Evergreen | Full-time | NYC, SF, REMOTE | Full-Stack and React Native Engineers

Evergreen is building a comprehensive platform to help people get jobs, especially with the pandemic. But we’re putting the worker in the center and giving them tools that match the powerful automation companies have — to start. We’re shooting for a wholesale inversion of control that creates autonomy for individuals.

Two engineering roles for now: full-stack and mobile. Django, Python, Postgres, AWS, React Native. Both report to the CTO, me. We’re a small, experienced, cohesive team (despite coming together during COVID) who’s growing thoughtfully, despite excellent capitalization.

Sad to see so much detail paid to the data, and so little to the setup of the experiment itself.

It shouldn't be surprising that an online technical screen favors candidates who've participated in a MOOC, but is blind, say, to years of experience. A screen like this is timed-performance-at-a-distance, which resembles MOOC participation. The full spectrum of qualities that comprise a Good Hire might incorporate the other signals from the post, but this type of interview won't test them.

(I'll be the first to admit I'm biased against performative coding in engineering interviews. Tech screens like this are often necessary, though, so they have their place.)


This was a great read about the supply side, despite the wince-worthy factual errors.

Another great read, from the venerable David Driscoll of K&L in San Francisco, has a lot about the demand side: http://spiritsjournal.klwines.com/klwinescom-spirits-blog/20...


Most definitely the original.


No. Tecmo Super Bowl (also for NES) is the one with Bo. First to have licensing to support it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tecmo_Super_Bowl

Shame they used Tecmo Bowl - is far inferior to Super Bowl.


+1 to all of this.

I'm not in San Diego right now, but I've started projects and a company there, and hired dozens of engineers from the talent pool. If you have are a decent employer, you can have your pick of the litter . . . of bright, experienced folks who are aggressively 9-5.

I'm not knocking 9-5ers. They're in the right place: San Diego is truly paradise, and I support work/life balance more than I used to.

But the consistent high quality of life, and the large portion of talented people who live there for it, will always suppress San Diego's entrepreneurial aspirations.

Of course, if you are OK with less-than-leading-edge projects, or you are aggressively seeking stability, I can't recommend it enough.


I just love how a term that has so much material impact for so many people swung from Not Great to Industry-Leading Excellent . . . from a HN comment, to a PR, and merged . . . in a couple of hours.


I don't think the actual term changed, just the documentation.

iOS Engineer (employee #1)

Remedy connects primary care doctors with specialists through real-time mobile apps. No one has made something simple and useful for health care collaboration yet, so we are.

A human reviews every submission before it goes on the wall. We might notice; we might not. ;)


The idea is out there now. Might have to be more vigilant :)

Airbnb clearly has product aspirations beyond home/room/yurt rentals.
