<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div>We are hiring at 38 Degrees. We're looking for mid/senior, and we would be happier to find people at the senior end of that range rather than the 'mid' end. BUT, it's worth noting up front that our pay is never going to match commercial organisations (and the discrepancy is larger at the senior end of the scale). We're a not-for-profit entirely funded by small donations, with an ethically-motivated salary cap which compresses our options at the top-end (where directors and senior techies live!) - the salary range we're currently offering is up to £60,000 p.a.<div><br></div><div>If money isn't your primary criteria when choosing a job, then it's a great place to work - very supportive, keen on staff development, with some interesting tech challenges and some even more interesting 'business' challenges (trying to keep ahead of politics can cause some truly ridiculous deadlines for rushing MVPs into production!)... and the best set of colleagues (across the entire organisation, not just the tech team) that I have ever worked with. Plus you get to go home each day feeling good about the end-goal that your technical work is contributing to (assuming that you're on the progressive end of the political spectrum anyway - if you're not, then it's probably not the place for you) :)</div><div><br></div><div>Our job advert is here: <a href="https://boards.greenhouse.io/38degrees/jobs/4300904002">https://boards.greenhouse.io/38degrees/jobs/4300904002</a> - please do pass it along to your friends if you don't think the salary thing would be a blocker. :)</div><div><br></div><div>And if anybody has any questions please email me off list, or I'm happy to meet people for coffee/hot chocolate and a chat if they'd prefer to talk in person (assuming they don't mind coming to the Exmouth Market area during the day, or Hoxton/Shoreditch during the evening/weekend).</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Denny</div><div><br></div><div>* Our top paid employee (generally our Executive Director) cannot earn more than 3x the lowest-paid - who are interns on slightly more than London living wage.</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 7 Nov 2019 at 13:16, Alex Heaton <<a href="mailto:alex@heaton.me">alex@heaton.me</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div><div></div><div><div>Hi LRUG,<br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm a developer, not a recruiter — but suddenly I've got a load of people in my network all interested in new roles and asking if I know of anything.

All are interested in joining talented perm teams on good products.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Then, a squad of 4 Rubyists who are trying to transition over to Elixir. They're extremely senior developers who've worked on some complex stuff. If you haven't had a look at Elixir yet, I highly recommend it: as you might know the creator Jose was a big influence in the Rails community over the years. These folks aren't interested in more Ruby roles unfortunately, but I thought I would mention it here as I know a couple of Ruby teams that are using more Elixir.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Lots of love,<br></div><div>~Alex Heeton<br></div></div><br><div><div>LargePrefPlaceholder-XKUz1MEJBwkOM</div><br></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
