it's also the newspaper/magazine industry. it's a lovely unprofitable business and there's multiple examples of rich assholes deciding to run a publication as a lifestyle thing.

Basecamp is hiring Rails programmers to help build and maintain all our applications. We're looking for Programmer and Senior Programmer candidates, and will be accepting applications for the next two weeks. Target start date for new hires is in July.

...

About You
...
We value people who can take a stand yet commit even when they disagree. We subject ideas to rigorous consideration and challenge each other, but all remember that we’re here for the same purpose: to do good work together. That comes with direct feedback, openness to each others’ experience, and willingness to show up for each other as well as for the technical work at hand. We’re in this for the long term.
...
Pay & Benefits
Basecamp pays in the top 10% of the industry based on San Francisco rates (matched against salary + bonus). Same position, same pay, no matter where you live. The salary for candidates matched as Programmer is $165,410. The salary for candidates matched as Senior Programmer is $197,819.

Employees that have been with the company for more than two years become eligible to participate in our profit sharing program. 10% of company profits are distributed to those eligible every year, weighted according to seniority.

How to apply
Please submit an application with a CV and a cover letter that tells us about yourself, about what you can bring to Basecamp, and about Basecamp’s role in your future. Tell us about something you’ve done, something that’s relevant to the kind of work we do, something that excites you. Overall, be descriptive, but don’t write a novel — 500 words or so is plenty.

If you've participated in open source work of any kind, please include links to pull requests, bug reports, feature pitches, or any other public engagement. Open-source participation is by no means a requirement, but if it's something you've done, we'd like to look at it.

We’re accepting applications until June 17, 2021, at 7PM US-Central time. There’s no benefit to filing early, so take your time.

We expect to take a few weeks to review all applications. You’ll most likely hear from us by June 25 about advancement to a take-home technical exercise. The exercise is representative of the kind of day-to-day work we do. We invite fewer than 20 candidates to this stage, and those candidates should expect to spend upwards of a full day (but no more!) completing this test. Please consider whether you’d be willing to dedicate that time before applying.

After the written test, the top candidates will proceed to the interview stages. Expect 2-3 interviews, all one hour, all remote, with your future colleagues, on your schedule. We’ll talk through your background, your approach to work, and dive into your technical knowledge. No gotchas, brainteasers, or whiteboards.

We aim to make an offer by early July with a start date later that month.

Please note that we’re unable to offer individual feedback during the screening process. We usually see 1,000+ applications for programmer roles, and our hiring team simply doesn’t have the bandwidth to offer personalized feedback before the technical exercise round.

This is a demanding application process. We appreciate you giving us that consideration, and we promise to give you our full attention in return. We look forward to hearing from you!
