looking for workplace experience? we’re looking for developers

Are you looking to get down and dirty with development? Well, we’re looking for you. Inspired by Tiffany’s post about experience, I’ve spoken with the CEO at my organization and we’ve decided we’d like to onboard 10-15 developers for 3-6 month contract work to assist new developers gaining experience to assist you finding your next job.

We’re an all remote, agile team, and we spend every Friday learning about new tech and sharpening our skills!

In addition all your contributions will be open source and MIT licensed to help the community, and you’re welcome to stay on as long as you’d like!

Are you interested? Send me an email: michael@invocie.com

Stack:

  • HTML/CSS
  • JavaScript, Node, typescript, elm
  • PHP 7.2, Go
  • rethinkdb, PostgreSQL
  • Now, Netlify, and AWS

There’s been an overwhelming response! I’m chucking away at the over 110 applications!

Our goal is to onboard everyone over the next little while, in batches so we don’t get overwhelmed of course.

Whoa! Blown away by this! I bow to you sirs. Admirable. More companies in this industry should give others the opportunity to gain experience without having to pass a cryptic whiteboard puzzle.

Bravo!

I haven't coded for a while but I'm headed back to grad school for Business Intelligence & Data Analytics and need to ramp my dev skills back up. Is this something I could do?
