Knack | Software Engineer | Remote | REMOTE https://knack.com https://knack.com
Hmm, let's see, how can we scare off the typical HN reader. We're bootstrapped, so we have zero interest in Silicon Valley. We're a 100% remote company, but we have overlap time and synchronous communication, because those things matter. Our only investors are our customers, so everything revolves around them, not you. And we're not looking to sell or be acquired, because, shocker, we actually love what we're doing and who we're doing it with and want to keep doing it forever.
On the off chance there's a kindred spirit here, find out more at https://knack.com/work-at-knack https://knack.com/work-at-knack
- DoofusOfDeath 10y agoIt would be helpful if you could give some detail regarding what your company does and the skills for which you're looking.
- bgriggs1 10y agoOf course! Knack is a no-code platform that makes it easy to build business and workflow apps. We're looking for full-stack JavaScript engineers, Dev Ops, AWS Systems engineers, and front-end dev/designers.
- wale 10y agoSerious about the US citizens only note?
- bgriggs1 10y agoYes, but not for always. We just need to get our logistics in order for international. Would be happy to touch base when that happens if you apply!
- desdiv 10y agoAre you sure you don't mean "US residents only"? http://www.workplacefairness.org/immigration-status http://www.workplacefairness.org/immigration-status >I am a non-citizen with valid work papers. Can I be denied employment because my employer prefers to hire "Americans?" >Generally not. A “U.S. citizens-only” policy in hiring is illegal. An employer may require U.S. citizenship for a particular job only if it is required by federal, state, or local law, or by government contract.
- kahnpro 10y agoI'd also be interested in a remote job like this but I'm based in Canada.
- burkaman 10y agoI'm sure you meant this to be tongue-in-cheek, but it comes off as a very superior and passive aggressive attitude. I recommend a different approach if you're trying to get people interested in learning more.
- bgriggs1 10y agoWhat's passive about it? ;) If we can spark a connection with a potential fit we're fine turning off everyone else.
- gabriellep 10y agoUntil your company scales and you're trying to hire and no one wants to work for you. Hire a talent specialist, don't think short term, and read Work Rules :)
- sagichmal 10y agoTotally disagree. Don't project :)
