I saw a announcement they were looking for developers, but saw nothing since. I'm wondering who got the gig?
Geesh, didn't they post it like 3 or 4 days ago? Having just applied for jobs it took 4 weeks for them to make a decision
There was an update to the posting a few hours ago. Is still open.

To be honest with the lockdown if feels like ages ago since I saw the post
Hah funny... I feel the other way. I have lost all concept of time, everything seems like it was yesterday to me!
@bcopeland is now showing as staff on here. I don't remember seeing that from before? Would make sense. His projects have been mighty impressive!
As is @SmartHomePrimer. A full list of current Hubitat staff on the Hubitat community is here:
There are a number of people that could be called staff with the amount of time they spend on this forum. Too bad we don't get paid for it.
Well, there's still a position available for a senior Java engineer. Perhaps we'll see another enthusiastic Hubitat user join the Hubitat team.
If I had to recommend based on recent work @thomas.c.howard and his son @CordMaster seem to have a great set of skills for the platform.
Just sayin ...
Appreciate the vote of confidence. I have my day job :). My son ... starts college in the fall. That being said, you haven’t seen the latest release of HubiPanel.... Just sayin....It’s epic... Hope to (convince my son) to release it soon
I'm not a developer but I'd like to think I make some positive contribution. For me it would be much less fun if it were my job.
Looks like four May 25th adds.
It's great to see the staff growing. Can only mean more amazing functionality with greater dedicated resources. And hopefully it also means things are good in a financial sense also.
Hopefully. And hopefully not a giant debt building exercise premised on some mythical future growth to pay it back.
I have high hopes for the future, though. Seems like there may be things being worked on in the background that I could personally use, if my guessing based on sentence fragments here and there is correct.
Now that sigma doesn't require ZIP for compliance (thank God - no one wanted to update every command class to support ZIP, which almost no one is asking for) I see a lot more chatter/progress on moving zwave forward in the various projects I follow.
So long as they hire someone from the UK go build drivers for all the UK products the guys don't get hold of
Be the change you want to see. Send devices to @mike.maxwell to write drivers for popular products you want.
I actually prefer it when users write the drivers, versus in-box, so that we have access to the code.
Then we can extend/tweak to our heart's desires instead of only have whatever parameters Mike picked (which is almost never all of them).
Mike can work on the platform stuff that users can't access.
But Z-Wave devices outside of the US require different frequencies. So that also adds layers to what’s available to everyone and how soon if it’s left to the community.
Ah, I get what you are saying. Yes, makes sense that non-US device support can grow faster if Mike has devices in hand so can tweak/improve the platform as needed for those locals.
For US devices, I stand by my statement.
