We're looking for these positions because we urgently need these sets of skills on our team, but everyone on our team either doesn't have these skills or is swamped with their existing work. -We're extremely cautious with adding a new member to the team. As of writing in August 2024, Purdue Hackers has 14 organizers—that's a very large team, whose schedules for our weekly All Hands become more difficult to coordinate & who become more difficult to manage the larger the team becomes. Larger teams also run the risk of lowering everyone's ambitions, because they make folks feel like there's always someone else to do something, discourage them from working outside their specific domain, and make it harder for the spotlight to be on everyone doing their best work. +We're extremely cautious with adding a new member to the team.

Larger teams also run the risk of lowering everyone's ambitions, because they make folks feel like there's always someone else to do something, discourage them from working outside their specific domain, and make it harder for the spotlight to be on everyone doing their best work. We typically don't recruit for roles other than what we're specifically looking for because we want to be very cautious of team size and we want every new team member to start with a clearly-defined role that fills an immediate need. That said, we've previously recruited team members who didn't fit any of the roles we had open, and they've all been wonderful additions. So, if you've read all the previous roles and found that none resonate with you, we want to leave the door open for you too. -Please be aware that this is a risky position to apply for.
