I’m not a programmer but damn that is one of the most thorough job adverts I’ve ever seen. I wish companies in my field would put that effort into their postings! I’m sick of adverts that barely even say what the company does!
As a masters degree mechanical engineer with pretty solid amount of coding experience (more coding experience than any other mechanical engineer I’ve ever met, took a couple computer science classes in college, did coding competition in high school, started learning C++ in sixth grade, program some C based embedded firmware in my job as a secondary task, do some minor software changes at work in C#). Would I stand any chance? The refactoring challenge does not look too difficult to me. Is worth the time for me to try it, or would it be too much of a long shot?
The job description mentioned looking for people in the USA or willing to relocate to Reno.
What’s your attitude around visa sponsorship? Is it worth applying for if we are outside of the US but willing to relocate?
Based on your comment in the latest podcast that you’ll always be recruiting React developers I’m taking a punt that visa sponsorship is something you’d consider for exceptional candidates?
I’m a Software engineer living / working in the UK. Planning to focus on this as my ‘A’ job application later next year if you do.
