Have a really bold mission and focus on autonomy and culture. Senior developers can work anywhere they want. Don’t make the job description about what they will do, but about the impact that will have. We are hiring Staff and Sr. Engineers at ClearAngel and it’s easier because our mission is so clear and empowering: build the YC 99% of online founders. The work we are doing will have ripple effects through the economy and through the lives of hundreds of founders. I spend 90% of the interview talking about that and asking them about what they want. Then I spend 10 mins on: oh yeah, we use Rails and Python, monolith moving to micro services etc. Focus on the mission and the culture you will be bringing them into. Oh and pay them top of market salary and give them meaningful options.
