  • Hostaway: Engineering Technical Lead – Node.js – EMEA

    Headquarters: Finland

    URL: https://hostaway.com

    NOTE: This is a FULLY remote role, but the candidate must be within the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) region in order to collaborate with their team, peers, and customers. You do not have to be in the specific country or city shown in this listing, but please do not apply if you are not physically based within the EMEA region.

    Please note that although this position offers the flexibility of remote work, it requires a full-time commitment to supporting Hostaway exclusively

    Hostaway is a SaaS startup that is transforming the vacation rental industry. With innovative solutions and partnerships with giants like Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking, we’re taking on the competition and winning. Leveraging our customer-centric core values, we consistently deliver results that encourage growth, learning, and innovation for our team, our customers, and the industry.


    As a profitable and growing company, this role is necessitated by our continued growth

    About the role

    Tech Leads within Hostaway are in a pivotal technical leadership role to ensure their cross-functional team builds the right solutions that solve customer problems in a way that is secure, extensible and scalable for the future. Tech Leads are expected to govern the technical maturity for their respective domain, having a clear view of the architectural challenges and how to remediate them over time.
    Having a close relationship with the domain’s Product Manager is key. While the PM brings the what, you are their peer responsible for bringing the how. Digging deep into the business problem the PM is trying to solve is key to be able to make the right decisions on how to shape the technical solution for the team to work on.
    You are supported by an Engineering Manager who will help guide the day-to-day delivery aspects of the team, ensuring we break work down into tangible small tasks, focus on a sustainable but high-performing delivery cadence, and ensure we have the right candidates in place.

    Requirements: 

    • 6+ years of experience in SaaS software development, with at least 2 years in a leadership role.
    • Expert-level proficiency in NodeJS, a strong preference for TypeScript
    • Strong understanding of relational databases (like MySQL or PostgreSQL)
    • Familiarity with transitioning event-driven service oriented architectures by applying Domain Driven Design (DDD) principles
    • Event driven messaging experience (i.e. Kafka, Kinesis).
    • Strong experience with unit testing (using jest or similar)
    • Experience with Agile methodologies and CI/CD practices.
    • Ability to balance technical debt with delivery of new features in a fast-paced environment.
    Nice to have skills for this role:
    • Experience with NoSQL databases (like DynamoDB or MongoDB)
    • Experience building cloud native apps, leveraging AWS managed services
    • Having used PHP in the past or not afraid to dive into some of the current PHP business logic
    • Applying, coaching and mentoring Extreme Programming (XP) agile practices
    • Front-end experience with React and micro-frontends
    • Knowledge of containerisation technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and DevSecOps practices
    An Average Day for a Tech Lead
    • 10:00-10:15 Quick team stand-up, one of your team members seem to be working on a problem you worked on before, and offer to pair with them after the stand-up to support
    • 10:30-14:00 Pairing with one of your team members to work on a complex scalability issue together and grabbing a quick bite to re-fuel those pesky braincells in-between coding sessions!
    • 14:00-15:00 Doing a design session with the Product Manager and UX designer for a large upcoming feature that the team should pick up next week. You ask a lot of questions to drill down to the problem we are trying to solve, and suggest some easier solutions that require less effort for the team.
    • 15:00-16:00 The design session triggered some thoughts about other areas of the system that will be affected. You’re doing a quick dive in the affected areas of the code and find some technical debt that might affect the system’s scalability or reliability. You create a brief Jira ticket and tag the Product Manager to help get it prioritised and to ensure it is not forgotten. You also ping the ticket to one of the other domains’ tech leads, as you recall them mentioning a similar problem existing in another domain team.
    • 16:00-16:30 Quick catch-up with the Engineering Manager on the teams delivery reliability and how you can help keep Work in Progress (WIP) and Pull Request (PR) review time to a minimum
    • 16:30-18:00 Talking about PR’s, there are actually still a few open. You take the last part of the day to review your teams PRs. There are some great solutions offered, but one of the junior engineers introduced some code that is difficult to maintain and is lacking unit tests. You jump on a quick call with them to explain the issues and why it matters.

