I was given the perma-ignore treatment by a Talent Acquisition rep at WeedMaps for a SWE position that was effectively a subset of my existing job (I exceeded the listed requirements) after providing a resume.

The resume should have clearly shown my qualifications, but did include some very old stuff including dozens of PHP sites.

Not sure if ageism, poor resume optimization, or something else but feedback was (and still is!) welcome.

Maybe they ran out of rolling paper, and your resume was used instead.

I didn't see any remote openings on the site- should this be listed as remote?

I applied to a Front End Engineer position last month and was told that the position was put on hold. Any word on that? Really interested in the position!

Things have recently changed, please try again if you are still interested!

i'll do that. thanks

Are you open at all to marketing roles in Denver or is it strictly engineering?

Hi jsonne! Several of our engineering roles are listed as being in Irvine, when in fact they're remote as well. I'm not 100% sure if it's the same for marketing roles, but I would encourage you to apply!

Tucson, AZ and Denver, CO locations as well ;)

FWIW I had a friend apply to a 'remote' position here and they turned him down because that team decided they didn't want to have remote employees after all. Be wary of the remote tag on this post.

I'm sorry about your friend's experience. As a fully remote employee, I can assure folks that "remoteness" has become a much bigger part of our culture. We try very hard to make sure that remote folks are comfortable and kept in the loop. I'm not sure what team he/she applied for, but I would encourage them to give us another look!
