Passionate about joining SimpleX Chat team:
--
-
- already use SimpleX Chat to communicate with friends/family or participate in public SimpleX Chat groups. -
- passionate about privacy, security and communications. -
- interested to make contributions to SimpleX Chat open-source project in your free time before we hire you, as an extended test. -
- you founded (and probably failed) at least one startup, or spent more time working for yourself than being employed. -
- -
-
Exceptionally pragmatic, very fast and customer-focussed:
--
-
- care about the customers (aka users) and about the product we build much more than about the code quality, technology stack, etc. -
- believe that the simplest solution is the best. -
- 2-3x faster than the most competent people you worked with. -
- focus on solving only today's problems and resist engineering for the future (aka over-engineering) – see The Duct Tape Programmer and Why I Hate Frameworks. -
- do not suffer from "not invented here" syndrome, at the same time interested to design and implement protocols and systems from the ground up when appropriate. -
- -
-
Want to join a very early stage startup:
--
-
- high pace and intensity, longer hours. -
- a substantial part of the compensation is stock options. -
- full transparency - we believe that too much autonomy hurts learning and slows down progress. -
