-- Senior Full Stack Engineer — C$180k–200k

Own major product surfaces end-to-end, from talking to customers and scoping through architecture, implementation, and iteration. No PM layer — engineers closest to the problem own the solution. Looking for 8–10 years full stack, deep React/Next.js, strong Node.js in production at scale, advanced Postgres (multi-tenant, query optimization), auth/RBAC in multi-tenant B2B, and BullMQ or similar (Sidekiq, SQS, Temporal). Real product instincts required.

Out of curiosity, what issues did you face with remote control on claude? I use it daily and it seems to work pretty well (bar the issues when my Mac would sleep and then the session would disconnect, but that's an issue on my end).

As a Solutions Engineer at SalesJack, you'll own the technical side of bringing new customers live and keeping them successful. Every implementation involves ERP integration, product category mapping, permit source configuration, data migration, and on-site training — and you'll be the person who makes all of that happen. Post-launch, you'll handle customizations: new reports, routing rules, data transformations, and one-off integrations. You'll work closely with founders, engineers, and the dealers using our product every day. We highly value a startup mentality—taking initiative, moving quickly, and iterating solutions based on real customer feedback.

We are looking for:

- 2+ years in a Solutions Engineering, Implementation Engineering, Data Engineering, or similarly hands-on technical customer-facing role

- Strong SQL — comfortable writing non-trivial queries against Snowflake, Postgres, or similar warehouses

- Comfort with REST APIs, auth flows, pagination, rate limits, and debugging flaky endpoints

- Familiarity with (or strong interest in) construction supply ERPs such as BisTrack, DMSi Agility, or ECI Spruce

- Some travel may be required to customer sites in the US

Our hiring process will be:

1. Initial call with our founding team to briefly discuss your background and introduce SalesJack ~30mins

2. Technical Exercise: SQL, integration design, and a customer scenario walkthrough ~1.5 hours

3. Cultural fit call with one of our founders ~30mins

And those different (or similar) views are what would be important and what I would be interested to read. Because the views of the people from that land are what matter the most during these events.

I would love to hear what the Syrian hacker news community has to say about this. I’m reading so many comments here but not sure how many are from actual Syrians who probably have a deeper understanding and hope/fears about what comes next.

This is not a recent addition. It is more than 10 years old but was shut down during Covid. They are slowly starting to bring it back. It also wasn’t restricted to just Cathay before, but a large number of major airlines had counters at HK Station for check-in services. It’s wonderful - you can check in your bags before heading to work in the morning and in the evening take the train to the airport directly.

I absolutely love Postico. For postgres, there really is no comparison for a Mac native db client. DBeaver seems so clunky in comparison, but I use that for everything non postgres.

BC CRT is great when the happy pathway happens. They send legal letters to all parties so they are able to arbitrate, and that letter might be enough to get things resolved.

I had the misfortune of trying to use them for a company which had just stopped responding and in the end even though I did get the default judgment in my favour, actually enforcing the judgment still required me to go through the normal courts (which in my case was not worth the cost). But the process of dealing with CRT was nothing short of delightful.

Flight was from Portland, Oregon to Ontario, California - it was a domestic flight.

- A pair of wireless headphones with good battery life

- A pair of wired earphones/headphones with an attached microphone in it for meetings

- An external camera for meetings, or if you have a spare phone you can use Camo (or iPhone's continuity camera) to stream video from the phone as a camera. When combined with a good phone stand, this setup beats most external cameras.

- A footstool/ottoman to rest your feet

- If you drink coffee, then experiment with and find good coffee beans that you would enjoy

- A desk placement that has you facing a window, this makes sure you can just look up to see outside and also keeps unwanted reflections on your monitor low

And of course a good desk and a chair. Search on FB marketplace for really good deals.

You can drive to NYC and take the Adirondack to Montreal or the Maple Leaf to Toronto. These are both daily trains.

Seems like this is similar to the container functionality in Firefox.

Lets do it!

Use netparcel. It has changed how I view shipping locally within the country and I do it more often now.

This kind of behaviour (bridging js and native) is very common in apps in Asia - especially China. A lot of apps use html to render a lot of pages in their app to keep almost everything dynamic, but they also need to be able to use things like FaceID and sharing buttons from the native side on those html pages. They use a bridge similar to this to achieve this.

This is common enough in China that the term "H5" is used to refer to in-app html rendered pages via a webview which behave similar to a native screen through the use of these bridges.

I live in Surrey and had no idea New West was doing this, it's like 15 minutes away. We need this idea to spread across Metro Vancouver, I'll definitely do more research into how it came about.

ps: this is a very good reason to move to new west!

Oh wow I had no idea Canada did municipal broadband and $32 a month is insanely cheap compared to what shaw/telus charge in the west. Which city do you live in and what's your city-managed ISP called? Would love to know more

just a math correction: 20% of $2T is $400b - or about 40x of Elastic

This is incredible, from the point of view of the average researcher they will simply be able to (legally) obtain any paper they wish. The effort to get more publishing in open-journals is something which will go on in parallel, but this is going to immediately boost access for the average person who doesn't have the time (or money) to lobby for open-publishing.

Since it is at the top with a lot of votes, it seems like it is indeed the place for it no?

This is monthly, sorry I missed the /month in the post.

Kinda unrelated but I was amazed at the speed with which the webpage loaded. In the age of bloated websites, being able to start reading the content within a second of clicking was refreshing. Kudos to the NYT developers!

Just out of curiosity, how old are you?

That makes sense though I don't see a 2.5A adapter to order separately on their website (because I might be needing one later).

It says it is shipping out with the 2A PSU while the rpi website recommends that the pi3 uses a 2.5A psu. Any reason?
