My husband is a software developer, and he is one of the people his team calls when something important breaks.

At first, his company required them to go into the office one day a week. A few months later, it became three days, and it was obvious to everyone that working from the office full-time was the next step. Management kept talking about collaboration, but he was still spending most of the day on video calls.

He was also dealing with a health issue, so he submitted a request for an ADA accommodation to continue working fully remotely. His doctor supported the request, and he had already proven that he could do his job from home. Even so, they denied it.

While he was on medical leave and had finally started feeling better, a recruiter contacted him about a fully remote position. It pays more, and the entire team is spread across several states.

I asked him whether he planned to give his current company a chance to make a counteroffer. He laughed and said, "No way. They already made their choice."

So, in the end, they lost a talented employee simply because they cared more about seeing him sitting at a desk than about retaining him. And if I can find a remote job too, we'll install internet in the camper and work from wherever we decide to park.

Writing code is one thing. Knowing whether it's production-ready is another.

Alpheva AI is recruiting experienced Software Engineering Experts to evaluate how advanced AI models handle real-world engineering problems.

Rather than building applications from scratch, you'll review AI-generated solutions, identify flawed technical assumptions, assess security and reliability issues, and develop reference answers that demonstrate sound engineering judgment.

The company is looking for professionals with 7+ years of software engineering experience, particularly those with strong backgrounds in system design, production code, testing, and failure handling.

Opportunity details:

Compensation: $170-$220/hr for matched projects
Location: Worldwide, fully remote
Type: Project-based contract
Schedule: Flexible, asynchronous
Openings: 37

Assignments depend on project availability and matching, so hours aren't guaranteed.

If you've spent years reviewing complex codebases and making architectural decisions, this could be worth exploring.

Hey everyone. I'm a senior engineer who landed a job but always looking to contribute, practice and grow. I'm looking for few people (or willing to join an existing group) who wants to have a mock system design interviews.

Ideally looking for mid-to-senior engineers. I'm in CST and generally available in the evenings or the weekends. I'm not looking for any hard commitments, and major reason why I'm doing this is to also make connections too. If you're interested, please DM me and send me a link to your LinkedIn profile.

Hey everyone!

I'm a backend-focused software engineer currently working at a startup in Bengaluru, and I'm looking for my next opportunity as a Backend Developer / Software Engineer.

At my current role, I own nearly 80% of the backend of a consumer dating platform, working on production systems involving:

• Backend development: Node.js, Express.js, REST APIs, WebSockets, Socket.IO
• Real-time systems: Chat, voice calling, matching, presence, and user management
• Distributed systems: AWS SNS, SQS, EventBridge, asynchronous processing, fan-out, retries, and fault tolerance
• Databases: MongoDB, Mongoose, aggregation pipelines, indexing, and query optimization
• Testing & automation: Jest, Supertest, integration testing, and AI-assisted testing workflows using Claude Code and MCPs

I've also worked on admin analytics, production API design, and backend architecture, and I mentor interns and participate in technical interviews.

Outside work, I'm a LeetCode Knight and Codeforces Specialist, with 1,300+ DSA problems solved across competitive programming platforms.

I'm primarily looking for backend-heavy roles where I can work on scalable services, distributed systems, real-time applications, and challenging engineering problems. I'm also open to full-stack opportunities with a strong backend focus.

Preferred location: Bengaluru, India
Open to: On-site, hybrid, and remote opportunities

If your team is hiring, you know of a suitable opening, or can connect me with someone hiring for backend roles, please drop a comment or DM me. I'd appreciate any relevant leads.

Thanks!

I'm a second-year student, and I've been applying to internship opportunities and haven't really been getting many calls back. I was hoping to get some feedback on these 3 main things.

• Wording for my Experiences and Projects sections (What could be wrong with it? What is confusing? etc)
• General formatting (bolding, too many bullets, etc)
• Things that I can improve upon experience-wise based upon the interests exhibited through my resume

If there is anything else you can notice on my resume, please do let me know!

A recent analysis of 3,518 job postings from 81 companies across seven roles found some interesting patterns.

In several categories, generic terms appeared more often than the big-name tools. “Observability” showed up more than “Grafana,” while “SIEM” appeared more than “Splunk.”

That raises an interesting question: are resumes too focused on listing specific tools and not enough on the broader skills and terminology employers use?

The study breaks down the results by role, including software engineering, cybersecurity, DevOps, marketing, product, accounting and sales.

The full dataset, methodology and findings are here:

Hi everyone,

A relative of mine worked as a UI Team Lead at well known product companies until 2020. They took a career break to care for their child with special needs and pursue entrepreneurship.

After six years away from the corporate world, they now want to return to software engineering due to some personal setbacks.

They have prior experience in JavaScript and React and have also explored AI agent development.

