Ardour.org | audio software developers/engineers | INTERN-ish | Remote

Ardour is a 23-year old FLOSS cross-platform native digital audio workstation. We have a tiny team of 2.5 developers and need/want to attract a few younger minds to the project. We currently cannot offer a full-time paid position, but we can pay for specific projects to be completed - projects that you'd need to identify, want to do, and ratify with the core team. Rates and scope of the work are variable. You will need to be sufficiently self-motivated to both decide what to do, and to actually implement it, though we will provide mentorship and guidance to the right people.

You'll need fairly solid C++ skills, and of course git, but more than that, the ability to confront a large, mature codebase and figure out how to work with it to accomplish whatever task you embark on. The current core developers are located near Santa Fe, Berlin and Nashville. All work is remote, timezone-independent and largely unstructured. Work is coordinated mostly via IRC.

Ultimately, we're looking for people who, in perhaps 5-10 years, may become the new core developers. Ardour currently brings in more than US$200k/yr and we hope to expand this over the next few years, possibly making a full time position possible at that time.

https://ardour.org/development.html will give some ideas about the technology and approaches we use. Contact paul@ardour.org for more information.

US Citizenship and Immigration Services (Contractor) | Full Stack Engineers | $100k - 180k, benefits | Full-Time | Remote | US ONLY US Citizenship and the ability to pass a government clearance (Public Trust) IS REQUIRED

We're a team in the US Government responsible for digitizing and enhancing all aspects of the workflows used to adjudicate refugees and asylees. We're an unusual government team in that we build iteratively without using a list of requirements. Our Product Managers use the Lean Agile methodology—their goal is to make small incremental changes quickly. Our Product Designers use Human Centered Design—they build interfaces and workflows based on direct input from users. Our developers use Extreme Programming—they practice pair programming and use test-driven development.

Many folks have been drawn to join our team out of a desire to work on something vividly mission-driven for a chapter of their career.

Our developers work with M1 MacBook Pros, Ruby on Rails, React, and TypeScript. Our designers use Sketch, Figma, and InVision. Our PMs use Jira, Miro, InVision and the Microsoft Suite. Structurally, our teams are given an atypically high degree of autonomy for the federal space.

Suitable candidates will be forwarded to our government contracting partners who will interview, hire, and place on our team.

We're hiring for:

Full-stack Engineers (Rails experience is required)

Salary range (100k-165k)

If you're interested in joining the team, email global-hiring@uscis.dhs.gov with your resume.

Having just gone through the naturalization process (N-400), I just want to say thanks for having a pretty good online experience.
jakearmitage · 3 years ago
Curious: have you filed that by yourself? Did you need a lawyer, or felt you needed one, during the process?
culi · 3 years ago
Not naturalization, but also recently went through the process and I have to agree the online experience was pretty great. Unfortunately it the department was still recovering from the massive backlog it grew during the Trump administration's attempt to monkeywrench so the rest of the experience was rather painful. But at least the website makes it easy to find the info you need...

Requiring Rails experience feels like a mistake. Ruby and Rails are easy to pick up for anyone who's done full-stack dev with Python or JavaScript. Most Java/C#/Go devs could as well.

I understand that you're hiring a contractor. I suppose you want someone who is going to be able to hit the ground running? Still, I'm not sure you're maximizing EV with this requirement. You're excluding many, many skilled devs who would be highly motivated to make a difference working on your team.

Learning a new language and framework, likely very similar to one or two they already know, is not considered a major hurdle in most of the private sector. Especially at this band of compensation.

How do you get around not having to list on USAJobs?

My friend in the federal gov found your application details very curious.

GGO · 3 years ago
Suitable candidates will be forwarded to our government contracting partners who will interview, hire, and place on our team.

It is not government hiring so no need for listing on USAJobs

culi · 3 years ago
Wait am I reading this right? You have to be citizen? I'm a permanent resident with full work authorization. I was under the impression that my right to work was protected by law...

Otherwise I have solid experience with all technologies listed except InVision

trhr · 3 years ago
Hey buddy, when you're on OUR side of the fake line, your "rights" are what we give ya.

