Disclaimer: I'm the founder of Friendly Captcha, so I'm very biased.
I agree the hCaptcha challenges are probably the most inaccessible of them all once you are not part of the low friction flow any more. Can we really expect grandma to tell the difference between circuit boards and aerial city photography?
In the future feel free to give Friendly Captcha [0] a try, we only have the low friction mode (on any plan). Our free plan should work for hobby projects, and above that our pricing is in line with competitors. We aim to be the most privacy friendly and accessible option (being the only ones with WCAG AA Gold).. and aside from that just being the one that is the most invisible to genuine users, I think our not-getting-in-the-way actually makes us less known..
At Friendly Captcha we do one thing and we do it well: we protect websites from malicious actors and bots.
We provide privacy-friendly and accessible anti-bot solutions that don’t annoy users with tasks like clicking fire hydrants. We make the internet a bit better every day by winning over customers currently using Google reCAPTCHA.
Friendly Captcha is a growing, profitable, fully bootstrapped company. Our revenue mostly comes from medium to large European enterprise and governments. We have the feeling we can make ourselves known better to engineers and other builders to gain more bottom-up growth.
We're looking to strengthen our team with someone who will be focused on our Developer Relations (DevRel) and general marketing activities. We're a startup and this is a pretty mixed role that's hard to describe in one or two sentences. It ranges from technical writing through building specialized tools and demos to support getting the word out.

We’re a growing, profitable, fully bootstrapped company. Our revenue mostly comes from medium to large European enterprise and governments.
We’re looking for an engineer whose focus will be on using data to improve our bot detection and protection. Telling apart bots from genuine users is vital to our product.
If possible, we prefer to keep things simple (perhaps boring is the right word even?) - choosing an if/else rule over a neural network. Good knowledge of the web is always useful in this company. At our scale we are looking for generalists more than specialists. The role is more about enabling for easy experimentation, data exploration and being creative in anti-bot approaches, than building the perfect ETL pipeline.
Our engineering team is fully remote across Europe, we meet up in person a few times per year. You can work either 4 or 5 days per week, fully remote or (partially) from our Munich office. Please note that we ONLY consider candidates located within the EU/UK/EEA/Switzerland.

Friendly Captcha | Integrations Engineer | REMOTE within EU | PART-TIME or FULL-TIME | Office in Munich, Germany | https://friendlycaptcha.com
At Friendly Captcha we do one thing and we do it well: we protect websites from malicious actors and bots.
We provide privacy-friendly and accessible anti-bot solutions that don’t annoy users with tasks like clicking fire hydrants. We make the internet a bit better every day by winning over customers currently using Google reCAPTCHA.
We’re a fast-growing, profitable, fully bootstrapped company. Our revenue mostly comes from medium to large European enterprise and governments.
We are currently looking for a (polyglot) Integrations Engineer to join our team.
We think investing in a great developer experience through documentation, SDKs and plugins will pay dividends, and it makes sense for us to grow our team in that direction. The role involves helping us build integrations and plugins for various platforms, and talking to developers who are integrating Friendly Captcha to learn where we can improve. We think the right hire will shape the role themselves.
Our engineering team is remote across Europe, we meet up once per quarter or so.
You can work either 4 or 5 days per week, remote or (partially) from our Munich office. Please note that we ONLY consider candidates located within the EU, EEA or UK.

We’re a fast-growing, profitable, fully bootstrapped company. Our revenue mostly comes from medium to large European enterprise and governments.
We are currently hiring for two roles: a DevOps infra-focused Engineer, and a (polyglot) Integrations Engineer.
For the DevOps engineer a great fit would be a pragmatic builder who prefers to keep things simple (perhaps boring is the right word?). We prefer to design so that we don't need a dedicated team to maintain any part. You should be productive in Go, and a good knowledge of modern DevOps/SRE practices is expected (IaC, GitOps, etc...).
For the Integrations Engineer it's perhaps less well defined. We think investing in a great developer experience through documentation, SDKs and plugins will pay dividends - and it makes sense for us to grow our team in that direction. The role involves helping us build integrations and plugins for various platforms, but also talking to customers to learn where we can improve. We think the right hire will shape the role themselves.

We're accepting applications from talented and motivated interns who like to actually participate and build great things, not just fetch coffee or work on a nice-to-have project. This is a paid internship.
A great fit would be someone who loves to learn and who liked to learn and build things outside of their studies too.
Our engineering team is remote across Europe, but for this position we propose to meet in-person for work 3 days per week in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Fully remote is difficult (we think) for junior developers.
