REMOTE ONLY GitLab - We're hiring production engineers, service engineers, developers, business development reps, and director level positions, see https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/ We're a remote only company so everyone can participate and contribute equally. GitLab Community Edition is an open-source Ruby on Rails project with over 1000 contributors.

> Ruby experience For this position, a significant amount of experience with Ruby is a strict requirement. Perhaps a good idea to add developers(RoR)

Knowing Ruby is not a strict requirement for all the positions https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/. But for few it will be great if you know any scripting language and just basics of ruby.

"We do not care about your academic degrees [...]" Unfortunately embassies do care about these. Getting a work permit to immigrate to another country without an university degree certainly reduces the chances to get the embassy's approval, even in countries like Germany where there is some flexibility — if you have a Senior profile — a degree certainly accelerates the process. In fact, in this industry, there is less…

You are right. It would me much easier for us to require academic degrees. There are still ways to get a work permit for non-EU engineers without a degree, but its much more difficult and subject to a lot of arbitrariness. In some cases, it required months-long battles and countless appeals with the german federal agencies and thats already with support from the city of berlin. It's a difficult situation for all parties involved and we always warn candidates who might not qualify for an "easy" visa about the implications.

Unfortunately, the world is not and has never been a fair and equal place. Most people from western countries do not realize of privileged they are.

Hiring process also includes a demand to find 11 errors in the job post and enumerate those in the cover letter. Took ~20 minutes to compose the cover letter to their specifications, and they didn't even have the courtesy to let me know they'd received the cover letter. I'd rather have those 20 minutes back.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The price is that high for a reason: sf has a lot to offer. Networking opportunities, job market liquidity (see all the ONSITE SF posts in this very thread), etc. Perhaps not 3.6 more, but it definitely beats a cabin in the Siberian tundra. By correcting for rent, you give people that advantage for free. That's why it's unfair.

The way to deal with their unfairness is to refuse to work for them (unless you're in SF!)

Trust me on that I am working with GitLab from past 6 months and I have never regretted a day. GitLab is always open for ideas and this is also work in progress. How many companies have you seen declaring their compensation framework :)
