Pex | Senior JavaScript Engineer | Downtown, Los Angeles | REMOTE or ONSITE, FULL-TIME | Salary $110k+ & Equity | https://pex.com https://pex.com Pex is an audio-visual reverse search engine, that uses the content as a base for its search (think of Google Image Search). We operate at a pretty large scale with some fun stack (https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2018/06/22/video-search-with-rasty-turek/ https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2018/06/22/video-search...). We're looking for senior front-end developers experienced with React. For remote, we have strong preference for US timezone. For onsite, we offer 30 days of paid vacation, fully covered health benefits (gold/platinum plan), commuter benefits, cover costs of visiting conferences, and more. If you want to learn more, reach out directly to me at r@pex.com

> For remote, we have strong preference for US timezone. For onsite, we offer 30 days of paid vacation, fully covered health benefits (gold/platinum plan), commuter benefits, cover costs of visiting conferences, and more. Does this imply that remote employees do not get any of these benefits? Or am I just reading it incorrectly?

  We do offer some of the same things, mostly around vacation time. The rest is just simple not possible. We're trying to see if we can do more direct hiring, but for that we need to grow the remote team more for it to make sense.

    Interesting - could you elaborate on why it's "not possible"? Sounds like you want to access to a broader pool of talented candidates without compensating them fairly. At least that's the impression I'm getting. If you are open to remote _contractors_ I suggest being more explicit about that.

      Why would you think we're not compensating them fairly? There are many challenges to hire people in other states, even more in other countries. Too much for a small company to deal with.
