Freelance Writer to Simplify Legalese

We’re looking for reliable, talented freelance writers who love writing about a wide range of topics, including legal topics.
Most of our work is on legal topics. All topics related to legal are entry-level and not at an academic level.
You’ll be writing about everything from why a certain legal contract is required for a business to writing a checklist article of best tools to use for an e-commerce store to increase sales.
About The Work
We understand the value of quality content. We’re not looking for plain text articles, but well-researched articles to educate our readers: articles with images, links, quotes from research papers, expert’s quotes etc.
Our articles are often 1000+ words, generally around 2,000 words. Some articles are beyond 10,000 words.
We’re not looking to game search engines, but rather educate our customers about the legal contracts they’re searching for. We aim to be a teacher to our customers.
We are looking for writers available for a minimum of one day/week. We have as much work as you can handle. We don’t micromanage.
We are very clear on what we want for every article. We provide topics with a proposed structure including due dates and the minimum required length. There is sometimes communication back and forth during the revision session. But for the most part: you write the article, turn it in, we review and ask for edits if necessary and then publish it.
Writers get paid every other week, in US dollars by PayPal.
Depending on where we’ll publish your work, and for as much as we can, we’ll show your bio byline to give you author credits.
Job Requirements
  • Native English speaker with strong writing skills. We can make an exception on this if you have English Proficiency qualification.
  • Exceptional online research skills
  • Well organized and reliable
  • Some degree of technical proficiency (using Google Docs, taking screenshots)
It’s a major plus if you have any of the following:
  • Legal degree or paralegal experience
How Do We Work?
We work remotely. We don’t need to sync time zones.
We work over Google Docs and email.
How To Apply?
Send an email to office@legalcom.group with:
  • A 4-5 sentence introduction explaining why you think you would be a good fit
  • 3 URLs showcasing your work related to internet laws or technology
  • Your freelance writing rates (per word, please!)
Please format your subject line as follows: “Your Name | Freelance Writer | WeWorkRemotely” (example: John Doe | Freelance Writer | WeWorkRemotely). The subject line format is important, otherwise our editor won’t get your email.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Job Type: Full-time

Writer / Researcher: North or South America, Natively Fluent English

I’m hiring one or two more people to join our writing team team. Your role initially will be to research the child custody process for each of the 50 US states (one at a time – it’s a big project), primarily by calling and emailing attorneys, mediators, and other custody experts. You will then write the information you learned into webpages (10+ per state). These webpages are for the general public to read when searching for their state’s child custody process. We already have some information about each state on our website, and we’d like to expand it, as it’s helpful to our current and future customers.
Previous research experience isn’t required. However, you will have to be an excellent writer, who can write in a concise and informative manner, to match our writing style for our website. This job is strictly in English and requires native English proficiency, though you can be living anywhere in the Americas.
We are based in the US, but you will be paid in your local currency at an equivalent of USD $8-9 per hour. For example, if you live in Brazil, your pay would start between 30-33 BRL per hour. Or if you live in Mexico, your pay would start between 150-170 MXN per hour. If you are a US citizen traveling and living abroad, we’d just pay you in USD.
I’d like to hire you if you:
  • Have native English skills, both speaking and writing; if English is not your first language, your TOEFL score must be 115+ or your IELTS score must be 8.5+
  • Enjoy writing and can write in a concise and informative manner
  • Would like to research topics by calling and emailing
  • Can stay on task without supervision and work independently
  • Live in North or South America
  • Want to work from home in a long-term, full-time position
  • And we get along; to see the team you’ll be joining, visit our about us page
My company is called Custody X Change. I’ve been working on the business since 2004. We sell an application that creates child custody schedules and parenting plans. It also helps families make difficult decisions post-divorce/separation, and facilities communication between two parents who may not get along very well anymore. All of this reduces a lot of conflict and saves people a ton of money in legal fees.
If you want to help people discover a genuinely helpful product, and join a small, distributed team, then we should talk.
To apply, email me at careers@custodyxchange.com, and:
  • Include your resume in PDF format
  • Somehow use the word “broccoli” in the subject of your email
  • Answer the following 5 questions in your email, in this order:
  1. Where do you live and what’s your city like? (50-100 words)
  2. Why are you looking for a remote job? (50-100 words)
  3. Why will you do well working independently, with limited supervision? (50-100 words)
  4. What’s your story on how you learned English? And if you didn’t learn it as your first language, what was your TOEFL or IELTS test score? (50-100 words)
  5. What do you think about the starting salary? (50-100 words)
Note: agencies need not apply; I’m looking for an employee to join our team.