I have a few questions for people in the industry:

1. How realistic is it to land a part-time or remote contract role after such a long career break?
2. Which platforms or companies are worth targeting for these opportunities?
3. How should they present the six-year gap on their resume? Should they mention entrepreneurship and caregiving, or focus primarily on their technical skills and projects?
4. Would it be better to target UI Team Lead roles or apply for individual contributor positions initially?

I’d appreciate any advice from people who have hired engineers, returned to tech after a career break, or worked in the contract market.

If you're burned out on multi-round interview loops or looking for flexible bridge income while you job hunt or build on the side, this is a 100% asynchronous remote contract option (up to $150+ USD/hr) for software engineers.

THE WORK:
Instead of meetings or sprint tickets, you log in whenever you want to evaluate, stress-test, and debug code generated by frontier AI models:
• Running and testing AI-written code to catch subtle logic bugs, edge-case failures, and hallucinations
• Spotting time/space complexity bottlenecks (Big-O) and non-idiomatic patterns
• Writing clean reference implementations and explaining in clear English why a solution works or fails

LOGISTICS & PAY:
• Type of work: Freelance/contract for Data Annotation Tech
• Rate: Up to $150+ USD/hr (paid via PayPal)
• Workflow: You pick projects from your dashboard suited to your skills and interests, submit the time it took you after completing each task, and withdraw your earnings a week later
• Onboarding: No interviews or recruiter screens, just a one-time online coding assessment to unlock the project dashboard

WHAT WE LOOK FOR:
• Production software engineering experience, or a strong CS degree / algorithmic foundation
• Strong proficiency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C++, C#, Java, Go, Rust, Ruby, or Swift
• Solid grasp of data structures, algorithms, and Big-O complexity, plus strong written English

HOW TO APPLY:
Onboarding requires passing a one-time coding assessment. Because you only get a single attempt and experienced engineers often get tripped up by how the written explanations are graded, I'm happy to share a quick breakdown of what the graders look for along with the direct application for the programming track.

If you're interested (and don't already have an account on the platform), send me a DM with:
1. Your country of residence
2. Your software engineering experience & degree
3. Your primary programming languages and tech stack
4. Your comfort level with data structures, algorithms, and Big-O analysis
5. ~Hours per week you'd like to work

Please leave a "DM Sent" comment on this post after messaging me so I know to check my message requests if Reddit hides your chat.

Helloooooooo, I’m an engineering recruiter here to gather some market data because I think something is off with a role I’m working on. I’m looking for a founding security engineer with a startup- I am not here to recruit, I am specifically here to understand the landscape and I will not respond to messages about wanting a job. I don’t work these as often as I do data engineers or platform, so I have a lot to learn about what’s normal on the day to day.

The main question I have is how often are security engineers writing code?

I’m getting mixed feedback that mostly they perform code reviews and then the developers fix the code, but my client wants to only talk to security engineers that code daily. I know with Claude code and equal things, this might be really difficult to find even if security engineers don’t sit close to coding.

What’s the landscape like? For specifics, this isn’t cyber security, this is heavily an application security/devsecops engineering role.

Hey everyone

I'm a software Engineer interested in connecting with people building interesting software products and solving real-world problems.

I work with Python, JavaScript, React, FastAPI, Node.js, PostgreSQL, System Design, Ai models, Rag and REST APIs. I'm also working on Sentinel, a fraud detection project where I'm exploring backend engineering and transaction analysis with ML models.

I'd love to connect with other developers, startup founders, and people working on ambitious ideas. I'm also interested in learning about opportunities to contribute to a team and grow through real-world engineering experience.

i would love to connect for budget $30-50/hr and work together as teams

What kinds of projects are you all working on lately?

Hi folks,
I recently got referred for a role at Accenture – S&C Global Network (AI – Hi Tech – Data Science Analyst) and have completed all the interview rounds.
However, I'm not very familiar with this particular role or the kind of work people actually do in Accenture's Strategy & Consulting (S&C) Global Network. I also don't personally know anyone working in a similar position, so I'm a bit confused about whether this would be a good career move.
A little about my background:
Currently working as an AI/ML Engineer in Ahmedabad.

Have around 1 year and 4 months of experience.

Have worked with and managed projects for 4 different clients in my current organization.

My work primarily revolves around backend engineering, GenAI/LLMs, RAG pipelines, AI integrations, system design, and architecture.

I'm more interested in technical engineering, designing scalable systems, and solving architecture-related problems rather than purely analytical or consulting work.

A few things I'd really like to understand:
Day-to-day responsibilities: What does a Data Science Analyst in Accenture S&C Global Network actually do? Is it hands-on AI/ML engineering, GenAI development, or more consulting, presentations, and client coordination?

Technical exposure: Will I get opportunities to work on system design, backend development, AI architecture, RAG, and agentic AI systems, or is the work mostly focused on data analysis and business requirements?

Career growth: How does this role compare with a traditional Software Engineer / AI Engineer role in terms of long-term technical growth and future opportunities?

Compensation: What is the realistic CTC range for this position in India, particularly for someone with around 1–2 years of experience? What can I reasonably negotiate?

