Earlier quoted context omitted.

What does (m/f) denote?

In German, words like "engineer" are gendered and may be misunderstood to mean that only men are sought. So it's very common in job advertisements to put something like this to signal that males and females (and, implicitly, any other gender or non-gender) are invited to apply.

Thank you for the explanation, I have always wondered about that

Waldo Photos | Front-End/Full-Stack Engineer | Austin, TX | ONSITE | REMOTE | Full-time | $80k - $100k

Waldo Photos is a photo finding platform empowering consumers to toss their selfie sticks, put their phones back in their pockets and live in the moment. Waldo is the only platform that removes all of the friction in getting photos of you taken by others and creates new opportunities for photographers to market and sell their photos.

We're looking for an independent problem-solver who values learning, keeps current on technology trends, and enjoys the ownership and accountability that is expected from early-stage team members. The ideal candidate:

Desired Qualifications:

- Proficiency in React and Redux (built and shipped, 2 years of experience desired)

- Some experience in GraphQL and related libraries like Relay or Apollo (or at least some friction with those and willingness to learn)

- Strong design engineering skills (HTML/CSS/UX implementations)

- In depth understanding of the JavaScript ecosystem. Including but not limited to: ES2015/6/7, Babel, Webpack, Node.js runtime differences, Universal JavaScript, Unit test runners and supporting frameworks

- Interested in Node.js backend work or desire to learn other languages (we use Python, Clojure, Go and whatever language/library/platforms is right for the job)

The part of our stack you'd be primarily working on:

We're heavy GraphQL users and all our web properties are based on React. Our main frontend web property is built on top of Apollo and Redux while we have some properties using just Redux (but still interfacing with GraphQL).

Our hiring process:

We don't do algorithmic interviews, we provide a take-at-home mini-test focused on the frontend and then you'll have a couple of discussions with some of our engineers about it.

Our vacation policy is very flexible.

I'm curious, do you have any suggestions for reading on designing microservices while explicitly dealing with network chattiness? It seems like that can be a major issue.

For instance, if you have your microservices setup in the cloud, AWS/Azure/GCP, and have your microservice domains on their own servers network chattiness can easily cause issues with billing and service responsiveness if business logic regularly deals with multiple domains.

I can't speak for life in any of their offices, but just a heads up to anyone thinking of applying here: I interviewed with them, made it several rounds, and then they went radio silent, after giving me the runaround. Given they approached me, this was particularly confusing. They just seemed very disorganized. This was a few months back, so maybe they've change, but it was a complete waste of time.

I interviewed in Eugene at a game company once many years ago. Was raining the whole time, their building was covered with moss, people were crammed in cubes in the hall, and the president handed me a written programming test. I handed it back and said no thanks and left.

Is that $160k/yr Bay area dollars or normal living places dollars? aka if it was normal dollars, it'd be close to $250k/yr Bay Area dollars

I'm guessing they are the ordinary fungible federal reserve dollars that can be spent in SF and other places too
