P.s. We might be able to help with the flight ticket if you're an interesting candidate. And Malaysia's cost of living is just way cheaper :D
Sorry if that rubs you the wrong way. That expectation applies to only one career option, the "I'm really smart" option. We put this in because we want people who want to join Vase, but do not see themselves in any of the positions currently offered, to pitch us what position they want, and why they're a really good fit for it.
Given the nature of creating a position specifically for a candidate, I think it is a fair expectation on that candidate to prove why that position is necessary in Vase, and also what value they bring, hence the "Expect no pay until you prove your value."
That being said, the position that @amagnasco expressed interest in, Operations Intern, is definitely paid, as are all the other defined positions we have.
I'd love to pick your brain if there is a better way we can do this though @antoineMoPa. We want to attract great people, and know that sometimes they may not see themselves in a software engineer/sales executive/data analyst role, (which is what we have on offer), and this seemed like the best way to attract driven people who will create their own role in the company.
Do you have any ideas?
I looked on your website-- I like it! Operations intern sounds good. I'm applying, thanks for letting me know!
I was hoping you'd consider the full-stack developer role actually, given your clear interest in infrastructure. To clarify, that is a paid position, without the "expect no pay until you prove your value" condition, as we just really need good tinkerers right now.
Also, given your background in PoliSci and your current interest in R and machine learning, I could also definitely see you in an analyst's role. We don't have that up on our careers page yet, but as I've mentioned above, we're open to creating a role for you if you are a good fit. :D
