Sr Backend Engineer w/ Distributed Systems and Data Pipelining Experience

We're looking for someone to join the new Integrations team and help us build a "Zapier" for AdTech integrations. Must have experience building similar connector-type integration systems. Looking for a self-starter, capable of operating in a startup-like environment with fuzzy requirements.

Email me at Richard [at] mountain dot com with your resume. I'm the CTO - very serious about bringing someone onboard ASAP.

BONUS - we're also looking for a lead for this team.

Pretty cool. How can you ensure a Mastodon Instance isn’t running malicious code? Are there checks and balances somehow that ensure forked copies pass some sort of checksum?

Or is it just assumed that users who sign up for a Mastodon Instance should trust the Instance maintainer?
