The HN's Who's hiring thread is pretty good - I found a remote job twice there, and I'm not even in the US.
- markbnj 10y agoAgreed, got my current remote gig through an HN "Who's Hiring" post.
- ishansharma 10y agoSince it's a throwaway, mind telling a bit more? I'm not from US too and it's hard to find remote jobs there. Are you in one of the nearby countries or Europe?
- taway_1212 10y agoEastern Europe. One job was on East Coast, which is not that terrible in terms of timezone differences. The other one was in SF, which I honestly though would be too much of a stretch (but applied anyway) - it turns out they found a way to make a tightly-knight coding team across nine timezones work reasonably well. As for finding remote jobs, I think it's good to be experienced with something niche or in very high demand like Clojure, Haskel, Spark etc. Companies can easily find locals to work on popular technologies, but for the uncommon or hot ones, they sometimes need to bite the bullet and build a remote team - even if they would prefer not to.
- zerr 10y agoWhat stack?
- taway_1212 10y agoDifferent each time: once it was a niche AI/ML developer job with little stack preference, once Node and once Scala. It's three jobs (not two) because when writing the top post I actually forgot about one job that I've found through Who's hiring :)
