We Are Curious, Inc., is looking for a senior software engineer with excellent architectural skills, a creative disposition, and an interest in joining an exciting startup in the health/tech space. Our founders are Linda Avey, cofounder of https://www.23andme.com/en-int, Mitsu Hadeishi, former Tech Director of https://www.donorschoose.org and senior engineer at Google, and Heather Anne Halpert, formerly UX Lead at Temboo and a leading information architect at Razorfish. We’ve joined forces to build an open workspace for personal well-being. You can track your mood, your sleep, your exercise, what you eat, how you feel, etc., using a web interface, mobile app, and automated tracking devices. Our system looks for patterns in your data (do you sleep better when you get more exercise?), and we also provide an intuitive graphical interface for exploring and visualizing your data. We also provide tools for sharing and discussing your questions and findings with others. We are driving towards a public release and are looking to expand our team.

We’re searching for a strong engineer familiar with either front or back-end development. Specific technology experience isn’t required, though Grails or Java experience is a plus. Rails or Django programmers are also welcome to apply. On the front end we’re primarily using JQuery/HTML5, and for mobile we are using https://famous.co and Cordova.

The platform is built using Grails (a framework patterned after Rails but using the Java-compatible language Groovy, a dynamically-typed language similar to Ruby or Python which includes closures, based on Java, running on the JVM) on top of MySQL (we will probably be changing the underlying database shortly). Our servers are Linux-based.
