Linio | DevOps Engineer | Fort Lauderdale or Mexico City | Full-time | Onsite or Remote (US only)
Linio is the biggest ecommerce platform in Latin America. With 16 stores in 8 countries, our sellers have access to a huge market of over 300 million people. In order to make this great platform run smoothly for customers and sellers worldwide, a very talented technology team is required. Our scale, by itself, increases the difficulty of many challenges that companies face everyday. Some of our key aspects:
Almost all free and open-source alternative have terrible UIs and crappy UX. And some have shitty content too.
However, that content is done by volunteers just like you, and if you refuse to contribute because something puts you off, then the project dies. Imagine people with the same mindset as you: Oh, I don't bother contributing my design skills because the content sucks. And you don't contribute because design sucks. In the end, no one contributes and the project, as a whole, suffers.
But if the project suffers, you and everyone else, lose to corporate offerings like Google. And that is fine, if you like that. But don't expect them to respect you. I hate to say this, but change has to come from within, not from laws, market forces or anything else.
So, if you want LIBRE maps, and you really care about that, just go on and do it. Gather people, make noise and work hard. There's thousands of highly successful projects to get inspired by.
I used to do that until two rentals broke down, the second being quite scary and leaving me and my family stranded. Hertz and Sixt. Do you have a local rental place or something?
With my own car, I'm constantly keeping an eye for everything + regular maintenance.
This way, devs can run the engine with base assets and I can even add some e2e tests to make refactoring easier.
