RedLine Solutions is hiring a fully remote mid-level C#/.NET developer. We are looking at an early September start date. I'm posting this way ahead of time to try something weird: If you are an interested developer, please do NOT contact me directly. Instead, find someone who will vouch for you and have them send me your resume`. I do NOT need them to write a full-on recommendation--a simple, "Ross was a great developer and fun colleague. You should check him out" will be fine.

1. Please make sure your contact information is on your resume`!

2. We need a developer located within three hours of Pacific timezone.

No, I'm not on some kind of power trip (yet). I just got my fill of automated application spam a long time ago; the tales I could tell. This is my modestly creative attempt to circumvent the AI's. Might be good practice for SkyNet, eh?

We are not looking for a know-it-all. Instead, we desire a "wants to learn it all". We're a small company, but our System Architect / Dev Lead is seriously a unicorn. If he mentors you for a year or two, your career is golden with or without AI. Back in the day, I secretly believed I was one of the best around. Then I worked with Stephen. I've learned a ton from him, and I'm his boss.

We're a small, agile, creative and laid-back team who work hard but value work-life balance. I take great pains to make it so. If you're smart, work hard, and love writing software, ask a friend or former boss to vouch for you and have them send your resume`.

Here's a link to the official job listing:

What size of investment are we talking about? If it is significant in size you might want to look at getting in as an angel at angellist.com.

I'm kinda surprised you haven't been inundated with spam, honestly. :-)

Other than 9 months of grey skies and drizzling rain, it is perfect. However, a short 2 to 3 hour drive eastward brings you into brilliant sunshine 300 days per year. I've chosen to live in the east half of the state. :-)

Thanks for posting this, Pitaroua. It is really well put and important stuff for people to know.
