Overleaf | Senior Full Stack Engineer | Full-time | REMOTE | UK, Germany, Spain, Romania

Overleaf (https://overleaf.com) builds modern collaborative authoring tools for scientists — like Google Docs for Science. We have over 18 million registered users from around the world. Our primary product is an online, real-time collaborative editor for papers, theses, technical reports and other documents written in the LaTeX markup language. It’s used by around 600,000 people each day and hosts over 100 million projects.

We’re looking for Senior Full-Stack JS Engineers who are comfortable with backend and a bit of frontend, frontend and a bit of backend, or a balance of both.

Some reasons you’d enjoy working with us:

- You’ll be working alongside a cross-functional team, including designers, product managers and developers, to help Overleaf become the go-to place for scientific writing.

- Much of our code is open source, so you’ll often be working on open source.

- Remote is a first class citizen; all staff work remotely. We get everyone together 2–3 times each year for valuable face-to-face time.

Aren’t you the guys who had core hours deep into the evening for your Romanian colleagues but not for yourselves? Hello again!


I applied for a similar role a few months ago as I've worked on a similar tech stack and product, are you open to people reapplying?

Those are some really bad core hours - what gives? Having to mandatory work until 18 (in Germany) or 19 (Romania) sounds like a nightmare in terms of work life balance/family life.


Fair point - perhaps we differ in our definition of "core hours". For us, core hours are a reserved period for our global team where people should be available for meetings and any important team discussions. This isn't a commitment to being at your desk and working those hours every day. We have many team members across Central and Eastern Europe who we trust to balance their work and life in a way that works for everyone.


I'm with kioleanu on this.

Before covid and being in office - "core hours" meant you needed to physically be in office during those hours on almost all days - basically all work days except occasional doctor/dentist/signing-contract-to-buy-house/sick type of situations. And had flexibility to come in earlier or stay later.

In your case it seems to be the same definition of core hours.

Or this "trust to balance their work and life" means it would really be OK for someone to say something like "I'm regularly pick up kids from school/daycare during those last 2 core hours"?


Oh no, we have the exact same definition and honestly I find it obscene that the UK office, assuming you, gets to end the day at a decent 5PM while colleagues towards the east have to completely sacrifice 5 evenings a week.

I don’t even want to go into that last sentence.

If you are true about caring about people’s work life balance (which doesn’t seem to be the case), there is only one option: core hours in the middle of the work day. This way you accommodate both people who are early risers and the ones that start up later in the day.

Your Europe page states "only open to candidates in Germany, Spain, Romania, the Netherlands or Denmark". Is this correct? I genuinely cannot imagine what would motivate that selection of countries.


This is because we are part of Digital Science (https://www.digital-science.com/) which currently has a corporate presence in those countries (plus the UK).
