Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2021)

Hi Daniel, what's your pay band for Mid and Senior devs for Remote and Onsite positions?

REMOTE (Worldwide) - Senior Open Source Developer on Open edX - React, Python/Django, AWS/OpenStack (OpenCraft - Fully remote company)

Do you care about contributing to open-source, and appreciate a good challenge? We do too! :)

Open-source

We are a team of veteran open-source developers, working on educational and community-based projects in an open-first environment – and we are looking for new members. By joining us, you will work full-time on open-source, pushing your changes to free software projects upstream through pull requests, contributing features, documentation, or help on public forums.

We care deeply about contributing our work upstream. You will see the results of your work reused and recognized across the educational community, increasing access to quality education for everyone, everywhere.

Remote-first

Unlike companies who reluctantly started to accept remote workers recently, we have embraced it from day 1. For the past 7 years, we have based and refined our way of working around remote-friendly workflows, from the ground up. No day-long video meetings, mandatory work hours, or risk of being forced back into an office one day -- as long as you have a good internet connection, it’s none of our business when or where you work from. :)

We are all working remotely, from all continents (except Antarctica, at least so far - applicants welcome!). We use remote-friendly and timezone-agnostic workflows based on asynchronous principles and good documentation practices.

Online education

We are one of the main contributors to the Open edX project, the main open-source MOOC platform created by MIT, Harvard and many other top universities. It powers sites like edX.org, the MIT Open Learning Library, and the national online learning platform for France. We provide development and hosting for institutions like Harvard Medical School, Harvard LabXchange, Cloudera, Autodesk, and several governments. We are not affiliated with edX.org, but we contribute and work with them on various projects.

Our handbook, like much of our work, is publicly viewable and you can find it at https://handbook.opencraft.com/.

Betafi | Founding Software Engineer (Full stack) | Full-time, Singapore / Remote (UTC+8) | https://www.betafi.co/

Betafi is building a next-generation platform to democratize user research and help product teams to co-create with their customers.

We empower organizations to understand their target customers and build usable interfaces with delightful UX by integrating research directly into their product development cycles, with fast turnarounds from finding the right participants to arriving at actionable insights.

As one of our Founding Engineers, you will help to build and scale the software powering the core Betafi platform across our web dashboard, live video toolkit, and mobile experiences.

What makes you a great fit:

- #1 You are a generalist, "full stack" product engineer, familiar with web technologies and able to contribute across the frontend and backend, undeterred from scoping and tackling systems-level challenges with an eye for ensuring a delightful end-user experience.

- #2 You have 3-5+ years of experience writing software professionally, ideally for SaaS tools or consumer-facing digital products.

- #3 You enjoy talking to customers to hear about their pain-points and translating them into high-impact engineering deliverables. As a small startup, each of us wears "the PM hat" in some capacity: you are keen to iterate on different product surfaces to delight our users.

- #4 You are excited to start as an "individual contributor" with the potential to grow into a leadership role over time (if interested): help with hiring and onboarding other engineers to the team, providing mentorship to junior staff in the future as we ramp up the business.

Stack: We use the Elixir programming language with the Phoenix Framework to power our backend services, and a mix of Phoenix LiveView and a more conventional React (TypeScript) codebase for rich interactions on the front-end. We rely on a variety of AWS and GCP APIs to power the Betafi platform.

To apply, please send an up-to-date:

- one-pager resume that covers technical projects you have delivered in the past and clarifies your involvement, technologies you are familiar with, etc. - Personal website, GitHub profile, or any representative examples of code you have written recently that reflect your engineering capabilities
