Lessons learned from reviewing 100+ jobs on the Refactoring board, and from 10+ years of engineering hiring.
Hey 👋 this is Luca! Welcome to a 🔒 weekly edition 🔒 of Refactoring.
Every week I write advice on how to become a better engineering leader, backed by my own experience, research and case studies.

In July this year I launched Refactoring Jobs to provide an effective way for readers to find high quality, remote engineering jobs.
Since then, I reviewed hundreds of positions. I talked with tens of companies to understand what they were looking for, and to help them write a better job post.
I saw which performed better or worse, got feedback from readers, and drew some conclusions. I have also hired engineers for 10+ years myself, wrote very bad job posts, and made all mistakes imaginable.
In my experience, the very best jobs are clear and exhaustive about these areas:
🏢 Company
Vision & Mission
Where we are
Culture
🎽 Team & Position
About the team
Responsibilities
Tech stack
Salary range
🔢 Application Process
