To apply for this job... ~~~ Please Submit Your Sample Source Code ~~~ Please provide us with some sample source code you have created in the past in Lisp or Ruby or Python or Perl or C++ or Java or some other language. However, please do not submit source code have created in PHP. ~~~ Please Submit Your Monthly Rate ~~~ Please bid the monthly salary you require in US dollars for working 200 hundred (two hundred) hours per month. ~~~ Repeat: Please Submit Your Sample Source Code ~~~ Yes. We mentioned above that we want you to submit your sample source code but many candidates don't bother submitting their sample source code to us initially. Therefore, we'd like to persuade you to submit your sample source code to us along with your bid. If you bid your monthly rate but fail to submit sample source code to us then we will send you a personal message via GetAFreelancer in which we request you to submit sample source code to us. We will also be mildly annoyed with you because we will feel you have needlessly wasted our time. Please understand that if we merely know how much money you want to earn we will not have enough information to decide whether or not you seem like a good candidate. We need to get an idea of how well you write code. ~~~ $30 Test Project for you on GetAFreelancer ~~~ If the source code you submit to us is good enough and if your salary requirement for working 200 hours per month is low enough, then we will create a small $30 test project just for you on GetAFreelancer. Therefore, please save us time and yourself time by submitting source code to us along with your bid for working 200 hours/month. ~~~ Work whichever hours of the day you prefer ~~~ We will permit you to work any hours of the day you prefer. In other words, we do not care which hours of the day you work. ~~~ More about your sample code ~~~ Regarding your sample source code, perhaps you created the code 2 weeks ago, 2 months ago, or even 2 years. If you are worried that by submitting the sample source code to us that you may be violating something like a client confidentiality agreement or non-disclosure agreement for source code you created as a "Work for Hire" then you may submit merely a snippet of the source code, not the entire source code. We are not looking to steal anyone else's software. Not at all. We merely want to review a sample of code you have created in the past so we can properly judge the quality of your code. Please don't copy and paste your sample code into a GetAFreelancer Personal Message (PM) because the indenting will be lost. Instead please attach your sample code into a GetAFreelancer Personal Message (PM) so that the indenting will be maintained. Please do not package your files in Visual Studio or any other framework. Your files must be available individually and not packaged (except as, say, a .zip or .rar file). We have had trouble in the past with tests that candidates have submitted C++ which they created with Visual Studio. The software architect normally uses Linux and Macintosh but not Windows. Please make it easy for the software architect to review your code. ~~~ About You ~~~ We are currently looking for 1 or 2 or 3 very clever, full-time software application developers (not mere coders) to work with us for at least a year but hopefully longer. ~~~ About Us ~~~ We have many challenging new development projects that we need help with (no maintenance). If you remind us we'll tell you more about us if we like your source code ~~~ Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL) ~~~ You must develop software for us using Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL) [login to view URL] Our development server runs Apache and mod_lisp. ~~~ But I don't have any Lisp experience?!? ~~~ Of course, we assume you have practically no experience developing with Lisp. We know that very, very few developers use Lisp. Therefore, we recommend you review "Practical Common Lisp" [login to view URL] and "Common Lisp HyperSpec" [login to view URL] ~~~ Lisp? Why Lisp? ~~~ Why did we choose Lisp? Isn't Lisp almost, well, almost a dead language? Sort of. We realize that Lisp is hardly used in software development except by a very small group of elite software developers. We chose Lisp for one simple reason: we believe it is the best tool available for building most of the software we need. In other words, we think Lisp is a great language. If you study Lisp we suspect you'll think it's a great language too. ~~~ Are you sure you want to use Lisp? Really? ~~~ Yes. We did not inadvertently or naively choose Lisp. Not at all. We very carefully weighed the pros and cons of various languages and chose to use Lisp. ~~~ If you prefer to use Java or .NET ~~~ If you prefer to use Java or .NET then you definitely should not apply for this job. We do not like those languages at all. We feel strongly that those languages are like diseases. However, we do not mind if you currently develop in one of those languages and, like a refugee from a war zone, are seeking to escape. ~~~ If you prefer to use Perl, Python, and Ruby on Rails ~~~ Even though we like and respect Perl, Python, and Ruby on Rails, if