Yearning for impact?
The traditional outsourcing model isn’t ideal for developers in developing countries, so Austin Software helps Latin American developers grow their careers directly on US tech teams.
Although talented devs are distributed all over the world, the best opportunities are localized in only a few places. Our mission is to ensure Latin American developers can get direct access to, and thrive in, the best tech companies in Silicon Valley.
Join us as a Developer Coach / Developer Advocate and help us coach developers on how to interview with US tech teams and then mentor their long term growth on US teams.
How you’ll make an impact :
- Interview US teams to find out what kind of skills they need
- Vet developers for opportunities in the US
- Create a curriculum to prepare developers for US tech team interviews
- Create ongoing tech workshops to help developers grow their careers on US teams
- Be a sounding board for developers with architecture reviews, code reviews and advice
- Write technical blog posts and collaborate with the marketing team
Sounds Interesting? You should apply if :
- Tech interviews are easy for you, you’re the kind of person that could work anywhere you like! But.. you’re ready to have a meaningful impact in people’s lives beyond code deliverables
- You’re interested in advocacy, leadership, coaching, mentoring and education
- You’re an accomplished engineer, staff level or above at a major company, and you’ve delivered on the world's most interesting large-scale systems, and now, you want to help others do the same
- You’ve mastered a few web technologies like Node, React, Databases, AWS and you’re eager to teach
Who we are :
Austin Software started three years ago because the traditional outsourcing model is broken. Outsourcing companies view the world through projects.
They multiplex developers between projects, they are evasive about what they actually pay developers, and they are too interested in pricing risk and maintenance contracts.
We realized that we didn’t want to work with outsourcing companies, and neither did our colleagues. All we needed was logistical support in Latin America to build our team.
We didn’t find any service that satisfied our criteria, so we built our own.
Three profitable years later, we’ve helped unicorns, YCombinator companies, and VC backed companies de-risk growth by incorporating Latin American developers directly on their teams as first class teammates.
We’re not alone in our vision, we have the same key investor as AirBnB, Docker, Heroku, Gitlab that share our vision for the future of work in Latin America.
Join us to help democratize access to great opportunities around the world.
