| We hire remote software engineers to work with Python/Django/Vue. We believe talent can be anywhere. Many companies will ask you to invest a couple hours of your life writing some toy project as a code exercise (often unpaid). Instead, we ask you to pick any open issue in an opensource project and contribute a few hours to fix it (we suggest links to a dozen issue lists filtered by "easy for beginners" tags) - we call it "social code exercise". Of course if you have such contributions already you can skip this step. We will analyse your github profile and give extra points to: * any PR to projects in our technology stack * good online citizenship * constructive, reproducible bug reports * well written documentation * test coverage We penalize: * unprofessional, disrespectful or toxic behavior while interacting with the community * non-constructive comments and answers The rationale is that while pushing the envelope with an opensource stack we often have to report (and fix) bugs or implement lacking features. Projects like Python and Django have a high bar for accepting contributions so any candidate able to land a PR is capable of basic communication in English, writing acceptable code, documentation and tests. |
