I spent the effort to de-google a several years back and switched to Proton. After years of being on Proton, I recently switched back to GMail.
It didn't really make my life any better. And at this point, I think I see more value in having AI be able to piece together information to serve me up useful information than trying to protect my privacy within email (I couldn't get off Google Photos, it's just too useful).
Bonside | Senior Full Stack Engineer | New York City (NYC) | Onsite few days a week | https://bonside.com/
Bonside is an NYC-based fintech startup providing financing to brick-and-mortar businesses (https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/07/bonside-growth-capital-bri...). We are looking to hire an experienced full-stack engineer to join as a founding member. Bonside has already deployed over 5 million dollars to brick-and-mortars in less than a year and is on track to more than double that in the coming months.
The team is currently 8 people and focused on hiring curious, ambitious, and thoughtful teammates. This opportunity presents a strong growth trajectory for a skilled engineer who will be instrumental in building delightful software, the architecting of systems, and the scaling of the engineering team. The company is at an exciting inflection point with a variety of interesting engineering challenges that include data engineering, an investment marketplace, and brick-and-mortar specific software. This role will work closely with our Head of Engineering (prev. Netflix).
