Hi, CTO/co-founder of DKL here. We are a multi-disciplinary team leveraging analytics and Artificial Intelligence, both generative and more traditional, to help a global client-base in the energy space solve complex problems and build systems that turn Data and AI into measurable business value.
DKL is a 30-strong, fully-remote 2.5yo company built around a 10yo core team where owners are all active engineers and whose growth is funded by its own revenue.
We are looking for a DevOps engineer who will work with our teams and leadership to define and implement solutions that are architected with the right balance between feature-set, cost, scalability, security, maintainability and tech debt in mind.
We have established a strong cloud-based baseline tooling ecosystem that we need to keep improving while we diversify to less vendor-locked alternatives and different efficiency profiles.
We strongly believe in growth within (and beyond) a role so do not be put off if you think your profile does not yet match some of the listed points. We are also happy to hear about why you think your value proposition exceeds the compensation bracket mentionned above.
Feel free to reach out directly to me at hn.recruiting at <our website's domain name> if you have questions.
I am using uwsgi with uv. This is not to say the problems you are facing are not real, but it cannot be a 'fundamental incompatibility' if it is working in my case.
Here is an example of a CLI invocation I am using for quick testing:
Your numbers are plain wrong. France, Spain and Germany are at around 43%, worst case scenario.
As someone who pays tax in one of these countries and manages/recruits people across all Europe (as well as Americas and Asia) I can confirm these calculators are very accurate.
Taxes (incl. pension + unemployment + health insurance and other social contributions) for 200K euros annual salary, for a single, no-dependents employee (the most unfavourable situation)
Quoting fantasy numbers with an air of authority, without sources and using an aggressive/dismissive tone throughout all your comments strikes me as pretty pathetic but, who knows, it might convince others.
I did not forget 25% social security. I listed taxes for the employee (as stated in my message).
If we look at total taxes and include taxes paid by the employer (fair point), your figures are still wrong, as these 3 countries still set a total tax burden inferior to 50%, far from the 70% you quote.
There is no VAT on wages/payroll, either in the UK or the EU (1)
The figures I quote include regional taxes in Germany and Spain which have them.
Taxes (incl. pension + unemployment + health insurance and other social contributions) on 200K euros annual gross salary, for a single, no-dependents employee (the most unfavourable situation)
Spain (2):
Taxes [employee]: 81,915 EUR [40.96% of 200K EUR]
Taxes [employer]: 15,596 EUR [45.13% of 215K EUR]
** the page you source is wrong for salaries over 55K EUR, see explanation at the bottom (3)
France (4):
Taxes [employee]: 87,866 EUR [43.94% of 200K EUR]
Taxes [employer]: 24,119 EUR [49.97% of 224K EUR]
Germany (5):
Taxes [employee]: 86,439.33 EUR [43.22% of 200K EUR]
Taxes [employer]: 15,078 EUR [47.20% of 215K EUR]
UK (6) [200K EUR = 172K GBP]:
Taxes [employee]: 70,185 GBP [40.90% of 172K GBP]
Taxes [employer]: 22,425 GBP [47.73% of 194K GBP]
(3) In Spain, social insurance taxes (contingencias comunes) are calculated as 28.3% of 1.6K (min) to 4.5K (max) mensual income. Anything over that does not compute for that calculation. So the employer can at most pay 1080 EUR/mo (23.6%) and the employee 211 EUR (4.7%) a month as opposed to the 4K the page you source mentions
No, you need to count VAT that employee pays when they buy stuff.
There's a difference of that sort between Oregon and Washington states in US: Oregon has no VAT, but has state income tax (on top of federal) and WA has 10% VAT but no state income tax. In the end they come out approximately the same tax load.
E.g. taking Germany and Standard 19% VAT and the 86,4K/200K you mentioned you get about 95.4K left for prices before VAT (e.g. you can only buy 95,4 x 1K EUR (as seen in countries without VAT) iPads), which is already >50% in total tax. Now you remember you started with 215K EUR at the company and you get ~55% total tax.
