My team at Bookshop.org is hiring a junior software developer.

@leonardr I am unable to access the site

@leonardr I'm a big fan of bookshop.org — nice work!

@niyabits @leonardr This is what the new hire will have to fix on day one

@leonardr bookmarked, mostly for the extremely clear job description.

@leonardr omg! That would be my dream job. Coding and books! What language?

@leonardr Applied, thanks!

Lovely seeing someone actually hiring a junior engineer these days, and the job posting is excellently written!

@leonardr This is just an appreciation post to say that I think that's a really well written job advert. I like that you start plainly with what it won't be and what it will be and how you'll support the person. I like that you didn't pick random numbers of years of experience.

@praetor Primarily Go and Typescript.

@leonardr Hmm. I know Typescript, but don't know Go.

@praetor You don't need to go in knowing everything on the list.

@leonardr oh cool. Then I'm going to apply. I love books, and love independent bookstores.

@leonardr Sweet! Applied!

@mikemccaffrey I second that fantastic job posting. I copied that page to save for inspiration and to show other people what a clear and functional job posting for a software engineer should look like.

Whoever was responsible for crafting that, very well done!

@leonardr I know someone looking - he's more senior and so this isn't a fit, BUT I really like what I read and will forward your post to him on the off chance there's something else that comes up more senior with bookshop.org later. Really impressed.

@AtanasE @niyabits @leonardr Might I humbly suggest this get pushed on to their plate, maybe day 2?

@niyabits @leonardr Same here

@leonardr is this global? cloudflare blocked me from accessing the website

@leonardr I don't suppose the US-only requirement is negotiable via an employer of record or something? Always kind of painful when I see a posting there's no logistical reason I couldn't fill, since it's remote in a compatible timezone, just a legal reason...

@leonardr sad it's ruby and js. The pay is good enough that mid levels not on the coast could accept it near the high end.
