Scalyr | Backend, Frontend, Devops, Customer Success Engineers | San Mateo, CA | ONSITE I've built half a dozen startups, including Writely (aka Google Docs), and I can honestly say that Scalyr is my favorite so far. We're building an amazing team, users rave about our product, and things are taking off – we're closing seven-figure contracts and revenue grew 5x last year. And we're doing it on a sane, 40-hour, daily-…

Be warned that they won't respond if you don't jump through the hoop of crafting an eye-catching, customized cover letter, with the excuse that they've subjected themselves to "spray" campaigns from ZipRecruiter.

Did you miss a zero?

ahaha they probably not, since it's an internship. Without taxes it may be something around 800€ net per month, but you should get Spanish Social security insurance!

Net salary of 1000€/month. Social security and (salary) taxes on us.

iRobot | Software Engineers | Bedford, MA (near Boston, MA) and Pasadena, CA | ONSITE iRobot is hiring software engineers like they're going out of style. Which they're not. Quite the opposite, really. If you want to work with a bunch of friendly humans and robots, you should consider iRobot. We've got a great culture, benefits, and products. Most positions are for our Bedford, MA headquarters, which is just outside…

> embedded (aka firmware for buzzword compliance)

Firmware is a buzzword for embedded? I don't think this is right. In my experience "firmware" is a subset of embedded programming, referring to low-level bare-metal code such as bootloaders and microcontroller applications (literally code stored in ROM). "Embedded" more broadly refers to any code for systems other than servers, web and personal computers (including e.g. embedded Linux).

"Firmware" has been a term of art for as long as I've been programming, which is probably longer than a lot of readers on this site have been alive, so I'm not sure how it qualifies as a buzzword. Unless people doing Linux application programming now call themselves "firmware" engineers because they work on embedded systems?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Unlimited vacation comes down to placing the burden of taking time off on the employee. It's mostly there to deter employees from taking time off and to keep a competitive environment. "X left for 30 days last year, Y only 15. Y seems to be more invested in their work." Don't let this fool you, it's more often a trap than it's not.

"deter employees from taking time off" How come? My understanding is - communicate with the team - know the release dates - be working in critical moments... Personally I would love to work 6 months a year or 3-4 days a week... To travel and to develop my side projects. Treating job as a way to pay bills in expensive city like London. Unless - my personal incentives are aligned with the company - very often it's not…

Your understanding of what unlimited vacation means is not correct. It means: "more vacation than most jobs, probably" -- let's say about 5-6 weeks with stray days here and there.
