I'm surprised that's the case, I'll ask hiring team to take a look based on your username. If it's the same username on github, then that'll help. Sorry that happened.

Hiring folks said they sent an email, maybe it went to spam folder?

I applied last month and still haven't heard back. Any idea how long it will take to sort through the pile?

The discoverers of ivermectin shared a Nobel Prize in 2015 [0] with a discoverer of a novel malaria treatment. Interesting coincidence.

I've been following Goodparty for some time. You guys are my dream company. Is there any potential for 0 YoE roles?
vnchr · a month ago
I suggest keeping an eye out. We have regular internships and positions for those out of college. For eng, we’re backfilling right now with a focus on seniors. But our general need is for contributors who can work with our stack. Our code is all public. AI code generation and skill with the frameworks we need is our general trajectory.

This looks interesting! Is there a way to reach out more directly? (It’s my understanding that regular submission systems as getting pummeled by bots..)
vnchr · a month ago
We’re making sure to look at every application, you should expect a reply. I’ll keep an eye on this thread for issues.

The bot army for remote jobs is very real…

Does anyone here have access to Grok 4 yet? If so, could you please try asking it to solve this basic word search problem [0] and share the results? It's just a simple grid of letters where you have to find the position of each word, the kind of problem that any young child can easily solve.

I gave our hiring team a heads up about this thread as a source for candidates. Could you drop a comment if you don’t get the human reply you’re expecting in a while? Really appreciate you taking an interest, and I hope that we’re showing respect to folks like you in our process.

no mention of any system-level strategy on the website. this may as well be another lobbying group.

pumping more candidates (even good ones) into a busted system is like increasing the flow rate into a cracked bucket. good metrics showing how much more is going in, with little attention paid to how much is flowing out.

i do appreciate the ambition to change things at a higher level, but there is nothing resembling significant disruption here.

my suggestion would be to identify a single, core point of systemic leverage that can actually make a demonstrable change to the way things operate (i.e. patch the bucket or, better still, replace it). for example, if you can get a sensible cap put on the amount of funds that can be given in support of a political campaign (yeah, i know, good luck with that) or can instigate a nationwide movement for proportional representation, or tie up the practice of gerrymandering, that might get momentum for a bigger step.

i'm sure there is lots i don't know about the role and potential for independents in the US (i live elsewhere), but the principle still holes that a problem must be solved by a higher level of complexity than the one that created it.

so i implore you, don't stop what you are doing, but try to find the next step up into systems thinking or, even better, meta-systematic strategy, which is actually what is needed for serious political reform.

there are, of course, many ways to shoot down my argument, and it is true to some extent that 'policy is personnel', but the level of systemic failure evidenced in recent years makes me think that such an initiative, while valuable in itself, cannot flourish in the way it needs to in order to be effective

That’s interesting feedback about there not being a system level strategy communicated on the site. I’ll pass that along. Thanks for pointing that out.

It’s very much a system level strategy, but more by way of democratized technology as opposed to head on disruption. I asked the same questions when I joined.

We want to provide powerful technology to candidates that are not going to be supported by the two main parties. And we have some other qualifications, like not taking corporate money. The more that independent candidates can succeed and win, the more we normalize the electorate expecting something that isn’t just to two main parties. In a way, it’s the electorate that we are trying to empower by supporting viable alternatives to the current system.

I’m glad there is interest in what we’re doing. I think we are on track too, making increasing impacts and I am excited about our growing team.
