Careers page edits

  • Not super urgent
  • Lead with benefits to job-seekers rather than mission
    • Mission statement after the positions
  • Mission statement doesn’t ring true to me. Is the mission for my mom to use EdgeDB directly? Our mission is to build the database developers love to use.
    • Current sounds like the masses are dumb
    • Try a rewrite
  • Can we offer some compensation transparency?
  • More detail about benefits
    • It’s huge that you pay the entire health insurance premium. We should tell people!
    • How much time off?
  • Culture
    • compassion? humanity?
      • These are bundled up with some of the others we already mention, but they’re not quite the same either. I’ve felt strongly since I came on board that the team is compassionate and that they see me as a human being, not a human resource.
      • Add this
  • Uses old branding (colors)
  • “Some projects you might work on” in TypeScript engineer description is awesome. Would love to see that brought to the other roles. (Happy to write some for the dev advocate.)
