A·Team is a VC-backed, stealth, application-only home on the internet for senior independent software builders to team up with hand-picked, high-growth companies on their next big thing.
After talking with hundreds of independent engineers, designers, and product folks, we heard over and over that finding vetted, high-quality, consistent clients is hard, and projects are often too small to be rewarding. A·Team matches small teams of the most talented builders in the world with companies backed by a16z, YC, Softbank, General Catalyst, etc. on a contract basis for many of their most important initiatives. We quietly launched in May 2020, and have helped A·Teamers earn $11.4+ million since.
As part of A·Team, you can expect:
High-paying, meaningful missions with the most audacious companies sent your way; generally $110-$190/hr, with vetted, fascinating clients doing work that matters. We're picky about who we partner with; new clients only come in via trusted referral. We've worked with Lyft, McGraw Hill, ClearCo, irl.com, the former CEO of Waze, the leading vaccine production software, several new unicorns we can't say here, and dozens of startups backed by a16z/YC/Softbank/etc. Work alongside friends old & new: our niche is small/diverse product teams, since clients with larger budgets and higher-impact work tell us they want teams, not individuals. Of course, we keep friends together whenever we can. Full autonomy: say "no" to things that don't excite you. The most talented builders often juggle a few things at once, so there's never pressure to join an A·Team mission if you don't have the bandwidth. If we're no longer a fit, it's easy to leave or pause too. Small, curated, off-the-record gatherings: for conversations hard to have elsewhere. Long-term, we're creating micro-communities for the world's top builders to become friends around the things they care about. Keep 100% of what you earn: if you charge $130/hr, you get $130/hr. A·Team makes money by charging a small, flat, transparent platform fee on top of your rate.
How to apply:
Go here: https://build.a.team/remotivereferral + mention Remotive. No resume or cover letter needed; we respect your time so the application is short. We're also much more interested in seeing what you've made, and excited to chat more if there’s a fit.
What you’ll do:
Once part of A.Team, you’ll regularly be invited to impactful missions that match your interests, which you can accept or decline. Take your pick from early-stage incubations with world-class founders, to fast-growing super-funded companies, to old school non-tech incumbents looking to build as a tech giant would
Missions usually involve building an ambitious piece of software from 0 to 1 as part of a small 3-4 person team.
You’ll be paid to scope it out, give the client options, guide strategy, and execute on the selected solution. Sometimes the client has a clear vision, sometimes not; which is why A.Team builders tend to be senior folks who can work together to find the right direction.
Who A·Team is for:
Senior software developers who left large companies and high-growth startups to pursue their craft with autonomy.
Those who prefer consistent contract work over a full-time role, who want to create a variety of new products alongside other top-tier builders.
The majority of A.Teamers spend most of their time doing independent work, but a sizeable percentage are either employed full-time (but testing out client work), bootstrapping a side project, or looking for their next big thing
Who A·Team is not for:
People looking for small gigs
Folks looking to build simple wordpress/wix/squarespace-style websites
Those still early in their careers and recent university/bootcamp grads (at least not yet)
Our long-term vision:
A·Team is a new type of company for a new kind of independent software builder. We call them "unhirables": people who traditional companies couldn’t hire full-time even if they wanted to, but who want to do their most meaningful work with their favorite people in small, autonomous, distributed expert teams.

Are you an ambitious PHP developer who is looking for a truly challenging role in a growing dev team? Do you wish to use your coding superpowers for a good cause and help improve the lives of millions of people around the world? Do you want to work with a team that values your insights and contributions to a dynamic product with an exciting future?
This is a rare opportunity to work exclusively with senior-level PHP devs in a diverse, highly organized, result-driven environment where you can thrive personally and professionally. We’ve gone above and beyond to carve this role into a unique dev position, where all the things that made your previous job suck are gone:
Here, you’ll never have to advocate for the importance of investing in code quality - our founder is a coder himself, and our elegant code is the vein that keeps the IxDF healthy and growing. We understand how critical your superpowers are, and don’t believe in making our dev team work on pointless tasks, nor suffer the consequences of technical decisions being made by people in other departments (we know you’ve been there). Instead, you’ll work on stimulating projects in a healthy, collaborative environment where your ideas and time are valued. You’ll be involved in decision-making processes which means there are incredible possibilities for you to take initiative and grow here. In fact, it’s encouraged! Traditional hierarchies don’t lead to brilliant, effective outcomes, so we’ve thrown them out.

