Overleaf | Multiple Roles | Full-time | REMOTE | UK, Canada, US, Europe | Senior Full-Stack Engineer | Principal SRE |

Overleaf builds modern collaborative authoring tools for scientists — like Google Docs for Science. We have over 13 million registered users from around the world. Our primary product is an online, real-time collaborative editor for papers, theses, technical reports and other documents written in the LaTeX markup language. It’s used by around 500,000 people each day and hosts over 100 million projects.

We are currently looking for full-stack engineers to help improve our group-collaboration features and improve our rich-text editor to better support non-LaTeX users.

We are also looking for a Principal Site-Reliability Engineer to help us achieve faster delivrey by helping us with scaling, observability and continuous delivery.

Some reasons you'd enjoy working with us:

- Most of our code is open-source, and we're big fans of free software.

- We are based on the “Shape Up” development process, using an 8-week cycle to ensure regular delivery of improvements to the product.

- You’ll be working alongside a cross-functional team, including designers, product managers and developers, to help Overleaf become the go-to place for scientific writing. - Working hours can be flexible to your needs. Our core hours are 2pm–5pm UK time. Applicants must be based in the UK, EU, US or Canada.

- Remote is a first class citizen; even before the pandemic, all founders and employees worked remotely and this is part of our values: https://www.overleaf.com/about/values. We get everyone together (usually in London) a few times a year for valuable face to face time.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It would appear that it's making it less desireable even for natives to continue being settled.

Where are they going? The US is famously hard to get into for foreigners wanting to work, as is Australia really. Are they working in the EU, or nomading?

It's easy to talk in generalities without data. The data is - immigration to the UK is up by a lot, including tech workers.

However, those people are mostly going to work outside the startup bubble. The startup scene that a lot of us work in here is not doing so great. Funding is much harder to find, pickier, and more interested in revenue now than a story about the future. Frothy startups are imploding.

The result of this is that, if you look at the indeed jobs data, while the overall jobs market is pretty good, the tech jobs market is about 60% of what it was in 2019.

I imagine a lot of people who got into tech during the pandemic hiring bubble (go on furlough, do an online javascript bootcamp, get a 70K salary) are going back to what ever they got furloughed from.

So it is harder to get a job for everyone, but the relatively easy visas for tech workers and english working language mean that the flow of labour into the market continues to increase.

We can expect this to result in continued divergence between UK and US salaries. UK tech salaries remain about 2-4x Indian tech salaries for equivalent workers for instance, so the UK remains an attractive destination for earning money and building a nest egg back home.

InScope | Full-Time | Founding Engineer | San Francisco Bay Area, ONSITE

I'm Avy, CTO and co-founder at [InScope](https://inscopehq.com), where we're automating financial statements and audits. My co-founders, Mary and Kelsey, suffered many audits first-hand as finance and accounting leaders at high-growth tech companies like Flexport, Miro, Yelp, and Dropbox.

Investors and other stakeholders require audited financials from private companies that hit certain growth milestones, ensuring the health of the company before they can receive funding or raise debt. Today, finance teams prepare for their audits using Word, Excel, and a whole lot of human effort. We're seeking to change that with software.

We are participating in Better Tomorrow Ventures' fintech accelerator and are looking for an experienced founding engineer. The role will be fast-paced: You will set up systems from scratch, solve a mix of full stack product engineering problems, and build AI-infused data workflows. Our early prototypes are built with Python, Typescript, React, dbt, and DuckDB, but you'll help us choose our production stack.

We believe in distributed teams and will be flexible about remote work, but early-on we expect you to be based in San Francisco to allow for fast collaboration cycles.

Ride with GPS | Experienced Linux Systems Engineer | Within 2 hours of Portland OR | Full Time | https://ridewithgps.com/about We are the world's largest library of bike routes, and we enable cyclists to go on better rides, more often. We have a website and mobile apps that allow people to discover the best riding in their area, and get turn by turn navigation using either our mobile apps or the bike computer of thei…

Out of curiosity, how are you guys different from Trailforks or MTB Project?

Those are mountain bike specific, with mtb specific features. We are more general road/adventure riding, though you can of course use our service to plan a mountain bike ride. If you want to go to a trail system with a network of 1-5 mile trail sections, and just want to show up and link stuff together, mtb project and trailforks have a better feature set. If you want to go on a 30-40 mile mtb ride on a trail and get navigation (not dynamically linking together individual trail sections), then we work pretty well.
