Roughly $1400 a day assuming max rate
- codegeek 5y ago
  "Up to" is the keyword here. Max hourly rate comes out to be $175/Hour but since it is upto, I assume they could get someone who may want to settle for less.

    Normally that could be true but the vibe I’m seeing here is that they’re trying to find the highest quality for that price. Obviously priorities can change with whim, but as someone who does a lot of RfP’s this looks like they’re very comfortable with the price they’ve set.

      From what I know, the PSF intend to pay $175/hr, the “up to” part is about the total hours billed.

        My apologies. Thank you for the clarification. 画蛇添足 :-|

Please apply! From personal experience: the PyPI maintainers are some of the kindest and most competent engineers I've ever worked with, and everything you'll do on it directly improves the lives of hundreds of thousands of engineers in the Python ecosystem. It's very rewarding work.

Shouldn't this be a job post?
- HWR_14 5y ago
  It looks like it's a 3 month commitment at most. Or it might be given special treatment because it's a non-profit?

  The RFP format automatically excludes the bottom 90% of commodity applicants

First thought on my mind: some nation state actors (or similar) are gonna really code in some vulnerabilities to be able to own pypi

  You made me laugh - but it is a good idea.

"We hope to hire two contractors" ... one front end and one back end, to develop "organization accounts". It seems like a goal for a very specific target audience - the corporate user (which may be many readers here on HN).

Github? That's a nonstarter

  Wrong thread?

    No it's not. This job ad requires github. This should not be acceptable. > This Request For Proposal document may be updated to reflect things that we learn during the process. The canonical version and history is available here. (github link)

> We hope to provide organization accounts as a paid service to companies and complimentary access to community projects. Interesting. As far as I can remember, this is PSF’s first foray into a paid service?

Great, maybe they can re-enable search.
