I'm a Sr. Security Engineer at a security firm called Defense Point Security. We are always looking for remote talent. Feel free to shoot me an email at ryan.damour@defpoint.com with your resume!

Hi Ryan, security is something I'm very interested in. Don't have much experience apart from tinkering. Would love to chat if you had some time?

>>> * Who reads your team's pull requests? (worst answer is "nobody", 2nd worst answer is "the team"). What's the best answer you've heard for this one?

Something involving not only the team reviewing each other's code but somebody with the power to hire/fire (i.e. the answer "I will").

Ah, makes sense. Thanks.

In all honesty, I work part time on remote jobs. I have a lot of debt I need to pay off, family medical. I have for the 2 years, applied to 100+ jobs a week. When I don't have work or when I find my current work teetering off, I sit down every Monday, go to 40+ job sites I have collected over time and just apply to as many as possible within the 2 hours or so. Its hit or miss, but I tend to find something within the…

How do you apply for such vast number of jobs? For me, applying for the job is a tedious process of researching about the company, products, team members, CEO and CTO, and only after that crafting a cover letter and attaching CV.

The HN's Who's hiring thread is pretty good - I found a remote job twice there, and I'm not even in the US.

What stack?

Different each time: once it was a niche AI/ML developer job with little stack preference, once Node and once Scala. It's three jobs (not two) because when writing the top post I actually forgot about one job that I've found through Who's hiring :)

One of my companies has been growing and our single developer is leaving. I've been hard at work preparing everything for remote developers to be able to help us out where ever they are and how for as much hours as we can afford them to work. My idea is to scale the company based on a dynamic remote team, where knowledge is shared and only ideas come from within the company itself. Please tell me where you have been…

The Who is Hiring threads on HN have been pretty useful - you tend to find likeminded people.

If you need any part-time assistance with DevOps-related topics (Continuous Delivery/Integration, etc.), I'd be interested in hearing more - my email is in my profile.

Could you explain me why you don't like those "I do not recomment" sites? I just registered at upwork.com and would love to know the (bad) experiences you had with them, for instance. Thanks!

Yes, this is a difficult issue. At GitLab we have people in more than 30 countries. In the majority of countries we have contractors, in some (US/NL/UK) we have a company, in some we hire through a reseller (India/China), and in Belgium we can hire on the Dutch payroll due to the EU. I hope someone starts the Stripe/Adyen for payrolling people. If you plan to do so please email me so I can help with advise and be you…

A good idea. Also non-trivial to do, which would give a moat if executed well. Btw. This seems to be a more readable version of the URL, one that you posted linked to git commit https://sytse.com/2016/12/28/adyen-for-payrolling.html

Thanks for posting the proper link.

If your schedule permits, you should definitely blog more often. Your comments here are so well thought out. PS: Gitlab is awesome, keep up the good work.

Thanks anondon, that is very kind of you to comment.
