Remind | Software Engineer | San Francisco or Remote | Full Time

At Remind (https://remind.com/) we are building an ed-tech business on top of our 27 million monthly active teachers, students, parents, and guardians as we strive to get every kid a chance to succeed.

We are looking for senior engineers to help us scale our services as well as take our reliability to the next level. We've got systems in go, node, ruby, and python backed by AWS Aurora, Dynamo, SQS, and lots of other fun tech. See https://boards.greenhouse.io/remind/jobs/496462?gh_jid=49646... for more info, or reach out directly to me.

We are a small but mighty team looking for engineers who want to have deep impact on both education and our business.

I run engineering and am blessed to be able to not only serve teachers with a great app, but also to work alongside a great team building a business.

Email me kevin at remindhq dot com if interested. Thanks!

I admire the Netflix philosophy- ruthlessly capitalistic.

And, even in SV, most of the industry cannot; certainly the AirBnB/uber/lyft's of the world can, but the smaller companies seem to be falling behind (based on anecdotal conversations at least).

Great point, although said rent is being driven largely by FB and GOOG. I remember the first time I was outbid for a flat in 2016 when a small group of googlers paid cash for the entire first year of rent. I should have moved to Seattle that afternoon :)

I was more looking at the differential between FB -> Alphabet -> Rest. As a member of the Rest in the Bay Area, hiring has become quantitatively more challenging in the last 12 months as FB continues to gobble up talent. Perhaps it's not so much a bubble as it is a deep, likely irreversible change to SV.

I've definitely felt the challenge of hiring in a startup as a result of these kinds of numbers. I'm curious what others think will come of this seeming bubble in compensation.
