Developing software appeals to those who love to solve puzzles and apply their brain power -- and also to those, in our experience, who like working from home in their pyjamas.
If you're looking to join an exciting industry (databases-as-a-service), we have a tremendous challenge for you and a terrific team willing and able to support you through it.
For those that have coding experience but might be looking to try something new, we have a "Technical Content Creator" position - blog about, speak about, and mentor our community about different databases and programming languages.
Here are a few things that's great about our team:
* Work from anywhere! As long as you're legally able to work in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom.
* Self-managing, open culture.
* Ruby/Go.
* Fantastic salary and benefits.
* Join a thriving, respectful and family-like team.
* Fair and objective hiring.
Our hiring process is nifty. We request a work-sample upfront that closely resembles the work you'd be doing within your role. Once you submit, your answers are anonymized then graded by 3 different people following pre-defined criteria. We want to know, objectively, who is going to both enjoy and crush the work.
We have three positions open for candidates:
* Platform Engineer (More back-end)
* Application Developer (More front-end)
* Technical Content Creator ('Developer Advocacy' type of role)
For the full postings checkout https://compose.io/jobs or email jobs+hn@compose.io with a quick tale about a database you loved, or didn't love.
If you have any questions, we'll gladly answer whatever you'd like. Everyone gets a personal response and a fair, respectful 'go' at the process.
