Are you willing to relocate to Central Virginia or to Salt Lake city Utah? We can't seem to find good backend SWE candidates, especially senior ones.

My email is in my bio if you want to apply, also, I could give you some actionable feedback on your resume based on what I'm seeing a lot lately.

Do you accept full time remote candidates? Frankly, you’re not going to lure away Bay Area SWEs with VA or UT salaries, but you might well be able to hire someone in Tennessee.

I had TN specifically in my mind because I had a remote coworker from there at my SF startup. He was a great guy and super talented, and lived on a beautiful farm he had no intention of leaving. That’s the guy you want to be targeting. Hire my old neighbors from Missouri. That brilliant kid in Nebraska. Someone from Iowa, although I don’t know why you’d want to do that, go Huskers. Take advantage of all the things we scrambled to build out to make full time remote jobs completely feasible these last few years.
