Grist Labs | Systems Engineer | Full-time | NYC OR REMOTE +/- 3hrs | https://getgrist.com
We're looking for someone to make our modern spreadsheet software run everywhere. To apply, there's a puzzle. Just do:
docker run -it gristlabs/grist-twist
and poke around. If the words battery correct horse staple mean something to you, you might have an advantage.
The essential requirement for the job is comfort working with operating systems and containers, and having some back-end programming experience. People with a dev-ops background will do well. If you have strong open source experience, even better.
Have you seen people install your popular software in weird and wonderful places, and seen all the weird and wonderful problems that crop up? Ever wanted to really go all in on making an app or library that can go anywhere? If so, you're the kind of person we want to talk to. Our software can already be used everywhere: as a commercial SaaS, or as part of a government office suite, running on servers owned by enterprises and citizen self-hosters, desktops, air-gapped installations, compiled to pure in-browser javascript, rippling like a dream through the etheric plane (well, not this last one yet). But it isn't always easy, and that's where you come in!
It definitely can work if the rest of the team is big on async, written comms.
I guess I’ll take your answer as a no then :(
EDIT: Thanks for being dutiful with a timely response to my question. That’s an absolute rarity in this monthly hiring thread where most questions are left hanging with no answers.
