Worldwide, REMOTE, Full time, $100k-$170k. Senior software engineer on https://www.draw.io

We're a small, all engineering team looking for a strong developer with experience building complex web apps in Vanilla JS.

You will need to be a strong starter and able to work effectively in a remote team (no offices here).

Everything you produce will be open source, https://www.github.com/jgraph/draw.io. We're 7 digit annual revenue from licensing the tech (much of this is profit) and have no external investment or debt.

There's no real hierarchy in the team, no performance reviews and the rest of the crap that bored commercial folks invent. But you will be expected to deliver high quality code, well tested with heavy attention to detail.

We don't do roadmaps, either, it's ready when it's ready. Timezone-wise, we're all central and Western Europe. The majority of your working day needs to overlap ours. We're not saying what time difference is the limit, but as you go past +/- 4 GMT, you'd need to be thinking about moving your working day hours to work here.

Apply with CV to jobs@jgraph.com

> Some of the locals are living their dream. Less stress than me, 10x happier. It's incredible.

I see this every day in West Africa. People spend huge time with their families, people build their own houses, and grow their own food. Sure, it can be hard manual labor, but certainly virtually everyone has money for a bottle of beer (or 10) every day.

We have a lot to learn from the "undeveloped world"

this is EXACTLY my goal here ....pushing myself into getting started... we CAN live comfortably without the gut wrenching feeling everyday ...for me it started with the garbage warrior... a house that provides all your energy, food, water, waste treatment... combine some of these excellent ideas with automation and ...your house takes care of you - only problem is - everyone doesn't have their own little chunk of dirt to build on...

I don't get it - how can it matter that you make tons of money if you are not satisfied with your life? (legit question)

...This question seams strange to me - I did some contracting work for a while (not AMAZING rates but around the $110-$150/hr range ...working 12-14hr days) ...this translates to a nice $$$ pay day - but unless your really tied to material things - it doesn't really fulfill anything - ...I'm back to working a 9-5 ...and MUCH happier, if i was a single - douchebag type dev then... ya BIG $$$ money is important to them - they love to pose next to thier tesla or porsche ...
