Please state the job location and include the keywords REMOTE, INTERNS and/or VISA when the corresponding sort of candidate is welcome. When remote work is not an option, include ONSITE.

Please only post if you personally are part of the hiring company—no recruiting firms or job boards. Only one post per company. If it isn't a household name, explain what your company does.

Commenters: please don't reply to job posts to complain about something. It's off topic here.

Readers: please only email if you are personally interested in the job.

Your job application page. Do you seriously expect senior candidates will have/take the time to write multiple essays on deep topics just to submit an application?

I'm not currently looking for a job, but I have stock answers saved over the years that I combine and tweak for these sort of essay-based, open-ended questions. I might spend an hour composing and editing an application for a senior position.

I don't see it as a massive burden, rather an opportunity to share my viewpoints & expectations and see if there's enough common ground to investigate further.

My only complaint is when you invest this effort and then the company uses some automated BS to immediately filter out your application; calling you out Plural Sight - how hard would it be to indicate "remote US-only" on the posting?

Some time ago I was looking to apply to GitLab, from Mexico. But after looking at their compensation calculation method, the gross amount they offer for Engineers for this country would have been a pay-cut for me. Specially after considering that I would have needed to get insurance, pay utilities and other benefits that other startups offer in here.
