poppy-easypost··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2021)
EasyPost | Full-Time, REMOTE (US) | Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure | https://www.easypost.com/careers

Are you comfortable scaling high demand software? Application level sharding? Software reliability, architecture, storage systems, HTTP, security, privacy, linux, and maybe even Ruby on Rails or python? Are you the person everyone asks questions?

We need a very senior engineer (10+ years experience) on our software infrastructure engineering team. We need someone who is willing to help others grow. We need someone with an answer, who doesn't assume they have "the" answer. Someone curious and comfortable with uncertainty, who asks questions and doesn't worry about how they might look for it, even if the request is just "help!" or "wtf?". Someone comfortable waiting for understanding, agreement, pair / mob programming, and code reviews across teams.

EasyPost makes a shipping API for rates, labels, tracking, and address verification. We're in the YC top 100 list thing https://www.ycombinator.com/topcompanies/ and we're interested in helping small and large businesses alike.

Please reach out if this sounds interesting. Send your resume and some words about what's alive in you when you read this. (I'm the hiring manager.) Or you can clicky cliky with our greenhouse thing https://boards.greenhouse.io/easypost/jobs/5171993002 and we have other positions open too, if this doesn't fit like a glove. We want you! Yes, you!

poppy-easypost··on Ask HN: How to separate work / personal profiles online, keep privacy, and post?
Great question, all sorts of things. That I would feel comfortable with at this employer, for the moment, is disclosing historical involvement in 2600 at a very bad time, let's say. This goes both directions; my current employer has been on the receiving end of protest before. I'm already hesitant to have my personal identity associated for that reason, but am doing so in the interest of others finding my resume, hosted on my website.

I don't think it takes long to imagine personal / work boundaries being crossed that are undesirable in the current western world. I think HN has a lot of articles about just that.

My bigger curiosity - is it supposed to work this way?