You want the Full America package, you need to naturalize and renounce whichever terrorist government you swear allegiance to now.

deaddodo · 3 years ago
Even if that weren't a requirement, you aren't going to be able to to get clearance without citizenship:

> Non-U.S. citizens do not qualify for a security clearance. [1]

So it's a fairly moot point. That being said, there are plenty of positions that can disqualify you for non-citizenship for protected information. Healthcare, government contractors, etc. Your right to work in the US is protected, your right to a job is not.

Plenty of jobs (especially in government/defense) require full citizenship and security clearance.
fnordpiglet · 3 years ago
Not for certain government contractor roles. They can be required by the government to only employ citizens. Some roles can even preclude naturalized citizens if it’s extraordinarily sensitive due to their inexorable ties to a foreign government and people.

Friendly Captcha | Software Engineer (Full-stack) | REMOTE (domiciled within EU only) | PART-TIME or FULL-TIME | Office in Munich, Germany | https://friendlycaptcha.com

At Friendly Captcha we do one thing and we do it well: we protect websites from malicious actors and bots. We provide privacy-friendly and accessible anti-bot solutions that don’t annoy users with tasks like clicking fire hydrants.

We’re a fast-growing, profitable company. Our revenue mostly comes from medium to large European enterprise and governments.

A great fit would be someone who can contribute across the entire stack, and prefers to keep things simple (perhaps boring is the right word even?). Good knowledge of the web and browser APIs is definitely useful in this role. At our scale we are looking for generalists more than specialists - it's inevitable you will be wearing different hats.

Our engineering team is fully remote across Europe, we meet up once per quarter or so. You can work either 4 or 5 days per week, fully remote or from our Munich office.

Stack: Golang | Typescript | Clickhouse | Postgres | Redis | Python ML/data science stack

Turnstile (https://www.tryturnstile.com) | REMOTE (US/Canada) | Engineering | $155k-250k salary + equity

---

We're a small (16-person) team of repeat founders and seasoned operators building a usage-based revenue platform that helps SaaS companies price however they want. This is a tight-knit and senior crew — most of us have 10-25 years' experience, much of it together.

The last company we started, Second Measure (YC S15), scaled to 70+ people and tens of millions in revenue, received multiple “best places to work” awards, and was ultimately acquired by Bloomberg in a landmark deal.

We're looking for extraordinary builders to play a foundational role in a company designed for scale:

  - Frontend Technical Lead
  - Frontend Engineer
  - Backend Technical Lead (data)
  - Fullstack Engineer
  - others (opportunistic)
We're well-funded by top investors (led by First Round Capital), fully distributed, and known for building intentional, inclusive culture. We offer competitive global rates (SF salary + equity), equal pay by level, work flexibility (including a 4-day core schedule), and comprehensive, family-friendly benefits.

I'm Mike, one of the founders— if interested, apply here (https://tryturnstile.com/about) and mention this post.

kylemh · 3 years ago
Hey Mike.

I applied on the website, but didn't get the "Thanks for your application" automatic response I usually get from job applications. I then emailed "jobs@tryturnstile.com" to ask if my application went through, but I haven't gotten a reply there either.

I do not want to miss a chance to interview for this opportunity, so please let me know if something is amiss!

torgian · 3 years ago
For those wondering, I applied and got a reply from Mike, so they are receiving them.
tleunen · 3 years ago

Batelle | Software Engineer (Mobile / ReactNative, Full-Stack) | Full-time | Remote | UK | batelle.com

We tackle the problem that most new parents have: Getting their children to sleep. For children a lack of sleep has damaging long-term effects on their development, while for parents a lack of sleep not only impacts their overall health, but also their job, the relationship with their partner, and the bond with their child.

You’ll be part of a small team of highly motivated engineers, and will have an outsized impact on the future of our company. We're looking for engineers to:

* Build our user-facing mobile app (our customers are sleep-deprived parents, which means we put a large emphasis on UX)

* Build our automation infrastructure that drive interactions with customers (we heavily personalize the curriculum for each family)

Email me at chris @ batelle.com or apply here: https://apply.workable.com/batelle-inc/j/DDD8E6470F/
