News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

well, yeah, most apps need to have developers working on it

[–] solrize 22 points 10 months ago (3 children)

They want to put in more spyware and ads! And that is an impressive salary range. I had no idea mobile devs made that much. No I'm not going to apply but hmm.

They also seem open to remote. Perhaps their head of engineering actually has a clue about what it takes to hire talent. Granted, they could have likely just bought one of the many popular third party apps and developed that into the official app. But, that would require admitting their own app was crap.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

They did. Then they ruined it.

[–] LazaroFilm 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They really should have bought Apollo…

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Did Christian say he didn’t want to sell to them? I read that as “didn’t offer enough money”

[–] LazaroFilm 9 points 10 months ago

I think they announced the price of the api then said your app is worth nothing because of the high api cost so here is our low offer. Take it or your app dies. Which is the dickest move possible.

Principal Developer is the top position for a developer, unless there's also senior principal. It's the highest you can usually go without being management.

Junior, intermediate (also just developer) senior, staff, principal

Intermediate and up can also have levels within them.

[–] Anticorp 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That is an impressive salary. WTF?

[–] Meltrax 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Tech, dude.

Also, they list those numbers using "total compensation" which for a private company includes shares which in most cases is monopoly money. Reddit is about to IPO allegedly so slightly more useful here. But it's not just $300k in cash.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Tech layoffs have ballooned. Still seems high.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Nah he’s on the ball about their IPO. Id bet a significant amount of that compensation is in shares that will tank in value over time, and not actual cash monies.

[–] bl4ckblooc 2 points 10 months ago

And its allowing for remote workers in Canada or the United States. Most tech jobs I see lately are the opposite, they want you to do more work than the role entails for less money than it should be making, and less and less of those jobs offer remote work. Lots of the jobs I have been applying for want you to do the work of a supervisor for the pay of a specialist.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (3 children)

The same position is open in multiple job markets, including here in Toronto. It’s possible that they need multiple code engineers, but the most likely read is they really need this person.

Possibly to tick a few boxes in the IPO prospectus…

[–] Anticorp 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's remote, so they'll list it in all the tech hotspots.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

When I create remote posting I put them in lots of markets. I only need one engineer; I just want to hit lots of hiring pools.

[–] Copernican 2 points 10 months ago

Not a bad time to join if you can negotiate a good amount of pre IPO equity.

[–] LazaroFilm 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah and if it’s a remote position it doesn’t matter where the physical person is.

[–] RedditWanderer 7 points 10 months ago

They seem to have a high turnover rate. I always see these ads for reddit engineers in my feed on LinkedIn

[–] LemmyIsFantastic 4 points 10 months ago

No. You are imagining things. It what world does we need more engineers mean we don't like the app?
