Obie | YC S19 | Senior Full Stack Engineer | Chicago, IL | REMOTE | Full Time

Obie is looking for passionate, talented senior software engineers to join us with experience in Javascript, React, Typescript, Node.js, GraphQL and unit/integration testing. A small pivot in our journey has led to a strong product-market fit and we are moving quickly to build something incredible.

If you own a building with leases to tenants, you need insurance - whether the economy is growing or not. It is also an industry that has not evolved to use modern technology: workflows are manual, communication is messy and time-consuming, and people often don't know what they're buying or why they're buying it. Obie sells commercial real estate insurance in a new way: one that emphasizes transparency and human-centric automation.

We are a venture-backed technology company. Our early success is in large part due to our unwavering standards in hiring. We recognize that our product is only as good as the people building and promoting it. We look for individuals who find solutions by going through the cycle of ideation to implementation with curiosity, rigor and a highly analytical lens.

At Obie, we judge people based on the merit of their work. If you are passionate about what this role entails, are excited by solving real problems, and you want to help shape the future of commercial real estate, we want to hear from you.

We're based in Chicago, have an office in Florida, and remote employees across the US and Canada.

We welcome US/Canadian based remote applicants, but be warned: we'll try to persuade you to move to the City by the Lake.

Email me directly for more info or to set up a chat! Would love to learn more about you: Rebecca at r.geier@obierisk.com
I suggest that in every comment, you add “author here” or similar to make that very clear, because it isn’t always very obvious from your comments.
Time travel to the UNIX world of early X Windows days.

> You'll get a "Is this you?" popup in your phone or tablet whenever someone uses your username and password in a new device/browser/application.

I have two different concerns.

The first is that I frequently end up having to clear my browser cookies, for a variety of reasons. Every time I do, I have to redo the 2FA dance, on every single website that requires 2FA. I suppose I could find a different cookie management strategy, but I think it's good for both privacy and security to treat cookies as semi-ephemeral.

Secondly, I’m concerned that I'll either loose or replace my 2FA device and forget about the account until it's too late—again, I’m much more concerned about losing access to my account than someone else getting in. I would almost certainly loose any physical backup codes.

I also have a fantasy that I'll give up my smartphone one of these days, or at least not bring it everywhere I go. I’ll probably never do it, but the idea is such that I don't want to depend on an app for access to my account. I do think I’ve successfully made myself less dependent on my smartphone than a lot of people, and I’m proud of that accomplishment.

> Personally, I'd be most afraid of making it complicated enough that HR has to get involved.

That doesn't sound like a little company that doesn't have an HR and legal department. That sounds like a bureaucratic headache of a big company. You seem to want to have your cake and eat it, too.

Why do you try so hard to make it sound so complicated? If you can't explain the job responsibilities in one paragraph with a salary range, you are broken. Admit that you are broken. You aren't afraid of HR. You are afraid of looking like you don't know what you are doing because you don't know what you are doing.
That just means Austria has a huge supply of labor relative to demand. A low number for minimum pay indicates that employers are not having to compete to attract candidates, which is a sign to sellers of labor to sell a different type of labor. If a whole country is like that, then they have bigger problems to solve.

Your suggestions about revolution lack any specific actions, your suggestions about immigration are simply way to get killed.

“Lol just figure out how to overthrow heavily militarized government” is completely ignoring the obvious truth that this is simply impossible. It was probably possible some years ago with support from abroad, but the only thing international institutions cared about was cheap natural gas and oil, so they ignored violations of international law and treated Putin as a lawful president. So now we have decapitated opposition, silenced media (just today two independent media were banned) and 2% of Russians serving in police and military. It stops any seeds of revolution from ever growing.
Because they feel they can get away with paying you less if you live in an area with a "lower cost of living". It's a way for the company to extract more value from the employee without having to pay the employee what they're actually worth.

Remember: you are an asset to the company only worth what you're willing to fight to be paid for. A company will pay you the least amount of money they can to keep you.

If the job is not remote or has on-site duties the argument becomes moot.
I remember a few years back there were people who were encouraging to upvote job postings that showed salary ranges and downvote posts that didn't. Including a "friendly reminder" post in the who's hiring threads. Whatever happened to that? It seemed fairly effective. In fact, I thought the who's hiring template was supposed to have a salary range

To Indian commenters on HN, how much of that is true? Do you feel threatened when a coworker asks about where you are from? It's something I do ask from time to time (not during interviews obviously, but during lunch for example) out of pure curiosity. Should I stop?

