We have an opening for mid a senior level team lead position. Please see our website for what is probably the most detailed job description you have ever seen. No plain, repetitive, HR riddled job description here, we want you to know what you are really getting into:

https://www.level12.io/careers/

- If you apply as instructed, we will give you a yay or nay response. No black holes here!

- We have a commitment to transparency and offer a “no surprises experience” throughout the interview and hiring process.

- We practice and preach sound development practices. You are likely to learn and grow as a developer while working here.

- You will have the option of working from home or our office, whatever suits you best. Let’s make the most of our time and minimize commuting when not necessary.

- We emphasize work/life balance and adopt policies that make sure our people don’t get burnt out. For instance, our PTO/Vacation policies are designed so that you actually use them.

- A commitment to Agile Principles while not being enslaved to any particular methodology.

- You are committed to automated testing of all the software you write (our apps typically have 92%+ test coverage).

- You recognized that there is a lot of idealism in the software development community and are not disenchanted with the the day-to-day realities of programming.

- Remote candidates should still be in our region (2-3 hour drive max)




Note to applicants: see the very last item in bullet-list about their definition of "remote". I was told that I am not eligible because I'm 4 hours away from Louisville instead of 3 hours away.

I would have assumed in the context of HN (and StackOverflow, where I first saw the listing) that "remote" means anywhere with an internet connection, not just "working from home but in our city".

I did receive a relatively prompt reply though, so that was appreciated (and it was fun answering their questions).


Yeah that seems odd. What's an extra hour if it's your own car with your own gas on your time? On the flipside, would have it been possible to work out an arrangement for you to move an hour or two closer? The whole thing seems like a wasted opportunity over an hour drive.


This limitation is also clearly stated in the job description itself.


"Remote" means to most people that the work can be done from anywhere in the world. Consider rewording it to something like "work from home possible" or similar.


I never got the yay/nay (I’m assuming nay) best of luck !


Please make sure you applied as instructed in the job description. If you did, please email hrteam@level12.io with your name and the email address you applied with and I'll get back to you.


That is an excellent job description page. I'm not interested in applying, but I'd love to steal^H^H^H^H^Hcopy the page for the next time I'm hiring someone!
