Our World In Data (YC W19) | Senior Full Stack Engineer | Full-Time | Remote
At Our World In Data (https://ourworldindata.org), our mission is to make the world's biggest problems understandable, so that we can take effective action on them. We publish research and data on crucial topics like poverty, disease, hunger, inequality, war and climate change.
We want to improve several aspects of our site in the coming years, with a particular focus this year on making it easier to author and share smaller formats than our long articles, and creating a more unified way to explore our most complex data sources. Our tech stack is a Jamstack site built using Typescript, React, MySQL and Cloudflare services with a Python based data pipeline on the data side.
We are a remote-first team that operates on EU timezones. As a team, we're also passionate, talented, and driven to do work that makes a difference.
I love the job description, but won't apply because the instructions on how to apply are too weird: "Attach these as two separate PDF documents with the filenames: '<your name> CV.pdf' and '<your name> Cover Letter.pdf'". Why? Do you want to automatically parse the applications and need structured data? Then why not developing a form with actual inputs? That's akin to asking the applicants to send their data in JSON format in the emails' body.
Nushell actually pairs really well with JC, given that nushell has a "from json" operation. I recorded a video some time ago that shows a few nice features of Nushell and I bring up combining it with jc at around minute 19: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF5dtxVsn1E