I guess that I should explicitly add that I am not from India. Cross-cultural communications can be a bit difficult at times and I'd rather not make blunders like that.
More lines of code = more liability. Also more commits, frequency of commits etc. does not equate to more productivity. In fact in some instances you actually are introducing more liability into a codebase doing that. The flaw with most of these metrics of "productivity" is that they inherently are saying that coding is analogous to a factory worker building something when in reality it is analogous to someone designing the things the factory worker has to assemble.

While I'm not a fan of subjectivity in ratings, the challenge is that it is very difficult, and I would argue, virtually impossible to do it objectively. So what happens instead is that when metrics are used to evaluate engineers, the smart ones figure out how to game them. Does that make them, or the team more productive? Nope. Can that have un-intended consequences that actually make the code less stable, and decrease productivity. Yup!

But if you're going to go with these measurements you might as well go big. Throw out anything related to Agile, require estimates that are accurate within 15 minutes and severely punish engineers for not getting estimates right. Might as well also add in heavy documentation requirements too. After all, this rigorous measurement etc. has all worked so well in the past <dripping sarcasm for this last paragraph>.
Maybe recommending it? I get the first comments resistance based on the variety of posters, having any requirements isn't really enforceable anyways.
> Btw I should add that you’re making the right decision DS is a bad career for reasons I won’t get into here.

Can you tell us more?
We have a goal, but there is a limit to what we'll sacrifice to achieve it. It's no more complex than that, and definitely not hypocrisy.

Less scrupulous companies doing that might but be all bad because they can be called out.

With no salary range, there's nothing to call then out on.
If nobody is supposed to react to it, then what is your irrelevant "fact" doing in this (or any) discussion?
"I think most people don’t realize that 'IV' numbers are the annualized volatility of the log process, so there’s a nonlinear conversion to non-log standard deviation."

Hmmm, yes. I think most people don't realize this.
Well is the person we hire a new grad, a junior, a senior, a principal? Do they have Kubernetes and Terraform experience and can help with devops work or is their experience breadth limited to app dev? Do they have experience in security, particularly OWASP rules and the like? Do they know linux or only macos?

Every one of those combinations is gonna get a different offer. We have a set budget that is limited by donations and we need to cover all of those skillsets. It would be awesome and worth a lot more to us to find one jack-of-all-trades, but probably that wont' happen. It definitely won't happen if I post 4 different job descriptions as though it's set in stone that we hire 4 separate people.
I've most commonly seen a for year, so Ga for a billion years. Not sure who'd standardize this, does the SI have a guideline or standard for years?

Either way, ya is indeed confusing.
no company, especially of the multi-national and/or publicly traded variety, has any qualms about doing business with any body.

if you think otherwise, youre kidding yourself.

companies are incentivized to have qualms through a mix of legal measures and risk assessment of backlash.. then once the "correct" choice is made, they make big PR statements about their allegiance to utilize it to empower their brand.

every company who has supported green endeavors or BLM would support a party of Nazis if it was in their benefit. The line from Amazon to IBM isn't that far.

they are not your friends. theyre not allies in your cause. they are not conservative or liberal. they are not moral or immoral.

they are amoral and greedy.

You were just talking to one that said they want to fight DC? I’m pretty sure they have more to worry about.
Baseball has a rapidly-dissolving semi-religious status in the US (losing some ground to the NFL), and its owners definitely don't get it. I think it's mostly gone after '94 anyway. My personal guess is that its popularity is correlated with family size.

As soon as that is able to reliably show PDFs and ePUBs with decent battery life, I'll probably get one. My phone is too small for some reading content, and the remarkable tablets lack a frontlight.
> I suppose it ensures that if the recipient isn’t using TLS with SMTP then it’s not sent unencrypted over the wire, …

I discovered setting up an old IP camera recently that it’s now very hard to send an unencrypted email via SMTP. Nearly all servers refuse to relay unauthenticated emails (no username and password), and only permit authentication if the connection is SSL or promoted to SSL via STARTTLS (ie encrypted).

