WMinus careers

Six positions. Five are made up.

The real one is last. Whether that is a filter or just bad design is for you to decide.

Maintainer, Legacy Billing

Not a real position. Applications get read anyway.

One service, written in 2019, by someone who no longer answers email. It has never failed. That is the problem: nobody left here knows why it works.

  • Reads code that has no tests and no author
  • Will not rewrite it in the first month
  • Can defend a decision you did not make
  • Free on the first of the month
Apply anyway →

Arch Linux Updater

Not a real position. Applications get read anyway.

Full time. You run the update every morning and read the wiki when it breaks. The position exists because it broke.

  • Reads the news before updating, not after
  • Keeps a second machine on the last kernel that worked
  • Can chroot in from a USB stick without raising your voice
  • Does not bring it up in the first meeting
Apply anyway →

Estimator

Not a real position. Applications get read anyway.

You are handed one sentence about a feature and you produce a number. The number will be wrong. The role is about how it is wrong.

  • Multiplies by three without changing expression
  • Has watched an estimate turn into a deadline
  • Says 'two weeks' at most once per quarter
Apply anyway →

Flaky Test Investigator

Not a real position. Applications get read anyway.

Test 47 fails about one run in nine. Always in CI, never locally. It has been retried, quarantined and retried again. You find out why.

  • Reproduces things that only happen at 03:00 UTC
  • Will not add a sleep
  • Comfortable with the answer being the clock, again
Apply anyway →

Spreadsheet Archaeologist

Not a real position. Applications get read anyway.

A client runs their operations on one file. Forty sheets, four hidden, and a macro that emails a supplier every Tuesday. We are replacing it. You work out what it does first.

  • Reads formulas the way other people read stack traces
  • Finds the one cell that somebody types in by hand
  • Understands that the file is not the problem, the file is the documentation
Apply anyway →

Engineer, in-house

This one is real.

About eleven people in Slovenia, hiring regularly: software, web, AI and robotics, all in-house. No subcontractors to hide behind, which cuts both ways.

  • You build things and you can show them
  • You are fine working out what should be built, not only how
  • Range over specialism: web people end up near machines here
  • Students and early-career people included, genuinely

None of these fit?

Send something you built. A repository, a link, a thing that runs. A CV is fine too, it just gets read second.

The office cat has reviewed this page and left.

Five of the six positions on this page are invented. The company is not. WMinus is a software solutions company in Slovenia, everything in-house, hiring regularly. If you are good, we would like to hear from you.