Engineering Manager

What We Do
Overleaf is a startup and social enterprise that builds modern collaborative authoring tools for scientists — like Google Docs for Science. We have over three million registered users from around the world. Our primary product is an online, real time collaborative editor for papers, theses, technical reports and other documents written in the LaTeX markup language.
Who We Are
Overleaf was founded by two mathematicians who were inspired by their own experiences in academia to create a better solution for scientific collaboration and communication. Now we are a team of thirty based mainly in and around the UK and in the US. We were recognised as one of the UK’s top 100 fastest growing businesses in 2018.
In September 2018, we officially launched ‘Overleaf v2’, the latest version of our platform, which we’ve been working on since our acquisition of ShareLaTeX, the other major online LaTeX editor, in 2017. We’ve now integrated the two products and teams.
How We Work
Overleaf is remote-first — all founders and staff work remotely. We also have an office by King’s Cross station for those in the London area, and we get the whole team together in London several times a year for face-to-face time.
We encourage flexible working. Our core hours are 2pm–5pm UK time, during which we have a 10–15 minute daily standup call for the whole development team. We have few standing meetings for the development team, but we do many smaller video or voice calls for pairing or within project groups.
We don’t yet have standing teams, but we form and dissolve smaller teams on a per-project basis; we try to give everyone the opportunity to serve as a team lead if they want to.
We always collect user feedback to inform our work. We have UX professionals on our team, and we run many surveys and user interviews.
We organise our work with Kanban. We use GitHub pull requests for each feature with code review to share knowledge and best practices (and catch bugs). We test thoroughly with automated unit and acceptance tests, supported by continuous integration (CI). We’re also fans of linting to minimise bikeshedding (and to catch bugs).
About This Role
This is a broad role, which you will be able to shape as the business grows, but in the short term we will ask you to:
  • Own process at the level of the whole engineering team, now 17 people, including leading retrospectives and ensuring that teams are working well together and have appropriate processes for managing their work. At least in the short term, you will also be directly involved in planning work for the whole team (e.g. backlog grooming, ensuring tickets are well specified, monitoring for bottlenecks).
  • Take on line management of the engineering team, including improvement of frameworks for career progression and performance review, and including regular 1:1s with the development team.
  • Represent the engineering team in communications with our sales, marketing and support teams.
  • Play an active role in our hiring process, including continuing to refine that process, forming interview panels, and often participating in those panels.
  • Contribute to decisions on technical architecture and tools for development and operations (e.g. languages, frameworks) as we continue to scale the product while controlling costs.
  • Contribute to mentoring developers and setting up systems to support their growth and training, such as pairing and internal training or sharing sessions.
  • Take opportunities to get hands on, to make sure you can stay in touch with the day-to-day work of the team.
These responsibilities currently sit with me, our CTO, and we will be working closely together. As we continue to grow the engineering team, I would like to be able to focus on our product, where I believe I can have the most impact. I am looking for an experienced engineering manager to help the team to continue to develop and to uphold the values that have carried us this far. In particular, at Overleaf we aim to be:
  • Friendly, open and approachable – if we can help, we do.
  • Collaborative and innovative, with a love of science & learning.
  • Trustworthy and professional, but not corporate.
  • Sustainable, scalable and reliable, both as people and in our tech.
  • Making our users’ lives easier, by putting the user first.
  • Remote-first and flexible, to working styles & personal lives.
To give you an idea of what we do, here are some examples of projects (large and small) we recently completed as part of our Overleaf v2 work:
This year, we have many projects planned including Single Sign On for our many university clients, improvements to our rich text mode, Dropbox sync, B2C conversion funnel, and much more.
How We Hire
The stages in our hiring process are typically:
  1. We will aim to update you on the status of your application within one week from when we receive it.
  2. We’ll follow up by email (or sometimes schedule a phone call) with any questions we have about your application, usually around logistics, your ambitions and your expectations about the role.
  3. We’ll schedule a more in-depth interview, which is typically two hours long. The first hour is discussion, and the second hour is practical. For the practical, you’ll have the option of either completing a homework assignment, which requires about one hour of your time before the interview, or doing an exercise during the interview, if you prefer. The exercises are practical in nature, and you can use Google, etc., and ask us questions.
  4. We’ll make an offer. We usually interview in batches, so there may be a short delay while we interview other candidates, but we will try to keep you informed throughout the process.
If you have a deadline, please let us know in your application, and we will try to be accommodating.
Requirements
We require that you:
  • have a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience.
  • will work for us full time (or nearly full time).
  • will usually be available in our core hours, 2pm–5pm UK time.
Benefits
 
  • Remote and flexible working.
  • Competitive compensation package.
  • You would join a small, dedicated and growing team.
  • We’re substantially (around 80%) open source, so your work will often be on open source.
  • We’re backed by Bethnal Green Ventures (https://bethnalgreenventures.com/) and Digital Science (https://www.digital-science.com/), through which we’re part of a wider community of startups in science, health and ed-tech.
  • Our London office is shared with several other Digital Science companies, so there’s lots of interesting people to meet, and clubs and sports activities outside of work.
  • You can pick your own equipment. MacBook Pro? Lenovo ThinkPad? Notebook and pen? However you like to work, we’ll provide what you need.
  • We provide a training budget; many of our staff choose to attend relevant industry conferences or buy training materials.
  • We run a biweekly internal seminar series (show and tell) with short talks from staff about their work or personal projects, new technologies and techniques.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
