Hey r/Developers,
I’m sourcing for a remote Software Engineering Expert role with micro1.

Important note: this is not a junior role, and it’s not a standard feature-building position. It’s best suited for senior, staff, or principal-level engineers who are strong at debugging complex systems, making architectural decisions, evaluating trade-offs, and advising teams in ambiguous situations.

Role: Software Engineering Expert

Type: Contractor

Location: Remote / Global

Rate: $100–$300/hr

You’d be involved in:

- Technical advisory calls

- Architecture and scalability decisions

- Debugging ambiguous production/system-level issues

- Reviewing advanced engineering / AI-related work

- Designing sample technical tasks for client-facing workflows

- Explaining complex technical tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders

Strong fit:

- Senior/staff/principal-level engineering experience

- Deep production debugging background

- Strong architecture and system design skills

- Experience making tradeoffs around scalability, maintainability, and business constraints

- Clear written and verbal communication

- Good judgment and prioritization under ambiguity

- Ownership of high-impact engineering work

Bonus:

- Technical consulting or advisory experience

- AI/automation / enterprise-scale systems exposure

- Open-source work, technical writing, talks, or public technical contributions

- Experience guiding teams through complex launches, migrations, or technical transitions

This is for engineers who operate beyond implementation , people who can reason through messy systems, diagnose root causes, and give practical technical direction.

If interested, DM me with:

1. LinkedIn / GitHub / portfolio

2. Your strongest engineering domain

3. One short example of a complex debugging, architecture, or system tradeoff problem you’ve handled

I’ll share the application details with strong matches.

Hey,

I’m working with a team to develop a cross-platform desktop system (Mac and Windows) that runs continuously in the background and tracks user activity with high precision in real-time.

This is not a typical CRUD/web role.

We’re dealing with:

• real-time event tracking (keyboard, mouse, app usage)
• background processes and system-level behavior
• offline-first data + sync
• performance + memory constraints in Electron apps

Tech:

• Electron.js
• Node.js / TypeScript
• Cross-platform (MacOS + Windows)

Compensation

$70 – $110/hour (depending on experience)
$150,000 - $220,000/year

What we’re looking for

• Experience building production Electron apps
• Strong understanding of performance optimization in desktop environments
• Worked with event streams / real-time systems
• Comfortable reasoning about edge cases, system behavior, and failures

Not a fit if

• You’ve only used Electron for simple wrappers
• No experience with performance-sensitive or long-running apps

Why is this role interesting?

• System runs continuously → correctness matters
• You’ll work on low-level behavior, not just UI
• Real constraints: CPU, memory, OS differences

If this sounds like your kind of problem space, comment or DM with:

• one system you built (especially Electron / real-time)
• What kind of load or constraints did you handle

I’ll share more details + next steps.

Hiring a senior JavaScript engineer for a systems-heavy desktop application.

Compensation: $150k–$220k/year

This is NOT typical web dev work.

You’ll be working on:

• cross-platform desktop app (Electron)
• background execution + OS-level interactions
• offline-first sync
• performance optimization

Looking for people who’ve built real systems, not just UI.

If you’ve worked with Electron or a similar, share your work (GitHub/portfolio).

Looking for engineers who’ve actually shipped Electron apps in production.

Compensation: $150k–$220k/year (or ~$70–$110/hr equivalent)

This is NOT a typical JavaScript/frontend role.

You’ll be working on a cross-platform desktop system (MacOS + Windows) that runs in the background and handles:

• real-time event tracking
• offline-first data sync
• background processes
• performance + memory optimization

What matters:

• strong Electron.js experience (production apps)
• solid JS/TypeScript + Node.js
• understanding of system-level behavior (not just UI)
• ability to reason about edge cases and reliability

This is NOT:

• React-only work
• UI-focused frontend
• beginner-friendly

If you’ve built real desktop apps or worked on systems-heavy JS projects:

Comment or DM with:

• what you’ve built (especially Electron/desktop)
• your stack
• GitHub or examples

Will share full details directly.

Hey recruiters of Reddit, I need your insight on something that keeps happening.

Whenever I post a job ad, I include a few must-answer questions to save everyone time (e.g., years of experience, salary range, remote vs. on-site preference, etc.).

Yet, I still get DMs or comments that say only:

• “I'm interested.”

or

• a lone LinkedIn/GitHub link with zero context.

Lately, I’ve started ignoring these messages completely. My logic: if someone can’t spend 30 seconds answering basic questions, that’s a red flag for communication and attention to detail.

My questions for you:

Is straight-up ignoring them the right move, or am I being too harsh?

How do you personally handle these “minimal-effort” replies?

• Do you follow up and prompt them again?

• Do you treat it as an auto-reject?

Have you ever ended up hiring someone who initially gave such a bare-bones response? If so, what changed your mind?

Would love to hear your experiences and any tips you might have. Thanks in advance!

I’m looking for a UX/UI Designer to work on AI-driven web applications.

The work is focused on designing clear user flows and usable interfaces for complex systems, not just visual screens.

• Admin dashboards with real-time data

• AI tools with multi-step workflows

• Interfaces where users interact with structured data (filters, tables, states)

Details:

• Remote

• Contract-based

• Flexible hours

• Rate: $15–$85/hr (based on experience and assessment)

How to apply:

Send me:

• Portfolio (with case studies preferred)

- Writing advanced multiple-choice questions (algorithms, ML, systems, security, etc.)

- Making sure questions are precise, unambiguous, and actually challenging

- Reviewing existing questions and improving their correctness and clarity

- Writing clear, step-by-step solutions

This is closer to designing good exam problems or competitive programming-style thinking than typical CRUD/backend work.

Requirements:

-Strong CS fundamentals (algorithms, systems, ML, etc.)

- Comfortable reasoning through problems deeply (not just coding solutions)

- Able to explain solutions clearly in written English

Nice to have:

- Competitive programming (Codeforces / ICPC)

- Research background (MSc / PhD or similar depth)

- Experience with ML or systems at a deeper level

Details:

- $35–$75/hour

- Fully remote, async

- ~10+ hrs/week

If this sounds like your kind of work, send me a DM with:

- Your strongest CS area

- Any relevant work (GitHub, Codeforces, publications, etc.)

I’ll check fit and get back to you.
