Tape | Los Angeles / Venice, CA | Multiple Positions | Full-time | Onsite only, relocation offered | $80k - $120k + equity + benefits

At Tape, we’re building a modern video collaboration tool for the enterprise to revolutionize communication in the workplace. We’re a fun, fast-paced, high quality engineering team. We spent time as senior engineers at Facebook and Amazon where, aside from building huge scalable systems, we thrived as mentors for many engineers. With that in mind we are looking for peers who are excited to take on product ownership and lead as well as younger engineers looking for an incredible learning environment.

We’re looking for skilled mobile and backend engineers (preferably people comfortable jumping across the stack). We offer unlimited paid vacation, fully covered health benefits, catered lunches, and more.

Our interview process is pretty straight forward:

1) 1 or 2 phone interviews - ~1 hour each

2) on site - ~6 hours (no whiteboard coding, just technical discussion and building something together)

3) offer

Our tech stack:

* iOS: Swift

* Android: Java and Kotlin

* Web: ReactJS

* Backend: NodeJS

* Infra: AWS

“Unlimited paid vacation?” Really? How do you prevent abuse?


Generally this is a way for companies to get out of paying your outstanding vacation you haven't taken when you quit or get laid off.


Not necessarily. I have worked for two companies now with unlimited vacation policies that pay out for two weeks when you leave regardless of what vacation you took.


It's still a way of getting out of paying for accrued vacation if they pay out two weeks at separation no matter how little vacation you took while working.


Like every other unlimited gimmick, it's a gimmick. Use too much and you'll find unlimited is very much subject to limits.


That's the pessimistic view.

The optimistic view is that they encourage you to do what's most healthy for you and don't track your vacation days.

As with any other benefit, don't abuse it.


Unlimited means "unlimited subject to manager approval". Try taking more than 2-3 weeks off and you will find the limits of unlimited PTO.
