Please, pleasy-please, read and respect the following 5 notes before applying with a single click:

1. Instead of using the RemoteOK built-in application system where the systems sends the employer a note like "John is interested in this position, click here to see his RemoteOK CV" please just send your CV in PDF format to the following E-Mail address: [email protected]
2. We'll pay you 1500 EUR per month for 6h per day, Monday to Friday. It's hard to stay focused for 8 hours straight, therefore more than 6h per day don't make sense. You can have other jobs on the side, but not while you're dedicating your daily 6h to Lightup. The 6h must get spent dedicated, continous, without interruption and without doing other tasks at the same time.
3. You'll find a keyword at the end of this job description. Include it in your E-Mail to us, either in the subject or in the body of your E-Mail, so that we know you're clear about what you're actually applying for vs. just applying for a ton of jobs in a random fashion because that's not cool. E-Mails without the keyword will get ignored.
4. If there are should be typing or grammar mistakes in your CV we'll already know that you don't pay much attention to detail and in this case you're the wrong candidate for this job.
5. Thanks for your cooperation, these are some prerequisites to save time on both sides. :-)
   

Now, about the actual job: Lightup was established in 1998 in Frankfurt, Germany as a Hosting & Domain Provider and today is still a small but international Internet Full-Service & Telephony Service Provider, focusing heavily on web-based telecommunication services (VoIP) since 2011. We're need more developers to create more cool web telecom-related projects and apps. 100% of our team works from remote.

To compensate for the monthly kind of low payment of just 1500 EUR, which may be too low for some parts of the world, we're offering you a quite unique profit sharing model: For every web project that you turn into reality, you'll receive 20% of the profit that this project generates for as long as you stay with Lightup. That way, you'll be also extra motivated to extend the service you just created and keep it running and improve it over time while it's growing, generating you even more profit every month. We love to see our employees happy, and if the company is profiting as a whole, you as an individual should profit from that, too.

We'll create the ideas, and you'll put these projects into reality. Your profile:

• You are awesome at working independently and self-sufficient, you are great at researching using Google and AI tools extensively to find the infos you need & to learn.
• You could, in theory, build functional websites from scratch without relying on AI or programming tools.
• You can write code from scratch using your brain, without AI, and just by using a text editor (if need be).
• Coding means actually writing manual code for you, not copy'ing & paste'ing code snippets that you found on the web. To you, coding also doesn't mean dragging objects from A to B in some visual "programming" tool.
  

In other words, you're a real programmer!

Your skills:

• Perfect English & typing proficiency. No typos, no grammar mistakes.
• You can create Android apps from scratch, from start to finish, by yourself.
• You can handle the Linux shell and you can navigate through a Linux-based filesystem using just command line tools.
• You're a master of the programming language(s) of your choice that allow you to create web-projects (PHP, Python, whatever).
• You are very good at SQL, you understand the inner workings of e.g. MySQL and thus you know what makes queries slow and what makes them fast.
  
• All of this requires that you already have plenty of experience, if you are new to all of this or if you think AI will be able to handle these requirements for you, then you are not the right candidate.
• You have used vi or vim before.

What the job will look like in practice:

• We're defining the inner workings and features of the to-be-created web-based service, or app, together.
• You'll start at 0 and build these services & apps from the ground up, independently, by yourself.
• We'll communicate permanently via Slack.
• Here you can find the keyword so that we'll know you actually read until here: Work-in-underpants.
• No travelling required, you can do this job from anywhere in the world with a stable, broadband internet connection. External keyboard + external mouse required in case you're working on a laptop, otherwise you would be too slow for what we expect from you.
• We are a German company, and precision and speed are key to this role. :-)

And now, we're looking forward to read from you - thank you!

📆 4 day workweek

We work with IT security professionals and ethical hackers to help them find security holes and vulnerabilities in systems before the bad guys do.

There is a lot of creativity and innovation involved in findings those holes. Unfortunately, it’s not all fun and games, in order for their “findings” to be useful, they need to document their results, track progress, notify stakeholders, review mitigations implemented, verify, re-test, etc. There is a lot of overhead involved in the process.

Surprising no one, IT Security experts like the fun and games but don’t like the overhead/ back-office stuff. That’s where we come in, we exist to make the life of IT Security professionals easier, better, more enjoyable by making all of these overhead tasks easier and more painless.

We've been in business for 12 years, completely self-funded and profitable. Today, we serve over 440 Infosecurity teams across 37 different countries.

What’s the opportunity?

We’re looking to hire our 8th full-time employee, a well-rounded Rails developer.

In this role, you will learn a ton and be part of a small, global, and user-centered company.

You’ll have the opportunity to make a difference to the lives of 100s of hackers. Plus, as a small team, you will will have a lot of choice about what to work on, and there are still a lot of untapped opportunities for you to grow as the company does.

Our founder, Daniel, presenting at the BlackHat conference.

What's in it for you?

- Work anywhere – We're 100% remote.

- Flexible work hours - Provided you have reasonable overlap with the team (roughly within EU/US Eastern business hours).

- Great salary – You will be making more than others in your region.

- Flexible vacation – Take time off when you need it, we trust you (no less than 4 weeks each year).

- No external pressures - Our users are king, we do what's best for them. We're self-funded, and don't have any investors, so we can make the right decisions for our customers without worrying about artificial deadlines or financial targets.

- Autonomy – You will be given a lot of freedom to do what you think is right, without needing to explain every decision.

- Meaningful work – You will take initiative and ownership to see things through to completion. We won't micro-manage you. And your work will be measured by your results.

- You'll be working in the two greatest markets in the world these days... Software & Security.

- You will have great hardware and tools to work with.

What we offer and what we are looking for

You'll be a trusted and key member of our team, and this is (some of) what you'll end up doing on a day-to-day basis:

• Improve the experience for our users, help them get the results they need.

• Detect opportunities to enhance and improve our stack.

• Extend the coverage of our API layer.

• Improve our existing products and internal systems. We want to learn from you as you learn from us.

This is a full-time position for the right candidate and it has an immediate start date. Work 100% remotely (although you need to have a home base - i.e. no perma-travellers this time, sorry!).

This position might be for you if:

• You've held a remote position before, or you've held a similar position of responsibility in a traditional organisation but now are looking to improve your work-life balance.

• You are a well-rounded individual, work is not everything in life, you may have a family and social life. You work hard when it's work time and are able to switch off when it isn't.

• You're comfortable communicating with others verbally and in writing. Our team is spread across the world, and so are our clients.

• You are organised, like to be on top of your responsibilities and don't let things slip through the cracks. You will be sure to include the name of your favourite tv series as part of your application.

• You have a knack for design / UX will be a plus. Background in Information Security wouldn't hurt either.

- You believe in giving back to the community. We started with an open-source project and to this day we remain firm believers of open-source and giving back. Part of what you will be creating with the team will be released as open-source.
