What is the salary range?

Yeah, I applied on 7/25, got the automated response, and then nothing. It's possible they passed on my resume, which is certainly their right. But I feel pretty confident that my resume warrants at least a first interview for that position. 🤷

Or maybe they just got a lot of applications? A good problem to have if so!

Or at least a no would be good

So... no EU.

Splash is fantastic to work for! Great culture, minimal bureaucracy, lots of freedom to make the right technology choices.

@invertisment_clojuria What country are you located in?

Lithuania; Currently at UTC+2/UTC+3

Let's find some time to chat! We can set up a PEO in Lithuania. I have a close friend in Chicago from Vilnius. Please shoot me an email at <mailto:dmarcano@splashfinancial.com|dmarcano@splashfinancial.com> @invertisment_clojuria

@dmarcano Out of interest - why not work with people from pretty much anywhere via contracting, without hiring?

Contract employees are different because they are "outside" of the company and they're considered temporary. They also don't add up to company's valuation as they're treated differently for tax purposes. So if they'll set up an entity and then control it to do full employment then it's probably different for them. These may not be the reasons why this company is doing this though. I simply heard this kind of idea from one of my previous coworkers.

Is there any way to hire people from Brazil?

Yes we can hire in Brazil @d.ian.b @p-himik Hi Eugene, right now we are set up for perm hiring vs contracting but something we may took to in the future

I started at Splash a few months back and am really enjoying the team and the company as a whole so far. More than happy to answer questions that folks have about working here.

Are there any good "a life in the day of a Fintech software developer" resources / videos/ blogs?

Is hiring from the UK a possibility?

This is the third company I've worked at full-time and by far my favorite!

Everyone is happy about the job application but the problem is that I got this happy public treatment and nobody actually replied to my application. It's a sad practice.

I noticed that this happens way more often with overly excited hiring people who basically say "I can do anything for you" (especially publicly) rather than with ones who approach the problem more pragmatically and down-to-earth. Most of the time the "explosive advertisers" work as external recruiters and for them it's important to build excitement so that the candidate could endure the internal recruiter's wrath. But sometimes the internal recruiters also do it for some reason. I don't get why an internal recruiter should act more like a salesman rather than a recruiter. I guess they just want to have a financing round and this is a way to pretend that they really have good... climate? I don't see another reason. I don't see a point in explosively advertising a position because in this chat group they can literally pick a person blindly and end up with a good candidate. It's Clojure, not JavaScript...

I think I don't want to work in a company where fake excitement is a way to do things. I came here for engineering and not for acting. I.e. that's a red flag for this company.
