Vetted Software developer in Australia (UTC+11)

I am an experienced and skilled software engineer with a passion for functional programming, particularly in statically typed languages. I have been working professionally in F# in my current role for at least four years, after beginning a journey into learning functional programming about five years ago. My team has just launched a very large project which we have been building for three years, the back end of which is developed in F#. I was responsible for establishing the core foundation of the system, which has proven to be a crucial element in the success of the project. Among the technology team at my current company I have become a respected leader in F# and functional programming, mentoring and guiding other developers in their learning journeys. The problem solving aspect is what I enjoy the most about software engineering. I love designing elegant solutions to complex problems, and I am good at thinking and working in the abstract. Throughout my career, I have regularly found that my colleagues often consult me for advice and assistance with challenging problems. I have always earnt the respect of my team and my employers, and I am frequently entrusted with the most critical development tasks.

How does Arc vet full-time & freelance software developers’ technical skills?

For Arc’s permanent (full-time) software developers, the process begins with a manual profile review and a quick chat or video self-introduction to assess their communication skills and eligibility to be featured to companies. Next, we let them choose either a coding challenge or a technical interview, both of which take about an hour to complete. If they make it past that, we’ll onboard them as a verified software developer, and they become eligible to get featured to companies who want to hire software engineers on Arc.

For freelance software developers, we first conduct a manual profile review, scouring their online profiles to make sure they have a solid technical background, work experience, and other elements. We then ask them to send a video self-introduction to assess their English, communication skills, and other soft skills important to effectively working remotely. Next, we hold either a technical interview or peer programming session to assess their hard skills, followed by a final candidate review. If everything goes well, we’ll have an onboarding call to welcome them onto the Arc platform.
