I rejected to apply at a company seeing their JD.

I was going through the careers portal of this decently funded startup and they had opening for SDE2 Backend and Frontend both. But the discrimination they did between FE and BE just got me to nerves.

  1. The BE role was just termed as SDE2 whereas FE role was termed as SDE2 - Frontend Engineer, Why?🤷‍♂️
  2. Both the roles are of same level but the experience required for FE is 3years whereas for BE, its just 2years. A big Red flag about the culture 🚩
  3. For BE role they haven't wrote anything language specific (which is a good thing as they're language agnostic and focusing on the core instead) But for FE they've filled their JD with languages, frameworks and even fcking libraries.

All this together makes it a very risky bet for anyone looking for a SDE2 - Frontend Role. Passing this one and recommend everyone to look for such small red flags 🚩 which tells us alot about company.

Thanks FE JD ⤵️, BE JD is in comments.

I think one should not look for cultures in startups

Why, do you have some reasoning behind this ideology.
