bellsong.net | Chief of Staff - First Employee | Remote - east coast hours | $60-$80k | 45 days vacation/year

Bellsong is an early stage business exploring opportunities related to therapy. This is an opportunity to join early, work alongside an experienced founder (that’s me!) and grow with the organization.

We’re motivated by a few key questions:

* Is there an alternative to the high-growth startup model that centers customers and employees rather than outside stakeholders?

* Therapy changes lives. How do we honor and promote this practice?

* Therapists are superheroes. How can we support and uplift them?

We’re looking for a generalist. Your work will span three major areas:

* Operations: you’ll keep projects organized and on-track. In a chaotic startup, you’ll be a force for order.

* Writing: from emails and blog posts, to therapist profiles—you will use language to tell stories and convince others.

* Grit: this is a role where you’ll take out the proverbial trash. You will own all of the sometimes tedious administrative work.

Apple | Cupertino, California or London, UK | Full-time | Hybrid work (3 days in office) | Rust + Distributed Systems

Body Rocket | Brighton, UK | Full-time

Got an interest in cycling, handy with linux, python, C, electronics and know your way around a circuit diagram? We're a start-up that's changing the game in cycling performance by precision measurement of cycling aerodynamics (check out who we're working with, and our tech). You need to be UK-based, remote ok but need to spend some time with the team in Brighton and potentially where we're doing overseas testing and events ($SUNNY_PLACES). Small enough to still be doing informal initial chats so feel free to engage and see if there's a fit.

Solar Monkey | Frontend Engineer | Remote or On-site | The Netherlands - The Hague | Full-time | https://jobs.solarmonkey.nl/o/frontend-engineer-editors?utm_...

At Solar Monkey (https://solarmonkey.io/), our goal is to enable solar to be the world’s leading power supply, and we accomplish that with software that makes solar power systems more affordable, secure and reliable. We do so in a very open and warm environment, where everybody can have his or her say on company values, structure, and policies.

We are well funded and expanding, and currently looking for a full time front-end-focused developer to boost our team. While we're versatile in full-stack, we're on the lookout for someone who's all about frontend finesse.

Our front end is written in React & Redux, so hopefully, that excites you! However, our application isn’t too straightforward. It includes an advanced solar panel editor, built with HTML5 Canvas and overlayed on a Leaflet map that shows high-resolution aerial photographs. We even correct for view angle distortions in those photos!

Spacelift | Remote | Europe | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer | $80k-$120k

We're a VC-funded startup building an automation platform for Infrastructure-as-Code, adding a Policy-as-Code layer above it, in order to make IaC usable in bigger companies, where you have to take care of state consistency, selective permissions, a usable git flow, etc.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or SaltStack.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and already have a lot of happy and satisfied customers. We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as healthy working hours. We've also got investment days on Fridays, when you can work on anything you want, as long as it could possibly benefit Spacelift in some way.

If that sounds like fun to you, please apply at https://spacelift.teamtailor.com/jobs/3006934-software-engin...
