Are you open to hiring junior fullstack engineers who are eager to learn?


Nice to see Jam dev here!

Jam dev is awesome, I used it in the last work company, but I only have 2+ years of Frontend experience!

Hope you can find the right person!


Jam.dev | Staff Fullstack Engineer & AI Product Engineer | Typescript/React | Remote (+ in person in SF, Austin, NYC) | Full-time

Dev tools company with 125,000+ users in less than 2 years. $10M in funding from Vercel CEO, GitHub CTO, Cloudflare CEO, etc.

We’re building a flight recorder for web apps – so anyone can report issues to engineers in a way that's actually debuggable (w/ console, network, websockets debugger, etc).

Small, senior team – several ex-engineering directors turned ICs (mostly ex-early Cloudflare). Looking for staff-level engineers with experience building highly performant front-end apps.

Stack: React/Typescript and MobX (MST) on the frontend, and Node/GraphQL across our backend.

The challenge ahead: Scaling. Usage 10x’ed last year, and our users are in 176 countries, on all sorts of devices, network conditions, etc. Our bar for quality is high.

This is false. I am one of the co-founders of Jam. We hired 3 engineers who applied to us because they saw our post here. We don’t post here for advertising.


I have multiple reports from people who applied and didn't hear back. Can you share some data of how many applications you received and responded to?


(Not related to the company) Isn't it pretty normal to never hear back unless they want to schedule an interview?

Especially after the last two years with hundreds of thousands of laid off devs, companies are probably flooded with applications.

It's nice when they have a form letter, even nicer when a real person takes the time to reject you, but I wouldn't expect either as a matter of course.


We receive a lot of applications. But most people don’t qualify because we are looking for a specific skill set. Very few people make it to the initial phone screen and then a subset of them end up in the following rounds. I just looked at our typeform and found that we received 54 (72 the month before)submissions during the week when we posted on HN. (As they don’t specify how they found out about us in the Typeform, I am making an assumption here that 100% of the people who applied during that week was from HN).


So the ones who do not match the narrow skill set you are looking for do not get any response if I understand correctly?

Would that number be 90%?

Also 54 is not a lot. Consider responding to all candidates at your scale which is still very tiny.

Github gets a much larger number of applications (1000s) and they still respond with a lot more details about why they reject people.

I work with a lot of mentorship and coaching of young tech folks and this can drastically improve how people think of you.


>the ones who do not match the narrow skill set you are looking for do not get any response if I understand correctly?

That's been sadly common even before the "seller's" market took a nosedive. It's to the point where I don't consider it "ghosting" despite understanding others who call it that. I just feel you need to exist before you can "ghost", and many jobs may as well not exist.

But hearing a 90% rate from a pool of 60 applicants is still a bit depressing.


The concern was about how many you responded to.

We try our best to obfuscate potentially sensitive/private data on the client side.


Just the reporter. Metadata + screenshot / video / instant replay. You can download the videos.


[I work at Jam]

Thank you for the kind words, Matt! If you ever want to go back to that world, shoot me an email at i@jam.dev. We are always hiring!


[disclosure: I work at Jam]

Yes! I think that's a great idea.


+1 great idea!
