COMPANY/PUBLICATION: DEV SPOTLIGHT

We are hiring software and DevOps engineers!

ADVANTAGES OF WORKING WITH DEV SPOTLIGHT

Get paid to do what you love

You enjoy writing, so why not get paid for it? This will let you write more often, put more effort into each piece, and cover topics you wouldn't have had time for otherwise.

Impact millions of software developers and DevOps engineers

Help give back to the community by sharing what you know. Our content has been read by millions of developers and our hits are top-ranked in Google and on the front page of online communities like Reddit and Hacker News.

Use the latest technologies

You'll work with the latest technologies and trends, which is a fun way to grow your skills. Due to our short project cycles, you'll deliver work in weeks and get more variety in your work. No more unrecognized time spent on maintenance, fighting fires, or projects that get cancelled after months of effort.

Improve your communication skills

Writing is essential for advancing your career to architect, principal or director level because more people read what you write. It allows you to influence a larger number of people. Practice is the best way to improve.

Build your portfolio and gain recognition

Most of the work for traditional developers is confidential, making it hard to gain recognition or showcase your skills. By publishing your work with us, you build your own brand as an expert. When the community loves your work, it's a great feeling! On the other hand, if you prefer to keep your privacy, ghostwriting is still an option.

The freedom of remote work

Our company is 100% remote, so you have the freedom to work from home, or rent a personal office, and set your own schedule. You can work during business hours or nights and weekends. No more long commutes, open-plan offices, fixed working hours, or relocating to high cost-of-living areas. We hire the best people wherever they are.

CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that Dev Spotlight pays $600 per article. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor/employer before commencing work.
