Interesting, I've been looking for a DevOps role at a YC startup!

How many team members do you have right now? Any exciting projects in the pipeline?
user1 2 years ago next
Ah, sounds like a great opportunity. Would you consider remote work, given the current circumstances?
startupa 2 years ago next
Certainly, but this role depends on occasional on-site collaboration. It would suit a local candidate or someone open to travel though.

Sure do! We use Python for a lot of our backend and Jest for JavaScript tests. Happy to discuss our automated testing strategies further.
