Remote Nix Developer
I'm a developer born and raised in the heart of El Paso, TX. My 'tech' journey really started off handling user analytics and providing support for our client, where I worked with various teams to solve and prevent future user issues by identifying ways that we could improve the product and issue resolution time to deliver better customer support to both end users and business clients. For additional context, I started off building android kernels when I was 14. While working for C3i Solutions, I wanted to be a part of the process in truly solving user issues, thus I began my journey. I shortly joined a local startup, in which I utilized React, Ruby on Rails, and AWS. Being a part of a small team, I was able to spearhead new customer features and products to drive acquisition. Unfortunately, COVID hit and I was laid off within a few months. Luckily, I landed a contract with Patrick Thomas and Partners, which functioned as a sort of consulting position where I was able to work with clients from all over the world and design solutions for them using React, React Native, and a federated Apollo GraphQ backend. Afterwards, I was asked to rejoin E-Dealer Direct, again wire framing (with Figma) and overseeing an entire product for commercial clients. As I wanted to expand my horizons, I came to work for Kinsta, where I was able to learn and grow on a globally distributed team, seeing a product from the ground up, and then being transferred to a core team where I was able to lead the development of several features that are currently a core part of the main product. The company unfortunately decided to reduce their force, in which I took the opportunity to search for new horizons where I can grow and expand not only my own skills, but provide benefit elsewhere.

We assist you in assembling your ideal team of programmers in your preferred location and timezone.
In today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain.

General platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Gigster offer a variety of non-vetted talents unlimited to developers. While you can find Nix developers on general platforms, top tech talents generally avoid general marketplaces in order to escape bidding wars.
If you’re looking to hire the best remote Nix developers, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their Nix developers for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote Nix developer candidates.
Some factors to consider when you hire Nix developers include the platform’s specialty, developer’s geographical location, and the service’s customer support. Depending on your hiring budget, you may also want to compare the pricing and fee structure.

A job description’s key elements include a clear job title, a brief company overview, a summary of the role, the required duties and responsibilities, and necessary and preferred experience. To attract top talent, it's also helpful to list other perks and benefits, such as flexible hours and health coverage.
Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.
Your company description should succinctly outline what makes your company unique to compete with other potential employers. The role summary for your remote Nix developer should be concise and read like an elevator pitch for the position, while the duties and responsibilities should be outlined using bullet points that cover daily activities, tech stacks, tools, and processes used.
