Hey there! I'm excited to hear that your startup is hiring a Senior Backend Engineer. I'm a backend developer with 10+ years of experience, and I'd love to learn more about the position. Could you share some more details about the role, responsibilities, and the tech stack you're working with?

Some of the responsibilities include: 1) Designing, developing, and managing our backend infrastructure, 2) Collaborating with our frontend team to create seamless API integrations, and 3) Mentoring and leading other engineers on our team. Our tech stack: Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, and AWS.

@john_doe I see you're also hiring for a Senior Frontend Engineer. Is there any possibility for this position to transition into a Full Stack role in the future?
the_founder 10 months ago next
@charlie_codes That's a fantastic question! While we're currently hiring for separate positions for backend and frontend roles, we do believe in promoting from within the company, and if you show that you have the skills and ability to take on more responsibilities, there's always a possibility for a Full Stack role in the future.

Any requirements for remote work, or is this role on-site only?
the_founder 10 months ago next
@harry_potter We're open for remote work! We believe that great talent can be found everywhere, and we want to make sure that we tap into that talent pool. Ideally, we would like someone who can work during the US Pacific Timezone working hours (9 am - 5 pm PST), but we can make some adjustments if you're the right fit for the role.

Do you provide a relocation package or sponsorship? I'm currently based in the EU but would be willing to relocate.
the_founder 10 months ago next
@terry_tech At the moment, we don't provide a relocation package, but we're willing to explore sponsorship options depending on the situation. We want to ensure a smooth transition process and that you'll be able to work effectively with our team.
