Overleaf (www.overleaf.com) | REMOTE | Full Stack Dev & Business Facing Dev

We're looking for two new developers at Overleaf, which is an online LaTeX editor with over 2 million registered users. We help academics collaborate more effectively and make LaTeX easier to work with.

We work mainly with Node.js and Rails, CoffeeScript, ES6, Docker and a plethora of other interesting tech.

We recently acquired ShareLaTeX.com and are merging the 2 platforms into Overleaf v2, there are a lot of interesting projects coming up such as building a WYSIWYG editor for LaTeX, improving the compile times for LaTeX as well as a host of collaboration features we have planned.

We are also interested in hearing from any developers who would like to work closely with the business team, this can include things such as running experiments, optimising how our blog, templates, documentation are managed and modified, talking to the technical clients and potentially going out on sales meetings.

* Around 75% of our code base is open source and we’re big fans of free software

* We’re agile (with a lower case a). We test everything (unit and acceptance), we have a CI build process, a full staging environment to play with, and we automate as much as possible.

* Working hours can be flexible to your needs. Applicants in or near GMT preferred.

* Remote is a first class citizen, all founders and employees work remotely with a London base. Every few months we get the entire dev team together in London.

Love LaTeX, but more a Perl dev, than Ruby or JS. No experience at all on Ruby, but used to JS (browser side). Also, love C, for what that might be relevant :-)

I am an OpenSource enthusiast, using Git (lab and hub), and working my first steps in CI.

I've been using ShareLaTeX since it was born. Lately, using OverLeaf, mostly to try to understand what is the best for my needs.

I live in Portugal, with same timezone as London. At the moment I am teaching (my background is academic life), but given the difficulties on getting a real "contract" on Universities in Portugal, I am planning to change my life. As I stick to my commitments, I would only be able to work full time on next September.

How likely would Overleaf be interested, given my background? I can send a full CV, but it is prepared for academic purposes, with the list of all publications and other stuff that usually are not relevant to industry.

Would love to exchange some ideas on collaboration possibilities.

Best, Alberto http://github.com/ambs ambs@cpan.org
