Arushi S., freelance Stack programmer
Arushi S.

Freelance Stack developer in India

I am Arushi Singhal, Software Engineer at Amazon. I have a keen interest in Algorithmic Problem Solving and have been programming for around 7 years now. I interned in Summer 2019 at Google as a Software Engineer. In Summer 2018, I did a Machine Learning internship at Robert Bosch Engineering and Private Limited, Bangalore, India (RBEI). I have multiple experiences of back-end development for large-scale systems. During my internships, I worked with Python and machine learning libraries in Python, Java, gRPC, Protocol Buffer, Google Guice and Google’s Internal Frameworks, Django, Ruby on Rails. I have also contributed to many open-source projects, including the Linux Kernel. I have submitted over 50 patches to kernel code. My other contribution to Open Source can be seen on my GitHub Profile. I am also passionate about mentoring and motivating people to contribute to open-source projects and was Google Code-In Mentor in 2017 for OpenWISP and Sugar Labs. I also worked as a Computer Science Instructor at CodeConnect, where we as an instructor ensure that our computer science education is accessible, empowering, and supportive for the next generation, and committed to our mission of increasing diversity in tech. In CodeConnect, I gave Python lectures to Pre-University students. I also used to be a Student Teaching Assistant and Research Assistant and I find teaching/mentoring extremely motivating - sometimes I'd get introduced to new interesting topics that I'd probably never think of finding out about on my own if it wasn't for the purpose of explaining it to someone else. Sometimes I'd get a completely new perspective on subjects I thought I knew when trying to find a way to present it to someone else. I'd really love to keep learning this way. One of the topics I'm always happy to talk about are the interviews - I've done a fair share of them, most of them in top tech companies and I would love to share what I've observed so far. I'm always up for tackling interesting interview questions, doing mock interviews or just giving resume tips (I got my interviews at Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Google and also at open-source communities without a referral, so I might help you with reviewing your resume to make it stand out. :)) Other than that, you can always reach out to me if you have questions related to Java, Python, R, Matlab, C, C++, Data Structures, Algorithms, SQL, GIT, Mathematics etc. I try to keep my knowledge and skills up to date and learn something new every day by helping you! Being a researcher, quick learner and having software development experience, I believe I am a good fit for mentoring.

FAQs

Why hire a Stack developer?

In today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain. For instance, if your business has a website or an app, you’ll need to keep it updated to ensure you continue to provide positive user experiences. At times, you may even need to revamp your website or app. This is where hiring a developer becomes crucial.

Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire a Stack developer, multiple developers, or even a full remote developer team to help keep your business running. If you’re a startup or a company running a website, your product will likely grow out of its original skeletal structure. Hiring full-time remote Stack developers can help keep your website up-to-date.

How do I hire Stack developers?

To hire a Stack developer, you need to go through a hiring process of defining your needs, posting a job description, screening resumes, conducting interviews, testing candidates’ skills, checking references, and making an offer.

Arc offers three services to help you hire Stack developers effectively and efficiently. Hire full-time Stack developers from a vetted candidates pool, with new options every two weeks, and pay through prepaid packages or per hire. Alternatively, hire the top 2.3% of expert freelance Stack engineers in 72 hours, with weekly payments.

If you’re not ready to commit to the paid plans, our free job posting service is for you. By posting your job on Arc, you can reach up to 350,000 developers around the world. With that said, the free plan will not give you access to pre-vetted Stack developers.

Furthermore, we’ve partnered with compliance and payroll platforms Deel and Remote to make paperwork and hiring across borders easier. This way, you can focus on finding the right Stack developer for your company, and let Arc handle the logistics.

Where do I hire the best remote Stack developers?

There are two types of platforms you can hire Stack programmers from: general and niche marketplaces. General platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Gigster offer a variety of non-vetted talents unlimited to developers. While you can find Stack 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 Stack developers, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their Stack developers for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote Stack developer candidates.

Some factors to consider when you hire Stack 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.

Make sure to list out all of the important factors when you compare and decide on which remote developer job board and platform to use to find Stack developers for hire.

How do I write a Stack developer job description?

Writing a good Stack developer job description is crucial in helping you hire Stack programmers that your company needs. 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 Stack 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.

Finally, adaptability is crucial for Stack developers to keep up with evolving technology and requirements.