(I mention it because the camera wouldn’t cooperate or tell me what the problem was - ended up having to learn Wireshark and read the relevant RFCs re Authenticated SMTP).
My most recent car I bought at about a year old with 15k miles. It turns out it had previously been in a massive front end collision and the dealership described it as a "fender bender". The bumper and plastic under the engine starting falling off, parts started falling off that were clearly just glued on with gorilla glue, closer inspection in the engine bay showed a ton of bent metal structure, the paint color on the front of the car started to clearly not match the rest of the car after it had been exposed to sun for a year, the alternator died after a year and after removal it was clearly a really cheap non-OEM replacement. This was all from a reputable Toyota dealership in a major city.

Not sure I want to go through this process again and may just buy new in the future.

Those who aren't paying attention, anyway...

In Canada, we just went through a 10-day period where, in an afternoon, the government casually made it retroactively illegal to have supported a peaceful cause -- and began locking up peaceful, law-abiding citizens' bank accounts.

In Russia, citizens have been instantly locked out of international financial transactions, and non-local currencies have become unavailable. It is likely that further, dramatic interventions in ingress/egress of wealth are forthcoming.

In China, random decisions regarding the legality of Cryptocurrencies are regularly enacted. Huge businesses doing legal, ethical mining are one day accepted, and the next -- made illegal.

Sorry, but anyone who doesn't find this worrisome is ... naive, for lack of a more charitable term.
Is the claim on this that the Audi can't go 30% over, but the Toyota can? or the other way around.

The nicest car I've ever owned is an Acura. Others include Ford, Hyundai, and Honda, and I've been pretty bad at routine maintenance, but I've never had any mechanical issues as a result.

Are premium car brands really so fragile? If so why would you recommend buying them if they're less durable? Seems like a rip off to me.
What's particularly interesting is Statsig essentially separated the concept of "A/B test" from experiment. Compare https://statsig.com/features/feature-gates and https://statsig.com/features/experiments

I think this isn't just marketing; I think this reflects a deeper understanding that you can do A/B testing on top of a feature flag and not consider it an experiment. It's an innovation that reduces inter-organizational strife on the decision to launch a feature to all users, i.e., ship.

If everything with automated metric analysis is considered an experiment, then the shipping decision only be made after analysis is performed. That leads to tension when Product Managers have already decided to ship and will only rollback if something hurts their metric. Data Scientists will then question why their "experiment" is only running for a day, and then question the decision to ship entirely. You can imagine how many meetings a misdefinition spawns.

The sooner you address these definitions, I think the happier you'll find your enterprise users.
>We're also not naturally vaccinated.

Sure we are. How do you think we get natural immunity? Ever heard of Chicken Pox parties?
I dunno, I care very much about increasing the number of BTC I have because I believe that though the price is variable, the trend is up over time. I study and try to employ everything from dollar-cost averaging to loan platforms with interest, to bitcoin-backed long positions. I don't think I'm the only one who thinks this way.
For the exact same reason you will find a lot of videos claiming that Ukrainian military shot down MH17.

It's not just that one case. Everything in react is like this. I find react code hard to reason about because this type of friction exists almost everywhere. Solid is what I always wished react was, but had a hard time articulating.
Meh, it's like this:

You have values. Then you have types.

You can modify values, you can't modify types. If you want to modify types, then you need a third thing, let's call it 'kinds'.

Then if you want to modify kinds, then you need a forth thing. That's when you realize oh, why not just have types be same as values - you've now arrived at dependent types :)

If you're curious about this sorta thing - play with Idris (the language) for a few days. It's the most approachable dependent type system in a friendly package that I've seen.
There's an entire class of products I'll name "internal platform tools" whose primary objective is to improve the developer experience with the intent of having the side effect of increased developer productivity by making it easier & more enjoyable to build things within a company. The teams working on these tools need to understand how their products perform the same as a team building some widget for a "paying" customer.

Without some quantifiable metric, how do these teams know if their products are getting better or worse? The discussion always goes to measuring developer happiness & developer productivity because we want with some degree of confidence to be improving or at least maintaining these metrics.
If you make a performance recording of the page, you can then select the main thread, open event log, and filter by "Layout". You won't get a summarized overview, but you can see the layout root for each entry, which will show you what caused the layout update. For complex pages with numerous parallel animations, you might need to filter this data more, but for example in the article we're discussing right now, manual checking quickly reveals where the layout updates are coming form.
I think us currency alternatives got a bump. It shows the importance of gold reserves and integration with Chinese and other financial markets
So where's the line? How much scientific evidence must we suppress to avoid offending reactionary sensibilities?

The fact that climate change is human caused is deeply political in the US. Should the IPCC suppress this fact too to cater to a tiny minority of science deniers?
