Friendly Captcha | Software Engineer (Full-stack) | REMOTE within EU | PART-TIME or FULL-TIME | Office in Munich, Germany | https://friendlycaptcha.com

At Friendly Captcha we do one thing and we do it well: we protect websites from malicious actors and bots.

We provide privacy-friendly and accessible anti-bot solutions that don’t annoy users with tasks like clicking fire hydrants. We make the internet a bit better every day by winning over customers currently using Google reCAPTCHA.

We’re a fast-growing, profitable, fully bootstrapped company. Our revenue mostly comes from medium to large European enterprise and governments.

A great fit would be someone who contributes across the entire stack, and prefers to keep things simple (perhaps boring is the right word even?). Good knowledge of the web and browser APIs is useful in this company. At our scale we are looking for generalists more than specialists.

Our engineering team is fully remote across Europe, we meet up once per quarter or so. You can work either 4 or 5 days per week, fully remote or (partially) from our Munich office. Please note that we ONLY consider candidates located within the EU.

Stack: Golang | Typescript | Clickhouse | Postgres | Redis | Python ML/data science stack

When you say remote within the EU, does this also include countries like Norway, Switzerland, and the UK?


It includes the countries in the EEA and EFTA, which does not include the UK. For the UK we can make an exception for the right candidate.

In 2017 I was hired through HN (although it was through "Who's hiring"). It was for an internship at a startup in a different country. Later that startup got acquired, and then the acquiring company went through its IPO.

I'm not sure if I would have been invited to interview without it (no MIT or Oxford on my CV), so I am glad it existed.

Now that I am posting on "Who is Hiring" for the company I founded: we see high quality applicants for engineering roles.

Hi Shaeq and Samrose - congrats on the launch! Matano looks great.

Out of curiosity, at some point I believe you were working on a predecessor called AppTrail whic tackled (customer-facing) audit logs, it was something I was interested in at the time (and still am! I would've loved to use that).

Would you perhaps be willing to share your learnings from that product, and (I assume) why it evolved into Matano?


Thank you! Yes with AppTrail we wanted to solve the pain points around SaaS audit logs but since it was a product that needed to be sold and integrated into B2B startups rather than the enterprises that felt the pain points and needed audit logs in their SIEM, we couldn't find a big enough market to sell it.

We realized that the big problem was that most SIEM out there today did a poor job with pulling and handling the data from the multitude of SaaS and Cloud log sources that orgs have today, and decided to build Matano as a cloud-native SIEM alternative :)

The best fit for this role would be someone who prefers to keep things simple and reliable (perhaps boring is the right word even?), who can contribute across the entire stack. We’re a small team which means you will inevitably wear different hats.

The format is only partially invented, it follows Jupytext [0], but adds support for cell metadata. There is no obvious way to get that in fenced codeblocks, especially with the ability to spread it over multiple lines so it plays well with version control.

One more consideration is that it's not "Markdown with code blocks interspersed", one might as well use plaintext or AsciiDoc.

Of course there are tradeoffs.. I wish I had more time to work on it.

Thanks for the clarifications. I still don't like it, but I understand.


One can speed up the AssemblyScript implementation by using StaticArray and adding unchecked() around the indexing - this makes it some 25% faster.

Further by using the smallest stub runtime (= without garbage collector) one can drop filesize by around half, making the smallest implementation even smaller (4.7kb -> 2.8kb uminified). Quite some of that code is the random initialization.. if you do that in JS it may just be smaller than the plain JS implementation.

And still it's a flawed comparison, ASC is using a stable sorting algorithm (with a comparator function). It's difficult to compare approaches based on such small benchmarks, what's really being compared is the built-in sorting algorithm and the bundle size overhead of the different languages.
