How do you apply?
How to Apply: Please send your resume and a cover letter explaining why you are the perfect fit for this role.
👉 Please reference you found the job on Remote OK, this helps us get more companies to post here, thanks!
When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site. Remote OK accepts no liability or responsibility as a consequence of any reliance upon information on there (external sites) or here.
This job post is closed and the position is probably filled. Please do not apply. Work for Lightup Network Solutions and want to re-open this job? Use the edit link in the email when you posted the job!
Please, pleasy-please, read and respect the following 5 notes before applying with a single click:
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]
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.
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.
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.
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!
