Interested in the iOS Engineer job, but didn't find that opening on your careers page. Also, it isn't mentioned if this is a remote worldwide opening? Or just US remote?

Does this mean remote anywhere within US? or anywhere in world?

  I was wondering the same, and saw that this was asked in previous Who is hiring threads, but a clear answer on what "Remote" means was never provided, so until that happens here's what I found: Seems like Europe is a "maybe" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35428210 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35428210 and Canada is a "yes" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35427290 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35427290 I also looked it up on LinkedIn. Out of 148 employees marked as working in engineering on LinkedIn, only 14 are based outside the US - and all 14 are in Canada. Some older comments in Who is hiring? Threads say "continental US preferred", and "US timezone preferred", but these comments are a few years old - although the data on LinkedIn seems to imply that this is still the case.

    Well, that's not "remote anywhere".

Why are you having people do some sort of CTF challenge to even apply?
- bevacqua 3y ago
  we get a lot of volume and this helps us quickly identify people that are a) strongly motivated and b) strong candidates
  - zerr 3y ago
    In some sense "strongly motivated" is "strongly desperate".
  - darkmatter123 3y ago
    But you also deter the strongest candidates because you are not considerate of their time which also gives the wrong impression of the culture at Ramp. Requiring a challenge that could take x amount of hours to complete on a very slim chance that person would get hired is very inconsiderate. There is no incentive. Not everyone who is looking for a job is straight out of college, unmarried and/or don't have other responsibilities. Just because a candidate chooses not to do this challenge doesn’t mean that person wouldn’t be “strongly motivated” or a “strong candidate” to work for you. That’s why proper interview processes exist to sort out those individuals. If you want to limit the amount of “volume”, I would suggest considering other methods or not hire at all. I would assume that the fact I see job postings everywhere for Ramp, including here, and the fact that you require this challenge, must mean you are getting little “volume” of applicants.

      plenty of us are married with kids, weird extrapolation. you spent more time debating this on hn than you could've spent on our challenge. i'll chalk it up as bad prioritization :)

That was a really fun challenge and helped me freshen up on some skills I forgot I had. Thanks for that.

I applied more than two months ago, did this test and submitted everything, but never got a response. That’s very underwhelming given the time I put into the application.