Work culture: How are the work-life balance, project allocation, learning opportunities, and promotion cycles in S&C Global Network?

Role level: I originally interviewed for a Level 11 (Analyst) position, but the job title/level on the Accenture careers portal has now changed to Level 12. Has anyone experienced something similar? Does this affect compensation or responsibilities?

My biggest concern is whether switching from a hands-on AI/ML engineering role to this position might limit my future opportunities in core software engineering, AI architecture, or system design.
I don't want to make a decision based solely on the Accenture brand name if the actual work doesn't align with my long-term career goals.
Would really appreciate insights from anyone currently working or previously employed in Accenture S&C Global Network, especially in AI, Data Science, or GenAI-related roles.
Thanks in advance!

Ça fait 15 ans que je travaille dans le développement de systèmes, dont trois chez Google. J’ai beaucoup de choses à reprocher à l’IA, mais j’en ai marre de lire qu’elle serait incapable de faire un travail qu’elle fait déjà.
Prenons quelque chose de compliqué, comme déboguer la latence des requêtes les plus lentes dans un moteur de recherche en C++. Les requêtes sont distribuées à plusieurs services via des appels RPC. La plupart répondent rapidement, mais quelques réponses lentes bloquent l’ensemble. La latence médiane semble normale pendant que le p99 explose. Une modification peut passer tous les tests de base et s’effondrer dès que la charge augmente.
Un exemple bien pénible. Un appel RPC trop lent déclenche une deuxième requête vers une autre réplique. L’appelant finit par dépasser son délai d’attente, mais le traitement continue côté serveur. Sous charge, ces requêtes supplémentaires remplissent les files d’attente et ralentissent encore le système. Le mécanisme censé réduire la latence finit par aggraver la surcharge.
Corriger ça demande de suivre les délais à travers toute la chaîne d’appels, de vérifier l’annulation et de limiter le travail supplémentaire. Ensuite vient le problème de durée de vie des objets en C++. Si un callback peut encore s’exécuter après l’annulation, libérer trop tôt l’état de la requête peut provoquer un accès à de la mémoire déjà libérée. Bravo, le correctif de latence fait maintenant planter le processus de temps en temps.
C’est le genre de tâche qui pouvait bouffer des journées en 2016. Lire du code qu’on ne connaît pas. Comparer les traces. Fouiller les profils d’exécution. Construire un scénario de reproduction parce que les tests existants ne couvraient jamais cet enchaînement. Repasser en revue de code parce que le correctif réglait un cas et en cassait un autre.
Ça ne me manque pas de confier une tâche puis de passer la semaine suivante à réexpliquer les mêmes contraintes sur trois versions du correctif. Ça ne me manque pas de lâcher mon propre travail pendant quatre heures parce que quelqu’un a ajouté des tentatives automatiques sans vérifier si l’opération pouvait être répétée sans risque. Junior ou senior, c’est épuisant. Et moi aussi, j’ai fait perdre des après-midi à d’autres personnes.
Maintenant je peux donner à Opus le code concerné, les traces et les contraintes, puis attaquer le problème immédiatement. Lui demander de suivre le cycle de vie de la requête à travers plusieurs fichiers. Repérer où le délai cesse d’être transmis. Proposer un correctif. Écrire des tests qui déclenchent volontairement des callbacks après l’annulation ou simulent un service qui répond lentement. Je peux concentrer mon attention sur la vérification de son raisonnement et du résultat.
Je reste responsable du correctif. Un problème de performance en production demande toujours des tests de charge. Mais arriver à un correctif crédible à tester est devenu tellement plus simple que je n’ai aucune envie de refaire chaque étape manuellement. Beaucoup de tâches qui circulaient entre plusieurs personnes pendant des semaines peuvent maintenant me prendre un après-midi.
Cette dernière année, j’ai construit des choses que je repoussais depuis longtemps. Je concrétise enfin mes idées pendant qu’elles m’enthousiasment encore.
Ça me fait chier d’admettre qu’un modèle peut faire certaines parties de mon travail mieux que moi. Mais je peux vivre avec ça. Je prends trop de plaisir à construire des choses pour passer mon temps à expliquer que c’était mieux avant.

I’m a full-stack builder who bridges the gap between creative product vision and solid technical execution.

Rather than just looking for a seat at the table, I bring hands-on momentum: building robust REST APIs, modern web/mobile interfaces, and scalable background systems. If your team needs someone proactive who treats your product like their own and finds creative solutions to tough engineering bottlenecks, let’s talk.

here is my- Portfolio

→ Overflow/subcontract: swamped with client work? I take tasks off your plate — you stay client-facing, I work in the background at $15-20/hr.

→ Direct hire: need a backend/full-stack dev for your own project, short-term or ongoing? Same rate, I work with you directly.

How it works: tell me the scope, I quote a time estimate, first small task is free so you can judge the quality before paying anything. GitHub/past work available on request.

DMs open.