you prefer to use one of these languages then you should not apply for this job either. We know Perl is for the old-timers, Python is what they use at Google, and that all the cool kids these days use Ruby on Rails. We are not trying to be "old school" [login to view URL] or to be like Google or to be cool. No. We are attempting to develop great software. ~~~ Clever and Eager Autodidacts Wanted ~~~ You must be willing to teach yourself Steel Bank Common Lisp. We will *not* pay for you to learn Steel Bank Common Lisp. You must currently have a *reliable* high speed Internet connection (DSL, Cable, T-1, etc). ~~~ Employee Benefits? None. Zero. ~~~ We will provide you with no benefits whatsoever. No medical benefits. No paid holidays. Nothing. But we will pay all fees you will be assessed to receive your money, such as fees charged by GetAFreelancer and ATM machine fees. ~~~ Taxes? We won't take out any taxes. ~~~ We will not withhold any taxes from your compensation whatsoever nor will we report your earnings to you local tax authorities. That will be your responsibility alone. ~~~ 10 Day Probationary Period ~~~ Except for the initial 10 day probationary period (during which we will only permit you to work 2 hours each day), we will pay you daily for the work you completed. Therefore, you will not need to, essentially, extend much credit to us. In other words, normally you will only need to trust us to pay you for one day of work. ~~~ The 50 days following the 10 day probationary period ~~~ During the 50 days following the 10 day probationary period, we will allow you to work as few as 2 hours each day but may allow you to work up to 10 hours per day. In other words, after the 10 day probationary period we may allow you to begin working full-time with us. We will not require you to begin working full-time during this 50 day period. Why? Because we realize you may currently, for example, have a full-time job which you probably don't like, but at least "pays the bills." ~~~ After the first 60 days you must work 200 hours per month ~~~ However, after this 50 day period, we will require you to work 200 hours each month with us. Therefore, if you currently have a full-time job or other commitments which would interfere with you working 200 hours each month with us, then within 60 days after you begin working with us you will almost certainly need to quit your current job and/or abandon your other commitments. In other words, after the initial 60 day period we are not interested in working with you on a part-time basis. We are only willing to work with you on a part-time basis for the initial 60 day period so that both you and we may become confident that we should work together on a full-time basis. Please do not apply for this job unless you are willing to work 200 hours each month with us after you complete the initial 60 day period. In other words, we realize that many software developers reviewing the opportunities on GetAFreelancer are looking for part-time work. After all, this website is called GetAFreelancer not GetAnEmployee. However, if you are looking for a "side job" or some part-time work to supplement your current income and are therefore hoping to work, say, 50 to 100 hours per month, then please do not apply for this job. We are only interested in working with candidates who will be willing to work 200 hours each month with us after they complete the initial 60 day period. ~~~ What about vacations? ~~~ We do not provide any benefits whatsoever. None. Zero. Nothing. Of course we know you'll take vacations. Immediately below we describe how you would not be paid for vacations you take. ~~~ Paid daily for each hour you work ~~~ We will actually pay you for every hour you work, not a set monthly rate. We would allow you to work more 200 hours per month. For example, if you were to work 250 hours in one month, then you'd be paid for 250 hours. Of course, if, say, you were to take a vacation and therefore only worked 50 hours in a particular month, then you'd only be paid for 50 hours for that month. To determine your hourly rate we will simply divide your monthly rate by 200. However, except when you are sick or go on vacation, you must be willing to work 200 hours per month. And no, you may not take 4 or 5 "vacations" per month in order to work, say, 75 hours per month so that you can keep your current full-time job, stay in school, fulfill your military service, etc. You must be willing to work 200 hours per month. If you work more than 200 hours per month we'll pay you more, but if you work less more than 200 hours per month we'll pay you less. We are not a paternalistic organization. We won't "take care of you." We are interested in a simple and straightforward contractual relationship in which we pay you for each hour you work and in which you commit to work 200 hours/month. If you want a job with any sort of typical benefits such as paid vacations, medical care, retirement pensions, etcetera this is not the job for you. We are going to pay you strictly by the hour. If this approach seems too brutal or callous or unforgiving we suggest you get a "regular" job with a "regular" company.
