Company: Oil Shell open source project
Company site: https://www.oilshell.org/
Position(s): C++ / Python Language Engineer
Location: REMOTE (I’m in the US, but Europe/Canada preferred for reasons related to the grant. Feel free to contact me in any case.)
Description:
I have a slightly unusual job funded by a grant under https://nlnet.nl ! Everything about the job is flexible – think of it as an open source project where you happen to get paid for specialized skill.
The job is to work on a garbage-collected language runtime and OS bindings in C++. This is the foundation of an open source shell. Most of the project’s code is written in statically typed Python, and this is the “unsafe core”.
There is also related work on a Python translator/compiler in Python.
We’ve had one person working under the grant since June, and he’s been paid (Jesse). This is working great, but we can use more help.
The good news is that this process has made the code more accessible, cleaner, and open to contribution (updated docs, cleaned up the build system, CI, etc.)
We also have 2 or 3 other interested people, with varying degrees of commitments (full time job, etc)
Everything about the project is open, so please take a look and contact me at andy@oilshell.org if interested. We can chat online or do a video call (I’m based in the USA). We can also arrange a code walkthrough or paid “trial period”. We want people who will have fun working on these problems.

Company: AdaCore
Company site: https://www.adacore.com
Position(s): GCC/GNU Toolchain Developer, Build System Developer, DevSecOps developer, QA Release Engineer, Software Supply Chain Engineer, Product Security Engineer, Cloud Platform Administrator.
Location: Some positions are available remotely, others are in Paris/Grenoble/Toulouse/Vannes in France, the Product Security Engineer one is in Dresden in Germany.
Description: AdaCore’s original mission was to maintain GNAT, GCC’s Ada frontend. The company quickly expanded and is now maintaining a lot of tools revolving around the Ada ecosystem (build systems, other backends for GNAT, IDEs, various parsing technologies, static analysis tools, formal proof tooling, embedded runtimes…). Everything we do is open source and we make money by selling support, trainings, certification etc.
Tech stack: Depends a lot on the position, but knowing Ada is not a requirement (AdaCore can even provide trainings in the language if necessary). If you’re going for the Release Engineer, DevSecOps or Software Supply Chain Enginner positions, you’ll likely need Python.

We’re looking for strong software engineers across the stack – data science, infrastructure, devops – with our current focus on a frontend engineer that likes doing data visualization.
Tech stack: Go, Typescript, K8S,
Compensation: Depends on position and seniority.
Contact: jobs@pingthings.io OR reach out directly to ori@pingthings.io
You might want to specify what US time zone this is and what you consider to be core hours. There is no overlap between west-coast and UK working days, for example, whereas there is an overlap for east coast, but it may not fall in what you call core hours.
That said, if I actually were looking for a job, this line would be a massive red flag that tells me that no one at your company knows you to run an inclusive geographically distributed team and that anyone not in the office will be a second-class citizen.
That’s a little harsh, especially in this casual atmosphere. You could just ask for clarification.
Also, “must be willing to meet during” isn’t the same as “must be constantly available”.
(just to clarify, I don’t know pingthings or ori, just responding to your tone)
Core hours are somewhat flexible, generally the meetings cluster between 12:00 and 16:00 EST.
There’s no office.
However, most coworkers and customers are currently scattered across the US, so meetings are scheduled for US time zones. If you are in Europe, Asia, or elsewhere, you will have meetings scheduled at odd hours. I believe we used to restrict hiring to the US, but decided that people can make their own choices about what hours they’re willing to meet.
I put that line there for a reason. You call it a red flag, I call it important information.
That’s useful information, but it leaves out how meeting times are determined. From your post, it sounds as they’re put somewhere that works for the majority and it’s up to the minority to deal with the inconvenience. In my experience, that kind of corporate culture tends to permeate everything and if you’re not part of the in group then it’s going to suck to be you, whether you’re a different ethnicity, gender, nationality, time zone, educational background, or whatever to the majority of the team. That’s why I consider this kind of thing to be a red flag: you’re not saying ‘come and work for us, enrich our team culture, and we will adapt our working practices so that everyone can deliver their best’, you’re saying ‘come and work for us, if our working practices put you at a disadvantage then deal with it or leave’.
If that isn’t your corporate culture, then you might want to think a bit about how it is perceived in your job ads. For example, I note that your ad does not contain any gender-coded words, which is usually a sign that a company is at least thinking a bit about inclusive hiring. If that is part of your values then it’s a shame that you don’t put as much effort into the first thing that people read. For example, consider the following alternative:
This tells me that you care about your employees but acknowledge that there are some times when they need to work around your requirements.
Or even this, from one of the other ads on this page:
This is more neutral, but it at least doesn’t convey the attitude that you’re unwilling to compromise and suggests that, as long as you have some overlap with these hours then you’ll be able to schedule meetings either within or close to what you consider to be the working day.
For reference: I work in the UK, for Microsoft, which is a very Seattle-heavy organisation. I work with a load of folks in Seattle and the Bay Area, yet I almost never have to have meetings more than an hour outside of 9-5. Outlook warns you when you set up a meeting if it’s outside of working hours for some of the participants and there’s an expectation that you’ll pay attention to this warning and, especially, if you repeatedly schedule meetings outside of the working hours of someone more junior to you (who is less able to say no) then you should expect a conversation with your manager about it.
That feels like an odd stretch to me, but in case anyone feels the same way you do –
Currently 40% of my team (infrastructure engineering) identifies as female. In a recent conversation a teammate said that one of the reasons they really enjoy working here is that they constantly feel respected. She’s also described feeling like “part of the avengers, where everyone has their different talents and approaches, and I know where and who to go to for every kind of problem”.
In general, I think that this team has a solid culture, where everyone has each other’s back and is willing to put in effort and thought into making sure everyone is supported, helped, and at their best. Everyone I work with is quick to give others credit for their help in successes, and quick to lend a hand when they can.
People are generally trusted to do things their own way, and given a good amount of creative freedom over their projects, with help and support when they need it. There’s generally a solid culture of mentorship.
And while there are quieter voices and louder ones (I’m one of the loudmouths), the louder voices tend to be self aware and make sure that the quieter people get a chance to be heard, and we make sure that they get a chance and forum to influence process, approaches, and culture.
Finally, while these aren’t official – both myself and our CEO have gone through the Recurse Center, and tend to point new candidates at the RC social rules as a guideline.
I know more than one colleague across different teams have interviewed at other places, and decided to stay where they were because they liked the culture and coworkers.
Obviously, this is just one aspect of work, and there is plenty of suck too. (if anyone reading happens to consider applying and wants an anti-pitch, I’m happy to discuss the reasons you should not join this company. Just reach out.).
Anyways, I’d be willing to talk more about how to best support a team where exactly one member is working in a time zone that prevents them from negotiating some form of reasonable core hours to meet with their US-timezone based colleagues, but I don’t think this is the right forum for that. (And I don’t make the final decision, but good ideas are always welcome.)
Sure, it implies the same thing to me, but it reads better. I’ll probably use that for future postings.
