Offstream (YC S24) | https://www.useoffstream.com/ | Denver, CO | Backend software engineer | $130k - $170k + equity

Offstream’s mission is to enable carbon compliance by building the tools clean tech developers use to stay compliant and maximize revenue for their operations. We work with clean tech developers globally to simplify the complex web of compliance across IRA tax credit requirements, voluntary carbon market standards, and local, state, and federal regulations. The market for low-carbon projects is rapidly growing fueled by $500B+ IRA incentives from the US, purchase commitments made by large corporate buyers, compliance market mechanisms, and the climate crisis. Offstream enables the launch and scale-up of projects that are critical to net zero.

We are looking for a talented back end software engineer to join our growing engineering team. The role will be mostly back end focused but it will sometimes be necessary to work on the front end of the application, especially while the team is small. You will be the second engineer to join the engineering team (currently 1 engineer + co-founder/CTO) and have a massive impact on the architecture and shape of the Offstream product.

To apply, Send an email to hiring@useoffstream.com with a short intro about yourself and what you’re looking for in your next job, and mention you came from HN. Please include a copy of your resume + a link to your LinkedIn profile

This looks like a great piece of hard work covering topics that are not easy to grasp. I am wondering why the author(s) chose to write their code samples in Julia. Most algorithm textbooks I have come across use their own "pseudocode" which often ends up being challenging to read, but in a perfect world, I would selfishly like to have all of the code snippets in Python. Even though this textbook doesn't do that (although let's not rule out future optimizations!), the amount of work that went into this was clearly astounding and well done.

I don't have any data to support this, but I would imagine that those high CoL areas are what causes that number to be up around $55,000. The numbers in the article from the individuals in the story were for the Seattle area. Although its no bay area, it isn't the midwest either. In most parts of the country that aren't the coasts or a major city, the average is probably significantly lower

A lot of posts on the "Who is Hiring?" Thread (at least the good ones) that happens every month will contain contact information of people at the company often times who are in charge of the actual hiring. I assume this is what that was referring to

The tweets at the end really damage this article's reputation as a reasonable piece of journalism (if that's how you choose to label Business Insider). It is absurd to claim that ones reputation is irreparably damaged by not having left the company yet. People have jobs because they need income and to support their lives and families. Even when a company is clearly screwing up (looking right at Uber here), employees can't just leave with out any consequence to their personal life or their ability to afford to live

Yes this is an issue with Amazon and there is little you can do besides wait until it has been resolved

Really unfortunate that it pitches php development as a way to get started as an older developer. As if an older developer doesn't already feel antiquated and behind, let's make it worse by teaching them an established technology that is not usually the language of choice for companies on the bleeding edge of technology, which i, I imagine, where these people are hoping to be

I have found this resource to be extremely useful in going over data structures and algorithms to prepare for interviews. Although the author doesn't always conform to the standard implementations of certain data structures and often is overly verbose in his code, it is a pretty robust treatment of the basics

It is probably safe to assume that just about 0 percent of people under the age of 20 have a college degree (not including the few savants who graduate high school before turning 18), which essentially makes this statistic useless. It gets even worse when you take into account the commonly understood fact that it takes many students more than 4 years to complete a degree. This attempt at using a statistic that does not make sense in context really degrades the value of the entire article and makes it seem like the nations youth is worse off than it actually may be.

The same kind that was the CEO of one of the most successful companies in the history of the world.

Steve Jobs may have missed the mark on some of his products during his long tenure at Apple, but his focus on quality in every possible area of what he had a part in creating has paid its benefits
