Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks for posting that. Ruby or Go experience is required for backend positions.

I know when I interviewed 3 years ago, they wanted k8s experience as well. I found out that too was a hard requirement at the time, but only at the 3rd interview. Then again, it HAS been 3 years. Lots of things change, esp in tech.

K8s just for a backend dev job? Lol what?

Celo | San Francisco, Berlin, and Buenos Aires | Hiring Software Engineers, Mobile Engineers, and Cryptographers | All Levels | 100K - 200K + equity + coins (SF market) | FULLTIME, ONSITE, REMOTE, VISA | https://celo.org

Celo is an open-source permissionless platform that makes a Venmo-like (lightweight bank account) experience accessible to anyone with a mobile phone. Using a novel decentralized PKI, Celo lets you send cryptocurrency to phone numbers in a fully decentralized way. Additionally, Celo uses stable-value tokens pegged to fiat currencies, like the US Dollar, to minimize volatility. Anyone can participate in the network and earn Celo currency, even with just a budget Android smartphone (by sending verification text messages). To make sure that the platform is scalable and fast enough for day-to-day use, Celo uses a new Proof-of-Stake blockchain protocol with fast block times and one block finality, and has a novel light client protocol that uses SNARK-based proofs to sync with the chain quickly. For Celo's first product, we are working with organizations such as the UN World Food Programme and GiveDirectly on a social payments and cash transfer app.

Investors: Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Polychain, General Catalyst, Coinbase, Reid Hoffman and Jack Dorsey, among others.

Stack: Typescript, Solidity, Go, React Native, Python, Android, iOS, Rust, zk-SNARKs

Team backgrounds: Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Square, Zcash, QEDIT, MIT, Stanford

Your job application page. Do you seriously expect senior candidates will have/take the time to write multiple essays on deep topics just to submit an application?

It seems to be a popular trend with a lot of well known companies, oddly enough, many of whom on the face tout a cool, hip remote-only culture.

"Please take an hour to fawn all over us and how amazing it would be to have an arrangement where you trade your labor for piece of our profit. Thanks for that, we're moving in a different direction. Next."