This is a paid full-time position and is fully remote so you can work from anywhere! You will have regular video-based contact with your colleagues and get to meet them physically on team trips a few times per year.
You will join our back-end team, which is constantly improving our main product — a web application with online courses, bootcamps and community tools. The architecture is a multi-page application — an MVC-based, modular monolith using Laravel as a back-end framework. It was started back in 2013, and since then we’ve relentlessly increased code quality, features and test coverage, and are proud to say that we have almost zero legacy code or technical debt. We believe a modular monolithic architecture can reach a level of perfection where it’s superior to a micro-service architecture — despite an ever-increasing number of features.
How have we achieved that?
Robust conventions: IxDF PHP conventions, IxDF Laravel conventions, IxDF JavaScript conventions, naming, etc.
Well-automated CI with code quality tools: Psalm (errorLevel="1"), PHPStan (level: 7), Rector, PHPCS, PHP-CS-Fixer, Deptrac, phpcpd, ESLint, etc.
Regular pull request review sessions
All front-end code built using reusable well-documented IxDF UI Kit.
PHP 8.1 and Laravel 9 (always the latest versions)
Vanilla JavaScript (incl. Web Components) and Vue.js for Laravel Nova
Server: Docker, nginx
DBs: MySQL, Redis
Testing: PHPUnit, Laravel Dusk, cypress.io
Cloud: Amazon S3, CloudFront
CI/CD: GitHub actions + Deployer
You will be working with several teams: Back-end devs, front-end devs, designers, content and product managers, as well as our founders, who are also actively involved in the processes. You will work most closely with our back-end team, which we are extending from 4 to 7 senior engineers.
Your main responsibilities will be to:
Help develop back-end of the interaction-design.org platform: new features, refactorings and (rarely) bug-fixing.
Write clean and maintainable back-end code (incl. our open-source projects and external packages we use).
Communicate with other teams to clarify specifications for new features and improve existing ones.
Keep documentation up to date for code you create and change.
Constantly increase test coverage (we use PHPUnit, Laravel Dusk, cypress.io, and we love TDD).
Participate in refactoring and continually eradicate technical debt whenever it arises. The goal is the ultimate developer experience.
Optimize infrastructure (DB, nginx, queues) for better scalability.
Review code from your colleagues (we love PR reviews as a great way to share knowledge and find optimal solutions for any challenge).
Actively participate in planning, stand-up and workshop video calls (we have 3 meeting-free days per week for ultimate focus time)
Regularly ship your code (we usually deploy a few releases per day: zero downtime, just a few clicks).
Expert-level colleagues who contribute to the Laravel framework and packages from its ecosystem.
Zero-effort development environment based on Docker.
Battle-tested guidelines for PHP, JS, CSS and Laravel code.
Up-to-date domain, product and project documentation.
Great library of books and courses to keep your knowledge and skills at peak level.
The chance to impact the lives of tens of thousands of designers around the world and put smiles on their faces as you ease their learning journeys.
The opportunity to do the best work of your life—if you’re willing to invest the effort that will require.
A founder and CEO who is a developer.
A competitive salary based on your location and local economy.
Smooth and well-organized workflows for collaboration with other teams.
5 weeks (25 days) of paid vacation per year to do whatever makes you happy, rested and fulfilled.

Your work is based on a solid foundation in computer science fundamentals from data structures and algorithms to design patterns.
You are an engineer by mindset and always try to understand how things work under the hood.
You love to learn through doing. You’re ready to put in some hard work to expand your skills.
You speak and write acceptable English — not perfect English, just acceptable — since you will be working with people from the US, England, Canada, Denmark, Belarus and Australia among others. Your timezone does not matter!
You are a team player and you don’t bring your ego to work.
You are self-motivated and self-disciplined and thus work well in a flat hierarchy with lots of freedom.
You love to have creative freedom, make independent judgments and live up to the responsibility that comes with that freedom.

We are seeking a Staff Accountant to join our team. The Staff Accountant will be primarily responsible for bookkeeping tasks for SaaS companies and other online service-based businesses. We are looking for a candidate that has experience working remotely, self-reliant, proactive, and responsible. Attention to detail, critical thinking and outside of the box thinking are required characteristics. In addition, a candidate should be able to demonstrate a strong ability to problem solve and manage multiple clients at once while organizing as well as prioritizing their projects. The candidate should have extensive knowledge of GAAP accounting principles with the ability to apply these principles in the various bookkeeping jobs assigned. A candidate should have extensive experience working with Quickbooks Online, Xero, or other online accounting platforms.
Punctuality, the ability to follow a set schedule and an effective use of time management are highly valued. Initially this will not be a client-facing position; although it will become one, thus we are looking for someone with social skills, a helpful attitude and experience contacting clients. Lastly, we are looking for a long term staff member that is motivated to help our startup grow and succeed for years to come.
Hi there!
We are Semrush, a global IT company developing our own product – a platform for digital marketers.
This is our Senior Content Writer role for those who know the difference between an average blog post that gets ignored and a great blog post that readers love.
We think that this experience and competences will help our future colleague to join the team.
Experience writing long-form, comprehensive blog content that addresses its target keyword’s search intent. Hands-on SEO experience. (Bonus points for marketing experience in other areas too, like PPC, SMM and CRO.) Strong understanding of the digital marketing industry. Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively on a team. Strong project- and time-management skills. High attention to detail. Experience using Semrush tools or our competitors’ tools. Ability to write in American English with native-level proficiency.You’ll be part of our new Organic Content team, which means you’ll work with people who care a LOT about publishing great work.
We’re on a mission to dramatically improve the quality of our blog content. With the goal of making the Semrush blog the best place in the world to learn SEO.
That makes this an opportunity to sharpen your skills. You’ll get plenty of feedback, and you’ll participate in group workshopping sessions (they’re fun, we promise).
But if you aren’t interested in growing as a writer, this role probably won’t be a good fit for you. It also won’t be a good fit if you can’t already write great content. Rather than writing 10 blog posts per month, at Semrush you’ll be encouraged to slow down and focus on quality.
IMPORTANT:
Near the top of your CV or resume, please include a link to your best content sample. Ideally an example of “how-to” content you’ve written about SEO or another marketing topic.
Semrush is a leading online visibility management SaaS platform that enables businesses globally to run search engine optimization, pay-per-click, content, social media and competitive research campaigns and get measurable results from online marketing. We've been developing our product for 13 years and have been awarded G2's Top 100 Software Products, Global and US Search Awards 2021, Great Place to Work Certification, Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and many more. In March 2021 Semrush went public and started trading on the NYSE with the SEMR ticker.
10,000,000+ users in America, Europe, Asia, and Australia have already tried Semrush, and over 1,000 people around the world are working on its development. The Semrush team is constantly growing.
Our new colleague, we are waiting for you!
