Worth pointing out it could be fully remote, but France or Germany residence is required. From what I heard it's an accounting issue for them, explained as each country needs their own accounting scheme, which, as an EU citizen, seems like a skill issue to me.

it is a skill issue

Man, I'd love that, if only the pay was better... but than again, if the pay was better I'd be even less qualified. But typst is awesome, all the best wishes for the team including the new hire :)

all genders
Uhm what?

It's a German thing. We've got a male and female form for pretty much all jobs. However it's not allowed to discriminate against gender. So pretty much all job listings have mwd for
men white Deutsch (german)men women diverse with only the male form.Because an international audience wouldn't understand it, they posted it as all genders.
As an added bonus it keeps Americans away.

57k€ for someone with Rust experience?!
Maybe that "Rewriting things in Rust is just to get rid of old people that can command high salaries" LinkedIn Lunatic was right after all...
While they don't write it explicitly I think they're looking for a good junior developer, given that:
Once upon a time, a "meaningful wage" was something that would allow you to raise a family of 4 while living a comfortable middle class standard of living.
57k€ gross salary in Berlin amounts to ~3360€ per month net income. Rent alone will eat 30-40% of that.
You can survive on that salary, which is more than most people are managing to do nowadays. But to think that someone with such specialized competency should expect a "not bad" salary shows a pretty sad state of affairs.
In addition to the high likelihood that they are asking for an advanced junior dev "Picking between an
Arc<T>, aBox<T>, and an&Tis second nature to you." (Not that advanced of a skill), even if they have a closed source webapp, they are still predominantly open source (that position is for that part), they don't have much money. For that it's not great, but not horrible either.The web app seems to be mostly wasm based as well. So probably no ja only html and CSS at most.
It makes sense if they hire middles, not seniors
Lol what a weird ass conspiracy theory take to waste my time reading
Their making a valid point though in this context
57k is more than decent for a junior, what are you talking about.
57k for a junior was "decent" in Berlin 10 years ago for anyone that could spell Javascript. Nowadays it falls squarely into "I'll take this job because it's better than nothing" territory.
