BaseCase | Berlin, Germany | Software Engineer | http://basecase.com | Remote, Visa

Our primary product is a sophisticated web application which allows non-developers create interactive presentations.

We're looking for talented front-end and back-end developers. Our technology stack is Javascript / jQuery / HTML5 on the back-end, and Python / MySQL on the back-end. But you don't need experience in our stack - we know a good developer can learn on the job. You can apply here:

Currently our biggest 'gap' is on the front-end, so I'd like to particularly encourage Javascript/UI/UX experts to apply.

We're also looking for OpenERP / Odoo developers, to ensure our smooth operations:

We can support remote workers, and are willing to assist in obtaining a work visa for Germany if required.

We have been profitable for several years, so we can offer very competitive salaries, with stock options.

Our hiring process involves 'offline' programming tests followed by ~2 interviews.

Cheers,

I've decided to simplify the recruitment process, due to some criticisms in this thread (some I would disagree with, some fair). New applicants will follow this process:

1. New applicants receive an outline of the salary range, the working environment, our products, and the remaining recruitment process (our "FAQ").

2. "Software architecture" test (3.5hrs - 6hrs avg, 9hr max)

3. ~2 1hr interviews

4. Offer

The 'software architecture' test document has also been expanded, so that more information is provided on what we're looking for exactly.

Since everything is disclosed in step 1, people can make an informed decision on whether to proceed. This differs with the previous process in that one needed to pass a screening test before receiving this document.

Notes:

-) All applicants receive explicit accept / rejection emails (this has always been the case)

-) I will try to reduce the review time for the tests (I'm involving more people)

Regards,

Diarmuid / CTO of BaseCase
