#22We're looking for python-specific skills at the moment, ideally with crawler and scaling experience. We have some developers in the UK, but most of our guys are in Russia. The Russian guys have proved to be very very capable. We did not outsource to a company, but found people via forums and then recruited individually (initially) and then grew the team using the initial guys help.
very true. Hopefully I'm not just being bigoted because I am Russian, but I have worked with Russian speaking guys (Ukraine is great also) and I have to say that they care about the product quality. They often pushed back on my feature requests and forced me to discuss them until they were convinced the feature would be good. They want to make apps THEY want to use. At least, get the ones that DO that.
Yes, definitely. They don't just work as employees and they suggest new ideas, new ways of working that over the years have been hugely beneficial (with hindsight). I'd just like to also say that I gave some of the primary guys a revenue share in some of our products (such as SourceGuardian) and that was a way to say "thank you". The legal and taxation complexity of share ownership was going to be too difficult, so we have run with revenue share and it works well

#23Please mention if you're interested in hiring a remote intern.
It's often difficult to hire a remote intern as so much of the benefit from both parties comes from working alongside the other. That's hard to replicate remotely, and you often (but not always) end up as nothing more than less expensive labor.
As someone who worked as a remote intern one summer, I'd be interested in hearing why you think that.
It helped that the company had a very Campfire-heavy culture, but I don't think the experience would have been too much better for either side if I had been onsite.

#30deviantART!
We're looking for senior (team-lead) and regular developers. It's a PHP job, and we exclusively hire remote workers. We have about 16 developers at the moment, but we're expanding because we have a lot of projects on the back burner that we'd like to get started on. We won't be hiring you for any specific project; rather we'll be picking projects from the backlog once we have a sense for your strengths.
We only hire people who can do everything. You have to be able to write backend PHP code, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and SQL. We don't want to have people employed who we can't just point at any problem that comes up. People do tend to find their own niche, admittedly, and we're fine with you being better at some things than others.
...unless you're a great search developer, in which case we'll hire you anyway and lock you in a small room where you will never do anything but improve our search. I will warn you that, no matter how awesome you are, everyone we hire spends their first 90 days in the small-projects and bugfixes silo. We think that it's a great way to make sure that everyone knows the codebase, which is large and sprawling. After that point we start moving people onto project teams.
That codebase? It's 10 years old and written in PHP. This implies certain things. It predates proper object support in PHP, and almost every PHP framework. So we're running an in-house framework. Understand that you will have to deal with varying eras of code. Also understand that you may have to hold your nose and just fix a bug in an old component without taking the time to rewrite it to modern standards. :)