    What we offer
    • Competitive Compensation: We offer competitive pay based on market rates in the country of the applicant.
    • 100% Remote: Enjoy the freedom to work from anywhere within your country of residence—be it a co-working space, your home office, or even your dining room table. The choice is yours. Just don’t ask to work in our office (we don’t have one).
    • Equity: Every role in our company comes with valuable stock options in a fast-growing and profitable company. This ensures we all share in the company’s success.
    • Values-Driven Leadership: Our Core Values are not just words we’ve written to make us feel good. We leverage them daily when making strategic and tactical decisions.
    • Professional Growth: Our rapid growth offers unparalleled learning and development opportunities, along with a multitude of career advancement opportunities.
    • Annual Paid Leave: The specific amounts vary by country and are aligned with country and/or contract-specific norms.
    • Geographic Specific Benefits: As an international employer, we offer different country-specific benefits such as Health Insurance and Pensions in countries where these perks are customary. The specifics depend on the country of the applicant.
    • Dynamic Team Culture: As a global company with team members in over 40 countries, our diverse and international culture fuels our innovation and creativity, providing a key pillar to our success (and making it a lot of fun to work here).

  • Spiralyze: Project/Product Manager

    Headquarters: Atlanta, Georgia

    URL: https://www.spiralyze.com/

    Spiralyze is a web A/B testing company headquartered in the United States with major clients including Pepsi, Netflix, General Electric, CrowdStrike, NBA, Okta, and Workday, and American Express Travel. We use design and experimentation to help our clients generate more revenue from their website traffic.  We have 180 employees and are the biggest player in a high-growth industry.
    We do deep research into our clients and their customers and figure out what is stopping customers from buying or filling in a lead form. We turn those insights into designs. We code those designs into challenger web pages. Then, we A/B test our pages against the original to measure impact.
    The position is remote.  We have a track record of promoting high performers into leadership positions irrespective of geography.  50% of our leadership team joined the company as entry level remote employees.
      
    Project Manager is a client-facing role that has three main responsibilities:
    Coordination. Running big A/B tests requires teams of 5-10 people (researchers, strategists, designers, copywriters, developers, QA, analysts, clients, etc). You coordinate the teams and keep pushing the project forward.
    Strategy & Planning. You build the roadmap for the next 10 – 20 tests. You sell the vision to clients and communicate progress in weekly client meetings.
    Energy. As the point of contact for the client and internal teams, you get everyone excited about testing and bring the energy!
     
    We don’t expect AB Testing experience – we can train you. We are looking for:
    1) Extreme diligence and organization. You make the trains run on time!
    2) Experience in project management, preferably in a software or agency setting.
    3) Excellent communication skills. Your bias is over-communication and reaching out proactively to clients to keep projects moving forward.
    4) Curiosity about technology and how things work.
    5) Ability to work full-time Monday through Friday, overlapping with our core working hours of 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (New York).
    We offer:
    1) Promotion. You’ll have the opportunity to grow, share your knowledge, and rise within the company.
    2) Tech reimbursement. Need a new computer? New software? We will help!
    3) Education. You’ll have the opportunity to level up your skills with company-sponsored work-related courses and training. 
    4) Paid leave. 20 days of paid vacation plus holidays.
    For people interested in technology and psychology and curious about what actually works to motivate people to take action, this will be the most interesting job you will ever have.

  • Art+Logic: Senior Python Web Developer

    Headquarters: Pasadena, CA, USA

    URL: https://artandlogic.com

    Art+Logic is looking for Senior Python Web Developers to work with us on interesting custom software projects. We’ve been an all-remote company since day one—more than thirty years ago.

    Our ideal developers thrive in the environment of variety and challenge that is inherent to custom software development, working with us in a long-term relationship over many projects for numerous clients.
    The skills and needs for each project we tackle can vary widely; this goes beyond just the languages and technologies we use, and extends to the industries and problem domains we work in. We love working with developers who are excited to learn and take on new challenges. You can expect to grow in your strength and your versatility at Art+Logic and we want to help you do so.

    We work completely remote. We expect you to be able to work with minimal supervision and comfortably with small teams of 3-8 people. You won’t have someone looking over your shoulder, so you’ll need to be communicative and reliable, and hold yourself accountable.
    We value work/life balance, and our projects keep meetings to a minimum to ensure everyone has the flexibility to work during the times that work best for them. We are looking for contract developers able to commit between 30 and 40 hours a week most weeks, and we never expect our developers to consistently work more than 40 hours in a given week.
    Art+Logic is run by humans, who work and create using technology. Things can go wrong and we need to respond to the unexpected by being kind, considerate, fair, flexible, and calm. We treat our clients and peers as respectfully as we ourselves would like to be treated.

