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:

  1. 🏒 Company

    • Vision & Mission

    • Where we are
