I am confused... you advertise this as remote but on the job posting it states: "Relocation reimbursement, as needed. Please note: residence in or relocation to Minneapolis / St. Paul, MN is our one non-negotiable."

@pabloadolescent : It sounds like you may have had a negative experience, and I'm certainly sorry to hear that. @BuckRogers : We certainly respect your right to not apply if you do not like the process. That is why we are very up front about it on our application page and publicly post all the challenges in GitHub. Folks are welcome to review them prior to applying to decide with full knowledge of what may be asked.…

You should have a bypass rule for people who have github projects of credibility. It encourages OSS and saves time.

We've discussed that in the past and will likely discuss again in the future.

The value of the challenges over Github reviews are 1) allows us to anonymize the process, 2) eases level-setting and adjustment across the reviewers to prevent a "hard grader" throwing off the overall review, and 3) doesn't bias against those whose workplaces did not allow or encourage open source contributions. It gives us a consistent baseline as a starting point.

GitHub (or other open source code contributions) can come into play after the initial code challenge portion is passed and can be a great point of discussion in the interviews. We're definitely advocates for open source, especially in terms of making our work on behalf the people of America available to them in source format as much as possible.

For us, at least, we've found having a consistent first step to the recruiting process to be very beneficial in terms of giving everyone an equal starting point for consideration. It's proven difficult to come up with a method for weighing side projects versus open sourced work projects versus contributions to existing projects in a manner that has felt consistent and fair to candidates.

Just an FYI that the SRE role ( https://jobs.lever.co/particle/b27e9eae-50de-49fc-8c85-1b932... ) says ANYWHERE but in the description itself it says: "Located in or willing to relocate to San Francisco or Minneapolis".

"Located or willing to relocate" is in Preferences, but yeah we should make it clearer in the listing that it's a nice to have.

No offense intended, but isn't that a huge salary for a startup? Your burn rate must be massive!

2x normal salary isn't massive. Some startups get 5 mil investment, others get 10 — not a huge deal imo.

I wouldn't even say that's 2x a 'normal' salary. I'd say that's about the right range for senior talent with a proven history to execute. Pay peanuts, get monkeys. These folks want results, and they know the surefire way to get them.
