I'm hiring a Staff Software Engineer to work on my team, - we haven't had many applicants, so I want to get the word out.

If you like my toots abt software & business, this is also what I bring to the work I do for my team. My peer managers and I are all trying to make this place one that we would have wanted to work in when we were coming up.

It's posted as "hybrid", but our team operates remote-first, & so does much of the dept. *US only.* Check it out, please boost!

@cammerman My actual resume is a dumpsterfire and needs lots of editing. But, I'd love to work in an org like this.

@mdarweesh Sounds like you should clean it up and apply. :)

Being a big company, all applications have to go through our recruiting team, which the LinkedIn "easy apply" button will do.

@mdarweesh

there's no salary posted that I can see, that might help the number of applicants

@ant @cammerman @mdarweesh seconded! Even though pay is (IMO) one of the least interesting aspects of a JD, it's one of the first things I look for. Obviously the actual number tells me whether it's worth spending time on, but more importantly, the fact that it's there is also a useful signal: Is it a single number? If it's a range, is the range ludicrously wide? If so, is there an explanation? And so on... :)

Fully understand. And not publishing one likely excludes us from hiring in certain locations as well. Unfortunately, it's not something I have the power to do anything about in this case.

@cammerman @ant @mdarweesh ...which is also a valuable signal: that an org has become so bureaucratic that nobody is empowered to make sensible changes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@cammerman @ant @mdarweesh ...which sounds judgmental (and it kind of is), but I should clarify that it's a personal one. I see a tradeoff between "we're only 50 people; we can organize ourselves in whatever way makes sense" and "we're 5,000 people; we can take on projects your dinky operation couldn't dream of, but There Will Be A Change Control Process to manage it."

I lean towards the former, and I'm glad I know that about myself. You do you. :)

@geeksam @ant @mdarweesh Yep, we are a 10,000 person company and I just manage a puny 7 people.
