When I look at your signup form I can't really find my profession. I had this problem for a while now but maybe I should simply ask: I do industrial software engineering (in my case in automotive) that targets a mixture of embedded, desktop and server environments. This is done mostly in C/C++ with some Python, Shell and maybe Rust. What is the proper profession name for me? Is this a full stack engineer? Not likely from what I've seen but I really don't know

I agree and I'm not sure either. Maybe if you are interested I can modify your category in the backend and set it to a custom one and start sending your C/C++/Embedded development remote jobs.

  I just took a look. Nice looking site, by the way :-) I have the same issue at signup as the GP - I find myself rather unsure what categories make sense for me on your signup page. Similar to the GP, a mixture of embedded, servers, and webdev, except I wouldn't say I do just industrial. Feel free to look at my LinkedIn profile (the link is in my HN profile) if you think it could give you some ideas for additional categories on your signup page.

    Based on your skills, I would suggest choosing the Javascript and System/Devops categories.

      Thanks for that! Armed with the advice I'll take another look. Though I think that, on the face of it, completely leaves out my interest in compilers, programming languages and toolchains, and in kernels/devices/embedded systems, which are a big part of my work in practice. Maybe the "System" in "System/Devops" covers that, but those two are a peculiar match: I've might quite a few devops workers who consider software development to be slightly outside their knowledge, and something like C or C++ programming to be "very advanced". I find it peculiar that anyone can do devops without being a competent programmer but hey, it takes all sorts!

  It's fine, I'm not actively looking right now (I really like the website and your manual approach though). I'm just wondering wether non-web dev jobs don't exist anymore or are just out of fashion/not mentioned that often
