News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

And we went from spam to scam. Whoa, that was quick!
Thanks for your input, need to bring them on the list then.
Update: So actually they're mentioning profit sharing in their job ads:

(`We offer exceptional benefits - e.g., Fantastic health care, Unlimited PTO, 100% 401k match, profit-sharing, and exceptional healthcare plans.`).

I'll update the label as I'm treating both profit sharing, and equity sharing as the same things.

Good one, thanks. Will add tonight.
It's totally subjective
One man's trash is another man's treasure.

No obligation to subscribe, though. One can always unsubscribe, too.

The market is pretty tough nowadays, so it might be some of them stopped hiring in Europe.

Anyways, will re-check them one-by-one tonight. Thanks!

Whenever I was offered to work through Remote.com or Deel it was forcing me to be employed in their local branch as an employee. Which made the whole thing more complicated (higher taxation than on the direct B2B contract, etc.) and not so lucrative anymore.
The repo contains just a list of the companies with useful details about them.

Ofc, if you want to get the jobs straight into your inbox, you have to subscribe. These job notifications go beyond that list so it's worth it, IMO.

Thanks, noted down! The list does have a few of the consultancies in there. I'll include thoughtbot as well.

The biggest problem with the agencies I see, is about keeping up with their tech stack.

No worries, thanks for your input!
Thanks, will double-check
Technically speaking it's just a bunch of links, always direct links to the specific roles on the companies' job boards.

Few example positions from the last DevOps issue:

Senior Site Reliability Engineer (at Atlassian)

Senior Solutions Consultant (at Cloudera)

Senior Solutions Architect - DV Cleared (at Cloudera)

Senior Solutions Architect (at Cloudera)

Senior Site Reliability Engineer (at commercetools)

Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) (at Cribl)

Senior Engineer (Tech Lead, OSS Committer) (at Eukarya)

Site Reliability Engineer (at Expensify)

etc.

And it's not 100+ jobs in a single message, ofc. Every stack is sent separately. The number of 100+ is what you got when you filter out US-only / on-site positions.

Yep, this is also one of the conditions.

Forgot about that one you've mentioned though. Another one to get rid of.

Have to admit, it's sometimes hard to check. One of the companies I was interviewing with, pretended to make sports software. Later on it was just pure gambling.

Fair point, I wanted to avoid big tech. Forgot about that one, TBH
True, not every company is hiring actively at the moment. But having basic info (tech stack, etc.) you're able to take a chance anyways.

BTW Feel free to subscribe to the job alerts. Every email is going beyond that companies list. Sending the next batch tomorrow.

Is it a product company?
I think it all boils down to having the remote working mode treated as a first-class citizen.
Hey, the job market seems to be still pretty tough. I was in search myself a couple of months ago so I know how it feels.

To help myself out back then, I created a small tool. It sends out only decent remote jobs available for Europeans.

Pick your stack, enter the email and you'll get one weekly message with the carefully chosen jobs. Quality over the quantity.

I'll send the next batch of jobs in a couple of hours from now, feel free to check it out.

If you don't want to subscribe, you can browse around the companies listed there, you can also pick your favorite tech stack.

Hey there! I'm looking for the next project. I've got 6+ years of experience working with start-ups of different sizes (early stage, bootstrapped, VC-backed). Big fan of the iterative, step-by-step approach. Introduced good practices & brought calmness to the teams I was part of.

Typically, I wear multiple different hats. Working mostly on the back-end side of things but I'm capable of jumping into other areas if needed (infra / front-end / hybrid mobile).

Could you show us your products please?

Maybe other indie hackers are not the best audience for your stuff, and you're just digging in the wrong place.

European Remote is an alternative for most of the US-centric directories out there. It's focused on the details essential for the tech crowd, without the fluff. The aim is to help you to find a new team directly, without middlemen.

Also, I'm launching the job alerts feature soon, feel free to subscribe!

Central European fellow here. If you have a few years of experience under your belt and a tolerable English level there's no point you should continue working like this.

Consider going remote for foreign companies, you can easily double that rate.
