Hey, a friendly note to remote job seekers There are few automated aggregation sites available to curate the jobs posted in this thread but I want to take the aggregation one step further and wanted to provide the good quality remote jobs by handpicking them. I’m going to search, screen, verify and tag all the remote jobs posted in this thread. So it can save you time, energy, and frustration – and hopefully, help yo…

The site looks great, but when I clicked the "Start Trial" button and scanned through the categories, there were literally none that applied to me (non-web backend/distributed systems, Rust/C++/Java). That gives me the impression that this site isn't really meant for people like me.

Also, the first "remote" job listing I clicked on is explicitly onsite-only (as you can verify from their posting in this thread): https://www.factual.com/company/careers/?gh_jid=106190

I do disagree with the rule, but I fear you're having a knee-jerk reaction either to me or to any criticism of the rule and thereby missing my point, which I don't believe you've addressed at all: If you can explain in a short, simple sentence what the broader purpose of the rule is, then do so in the rule itself. Brevity may be the soul of wit but, but I expect a higher standard than rule wittiness from HN. The http…

I think you might have a mistaken idea of how precise such guidelines can be. There are always border cases and exceptions. Trying to nail them down completely makes them complicated, which only generates more border cases and exceptions, not to mention the literalistic sort of objections that only consume time and generate even more objections. That's why both the HN guidelines and that Who Is Hiring rule are writte…

No, I'm not mistaken about precision because I never brought it up. It's a strawman solely of your own construction. (I, instead, suggested a much less precise rule, prohibiting all replies/discussion.)

You're implying that the rule here is written like the guidelines, but it isn't.

The guidelines provide some kind of explanation, reasoning, or purpose adjacent to a rule.

The "try explain better, on a case by case basis" doesn't actually succeed, only the same reason, in, perhaps, a different word order.

Surely you don't need that kind of repetition of explanation of purpose for the guidelines, since it's already there to be read. Why such resistance to doing that here, too?

I always Ctrl+f for IR/License in these threads, the result got me pretty excited to check for remote. Bummer, but seems like a very interesting opportunity.

Please e-mail me your CV (address in original post). We may consider exceptional candidates for remote work.

Arg, I meant Lucene.

Not exceptional in any way, but thanks for letting me know!

San Francisco Digital Services | Drupal engineer, product strategist, UX designers | San Francisco, CA onsite only

San Francisco Digital Services is a team embedded within the City and County of San Francisco. We're not an IT consultancy - we partner with City departments to make their services easier to use for all residents.

Right now we're 29 developers, designers, and product managers. All of us are fulltime City employees, which means government benefits! We work in an agile fashion, and tackle wicked problems like affordable housing and permitting. (Yes, we know there is no affordable housing in SF, nor is it easy to get a permit. Join us in making it better!)

Right now we're hiring for 4 positions, all of which require at least 2 years of experience:

- Drupal engineer to make it easier for residents to find services they need on SF.gov

- Senior product strategist to help our permitting teams align to a common initiative

- Senior UX designer to work on design components across projects

- Visual designer to help bring together all the City department branding (such as SFO, MTA, and the SF Zoo) under one visual umbrella

Apply for all jobs at https://digitalservices.sfgov.org/joinus/

Mention you saw this post on Hacker News when you do. Thanks!
