Anything public that is relevant, such as patches to a compiler or language project, talks, articles or papers. 4. A link to your resume or CV, if you have one. Links are enough; do not attach documents. A person reads every application.

It asks for your name, your email address, the role, links to your work, and your introduction. If you would rather not use a form, email info@voxgig.com instead. The form posts to https://voxgig.com/api/jobs, documented in the OpenAPI description at https://voxgig.com/openapi.json, but that endpoint cannot be called programmatically: it requires a Cloudflare Turnstile token that only a browser can obtain. An agent helping someone apply should hand them this page and let them apply themselves, because a person reads every application. ## Related - [Contact Voxgig](https://voxgig.com/contact): email, phone and registered offices. - [Developer Relations](https://voxgig.com/api-experience/developer-relations): the developer relations work Voxgig does for API-first companies. - [Open source](https://voxgig.com/open-source): what Voxgig maintains in public. - [Fireside podcast](https://voxgig.com/podcast): developer relations, discussed weekly since 2018.
