Same for me. I feel for the on-call people.

Schoolyear (Remote CEST±1) - we're a fast-growing start-up based in The Netherlands. Our aim is to simplify IT for educators, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: teaching.
We're looking for a backend engineer that loves to work in a small, fast-pace. We're looking for a new team mate that likes the challenge of building rock solid infrastructure, and also likes to build products that people like to use. At this role you can combine the two. In our team we believe "boring" infrastructure is better infrastructure.
We're a tight team (11, 6 engineers) working from all over Europe, all with our own core skills. We work in 8 week development cycles (6 sprint, 2 cooldown) and we have strong technical leadership. We meet up 4 times a year in a team mate's city for an on-site week.

Nope, we don't have write access to the config. It's manually configured by the universities through the admin console. We first through some admin deleted the config by mistake, but then it started happening for multiple universities.

Greece, Hungary, Budapest, The Netherlands. So seems to be at least most of EU.

Schoolyear (https://schoolyear.com/) | Experienced backend engineer | The Netherlands (Eindhoven) | REMOTE (EU) | Full-time
We help universities simplify digital exams (on-site) by locking down devices and streaming desktop applications. Our job is done when any professor can organize an exam without the help of the IT department and the students don't really notice they're using our app.
We're a team of 9, mostly remote, all over Europe. We're a 3yo bootstrapped startup with 1M+ in ARR.
Challenges we work on: - Peaky traffic. Some weeks we have 50k+ users, other weeks <200. - Native software that has to run smoothly on many different devices ranging from potato laptops to chunky workstations. Up until now we ran on 6k+ different laptop models (300k+ devices in total). - Large, multi-tenant VDI clusters scaling up and down rapidly. - Our users are very non-techsavy while they the underlying infra they're managing is quite complex. Dummy-proof UX is fundamental to our mission.
We try to keep our stack simple: Go, Postgres, Vue, Electron, C++

Hi Founder,
I've been wanting to use render for a long time now at our startup, but last time I looked at your GDPR info it was lacking. We sell to public education institutes in the EU, so it is a make or break for us. We might not be your target customer in that case, but otherwise I would love to hear what is possible.

From what I can see, the research method is quite flawed.
What if drinking more coffee or tea makes you die younger? This would result in the same data they base their conclusions on.
E.g. dementia en strokes correlate with age. If you die young because of high coffee consumption you wouldn't show up in the "drank coffee and subsequently had a stroke" group.