    This position pays between $30-$40 USD/hour.

    Qualifications
    • 5+ years of Python experience in a web development context.
    • 5+ years of JavaScript front-end development.
    • Deep knowledge of Python 3.
    • Experience with Vue.js or React.
    • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
    • Experience with Django and SQLAlchemy is a plus.
    • Experience with AWS and AWS lambda is a plus.

    Relationship Details:
    We are looking for Contractors (1099) for long term open-ended relationships, which includes company to company positions. Work hours are flexible; requiring reasonable overlap with normal US working hours to support team communications, and not just nights and weekends. 
    Our rates range from $30-$40 USD/hour. 
    We are ONLY looking for people in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Philippines.
    It’s important to us in the hiring process that we allow developers to demonstrate their abilities by actually developing something, because a list of previous employers or educational background aren’t always indicators of what someone can do. All applicants are asked to submit a solution to a programming challenge that emulates a task we might assign on a project. 
    We have an asynchronous Recruiting Process which means we are always looking for great programmers that we’re excited to work with, without an immediate, specific position or opening in mind. Successful completion of our challenge and process leads to us looking for an opportunity for us to begin working together. This also makes our Recruiting Process very flexible, though we are not usually a good fit for those needing immediate work.

  • IxDF – Interaction Design Foundation: Motion Graphics Designer, Video Editor and Visual Storyteller

    Headquarters: Denmark

    URL: https://www.interaction-design.org/


    Are you a passionate visual storyteller with a love for design? Do you want to help craft educational design videos that are every bit as high-end as the productions National Geographic create on history, science and culture?  
    Do you want to showcase your skills in every frame while conveying powerful ideas to thousands of minds daily? That’s a big audience, which is why we’re looking for serious talent. 
    We’re the global leader in online design education. That’s because the world’s leading experts create our educational content and because we’re specialized in—and utterly dedicated to—design, and only design. We’re entering our third decade with over 175,000 graduates. We now need an amazing Motion Graphics Designer, Video Editor and Visual Storyteller to help each individual along their learning journey. 
    Visual storytelling is a huge part of our winning formula: to reach our members on that magic level where they’re captivated to complete their course while feeling utterly inspired every step of the way.  
    You will, therefore, become an essential part of our video production team, someone who is making a direct impact on not only the growth and reputation of our organization but also the whole world of design education and beyond! 

    So, what do our videos look like? Here’s an example of a video we created. We went to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and recorded a series of b-rolls. Then, we edited and added animations to explain how AI-generated art has evolved into a dynamic force in the creative landscape. As you can see, educational videos are no longer “talking heads with slides.”  

    This next video shows you what our educational videos featuring experts look and feel like. It shows how much emphasis and effort we put into animations, footage and on-screen text to give the ultimate learning experience.  
    Check out this third video, which is a promotional video we created to motivate more people to learn design.  
    So, if after seeing these videos you think, “I could do better than that!”, then we’d love to hear from you! 

    What you’ll be doing 

    You’ll be working closely with our UX/UI design experts, founders, video editors, course producers and other team members to make the most inspiring and engaging videos for our ever-growing catalog of courses.  

    Videos are the best way to educate, and we have the best instructors: people who live and breathe UX/UI design and many associated subjects. You’ll feel energized as you take your skillset to an even higher level among an ambitious and supportive team.  

