50% discount) and you post a new job li…

That’s interesting. Shows the importance of discussing salary openly which is still pretty taboo in some regions. If this weren’t protected I have no doubt companies would use ad targeting tech to show different rates to people This almost suggests that companies should post a low offer initially, and gradually raise it until they get enough competent hires (ignoring the extra time this takes)

The taboo of discussing salary is just a tool to keep the employees in the dark, so that it's easier to negotiate with those who are less market savvy.

I have also heard the reasons why it is "also good for the employees". Like, "what if you are more productive than your colleagues, and you get a higher salary than them, then they would be jealous of you, and it would make the workplace interaction awkward". Yeah, pull the other one! In real life, if you do similar things, the differences in salaries are random, depending on negotiating skills, and the market situation in the year each employee was hired. And, of course, geographical location; the most important job skill is to be born on the right side of the border.

> post a low offer initially, and gradually raise it

If you do this publicly, the people who accepted the initial offer will notice they made a mistake, and will either ask for a raise or start doing interviews with other companies.
