**This is a HIRING post (with a few personal thoughts that may make you ponder too!)** Being a non-technical founder, there always seems to be challenge of lacking technical talent to bring our vision to life. (Arguably) Today's founders are more privileged, thanks to low-code and no-code solutions that let us build prototypes without a CTO or tech team. But, moving from the flaw-ful first version prototype to the next stages—testing, listening to users, iterating [...cycle repeats]—still takes time. Technical talent is invaluable, and we need the skilled, passion-aligned ones to elevate EduCrate to the next level. We're on a mission to create the ultimate platform for connecting like-minded pals, graduates, and experienced educators in IBDP education. The vision is there—are you the tech talent we are looking for to make it a reality? Key words about the role: Full-stack development; Computer science degree or related field; Industry experience; Expertise in Recommender Algorithms, Machine Learning, and AI; Equity is negotiable. 👉 More in comments. Feel free to chat with Ching Yeung Fung or myself (Sally Lo) :) Oh, and if you have tips or insights on how to build a tech team from scratch (or from the opposite point of view—how tech talent find and decide on opportunities to work at a startup), would love to hear them in the comments so everyone can benefit!

My not so "hot" take on the future of tech hiring: 1. Enabler not a replacement For the foreseeable future, AI will play the role of an enabler and won't replace engineers. The tech while progressing at a great speed, needs to stabilize. A de facto standard for the industry needs to emerge before there can be mass adoption, till then it will create excitement but not meaningful impact. 2. Demand has not really decreased While the pitch is that each company will need fewer engineers than before, the accessibility of tech has meant that traditional companies that were absolute outsiders of the tech world have also become really serious about it. So, the pie has just become much larger and will continue to increase. 3. Mediocrity will not survive As ever in the world of tech, every few years the average moves up significantly. This means mediocre developers are replaced by tools - this will continue to happen. Quality talent will continue to have a market. 4. Software development is more thinking than coding In the end, developing good software development is a mix of creativity and solid problem solving, not just writing code. What's more, it has an aura of intimidation. That's why even NoCode tools were majorly adopted by those who were already in the tech industry - most others didn't upskill and instead helped give birth to NoCode agencies. With AI too, I expect a similar future for the foreseeable future. Anyway, this is as uncertain as the industry has been in a while. So, you have to be prepared to be proven wrong. #startup

Hey there! Hope your week is going well. 🐫 Exciting news: I recently made my first hire at Cedar! 🎉 We had an incredible pipeline of talent, and happy to say that two engineers from the initial search are in final rounds for another team with a similar role. It’s been an incredible journey connecting with talented engineers and helping to round out an amazing team, and we need to add one more very important role. 💡 I am leading a new search! A REMOTE Staff Engineer/Tech Lead for Ethan Romba's team, the Staff Workflows squad. Link to the role and video from the hiring manager in the comments. I wanted to give more clarity on what we really need. This is a full stack role but A'OK if leaning backend. Polyglots welcome, super great if Python and Typescript are a strongsuit. What you can demonstrate in your experiential stories to interviewers: ✔️ Ability to take the lead and drive ambiguity out of a project ✔️ Experience with rapid prototyping - this project will involve a lot of pathfinding ✔️ Experience working with emergent technology and ability to make crisp recommendations to business leaders ✔️ Experience with vendor integrations with bonus points for co-development and R&D ✔️ Experience partnering closely with design, data science, and PMs ✔️ At least some demonstrated interest in AI/ML/LLMs. Could be coursework, blogs, personal projects, etc…. Doesn’t have to necessarily be professional experience, but we’d definitely take that ✔️ Ability to independently decompose large projects into consumable tasks for more junior developers, and solid mentorship experience ➡️ On the AL / ML / LLM bullet. We are moving to AI driven services, and this hire will lead the integration. It's more than an incredible bullet on your resume, although that's there. It's a phenomenal opportunity, and a very enjoyable environment. As always, I answer DMs when I can, and I do enjoy the interaction. If you're interested in a different role at Cedar please apply directly! I don't work on all of them. ⛔ No agencies. If not one has told you lately, you are awesome.

💥 A recent market report by Katherine Bindley of the WSJ captured the strange state of the tech job market: a simultaneous boom and bust. ❓ The booming field of AI is creating thousands of jobs, yet widespread layoffs and struggling startups persist. This sparked interesting conversations with hiring partners and candidates: is AI replacing tech jobs, or creating them? My take? It's a mixed bag. 👉 On one hand, AI tools like Github Copilot might allow founders to achieve the same coding and product development with fewer engineers. While this increases efficiency, it's worth considering potential downsides like code quality or reduced developer ownership. 👉 Reversely, AI creates a whole new category of jobs. Skilled engineers are needed to design, train, and perfect this technology. The challenge? Finding truly experienced and qualified candidates for this crucial work. 📈 As with any innovation, AI's adoption will have both positive and negative impacts. It will likely continue to offer abundant opportunities for top talent, but also presents a chance for everyone to upskill and embrace new specialties in the coming years. 💭 Would love to hear others thoughts on this, and your personal experiences in the job market as either a candidate or Hiring Manager in the comments. #AIImpact #StartupJobs #EngineeringJobs #AIAdoption #TechStartups