    Ahead of you is a rewarding and enriching journey in which you’ll make an impact as you:  
    • Take on the job role as a Motion Graphics Designer, Video Editor and Visual Storyteller. 
    • Develop cutting-edge UX/UI design courses and open-source content that empower designers around the world. 
    • Help push the quality of our educational materials to new heights—exceeding the very best in both industry and academia.  
    • Use your skills to help your colleagues grow and become better motion graphics designers and video editors; just as they’ll help you. 
    • Edit, export and produce content to the highest standard. 
    • Use your motion graphics design and visual storytelling skills to create engaging visual content (both static and dynamic) that communicates key learning take aways, and helps engage and attract an audience across our social media channels.  
    • Create social media content such as carousels, illustrations, animations and short video snippets for our social media channels. 
    • Create didactical educational visual media to illustrate written content and articles. 
    • Create and adapt videos, illustrations and animations for use on our website and advertising campaigns. 
    • Collaborate closely with our Editorial team as well as our Growth and Social Media teams. 
    • Support our social media team and bring your expertise to all dimensions of our content, marketing and communication. 
    • Find creative solutions to make content work across different platforms. 
    • Use your expertise to create inspiring Master Class videos featuring leaders in design. 
    If you want even more opportunities to show the world what you can do, you’re in luck! If you’re passionate enough to do the hard work of learning and growing—you’ll find virtually limitless opportunities with us. 

    About You 

    • You’ve worked as a professional full-time video editor for at least 5 years.  
    • You can create engaging motion graphics and animations that intelligently and beautifully enhance your video production. 
    • You have solid practical experience working with Adobe Premiere Pro to edit raw videos and do basic post-production work, and in Adobe After Effects for advanced editing and animating motion graphics.  
    • You’re fluent in working with imported or exported raster and vector images using tools such as Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. You know how to use your assets from Adobe Illustrator in Adobe After Effects and vice versa.  
    • You can push video learning ‘one step beyond’, so your edits, animations, on-screen text and other visual effects work in perfect harmony to complement each instructor’s material and inspire the viewer to continue learning.  
    • You use the latest AI tools to perfect and improve not only the quality of videos, but the workflow and efficiency of delivering projects. 
    • You’re a team player with proven collaborative experience on team projects. At the same time, you can work independently and deliver results because you’re intrinsically motivated. 
    • You’re attentive to details in everything you do. 
    • You understand the importance of a return on investment. You know how to find the balance between the efforts you put into a project and the results you get from it. 
    • You can place an entire, self-contained learning reality right in the mind of each viewer so all they have to do is watch and learn. 
    • You have a love affair with the world of storytelling in film and a desire to impress viewers through every frame of the journey. 
    • You know visual storytelling is more than the sum of its parts, and the overall effect is vital. 
    • Catching glitches and other imperfections such as lighting and audio-related issues come easy to you. You cringe at the idea of even the smallest rough edge creeping in to ruin a frame or make a transition jerky. 
    • You love an environment of striving—and stretching—for perfection. You’re supremely competent and confident in working independently to produce the best material with a deep appreciation and clear vision of what a perfect product should be. 
    • You “always name your layers.” You organize the files and optimize project structures in such a way that’s easy for you and your colleagues to collaborate and iterate. 
    • You appreciate when your colleagues spot those odd bits that can flaw an otherwise-perfect result. 
    • You speak and write English with close-to-native fluency.

    You get bonus points if you … 
    • have experience creating educational videos and online courses;  
    • have experience creating social media assets for LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and TikTok;  
    • have experience as a team lead;

    What can we offer? 

    • A co-founder and CEO who will work closely with you and your team; she understands your challenges and triumphs because she used to plan, shoot and edit all of IxDF’s videos herself during IxDF’s initial growth phase. She maintains a passion for video creation and even recently filmed at MoMA for our AI-art video. 
    • A full-time position, within a fully remote organization. Daily video-based collaboration with your colleagues from elsewhere on the planet, and you’ll get to meet up on team trips every year.  
    • A work culture with no fluffy titles, political agendas and corporate drama. Your colleagues value your warm character, your strong work ethic, and the results you deliver. Junior or senior, if you embody old-school virtues of always striving to deliver results, learn and become better every day, you’ll thrive at the IxDF.  
    • A daily mission to help impact, empower, and enrich the lives of millions of people by creating affordable high-end design education to everyone across the planet. It’ll be yours too. 
    • A company where the distance between idea and execution is minimal. We’re a highly agile organisation with zero bureaucracy or corporate politics – and with exceptional order and efficiency.  
    • A company culture where passion meets high performance and excellence. To help us improve the world (and yourself in the process), you’ll need grit, strong work ethic, long-term thinking, and self-discipline.  
    • We thrive because we have a hands-on attitude and a bias towards action as opposed to fluff-filled, unrealistic strategies. You’ll need crisp execution skills yourself and the ability to impress your colleagues with concrete results, just like they’ll impress you.
