JS full-time dev
We’re looking for someone who likes to take ownership of a project, and see it through to completion, with or without supervision. Our stack is really new (about2 months old) and focuses on a predictable, functional, reliablefrontend… React + Observables + redux-like-stores + angular in an iframe for legacy support + native app that renders webpages as video and delivers them to Facebook (and other video services) + ruby-on-rails api backend (all json).
The right candidate would be excited about being our first dev hire. There’s currently only 4 full-time founders (+ 2 part-time employees). Our product helps big brands like NBC, BuzzFeed, the New York Times, Reuters, Nasdaq, TED talks, and more broadcast high quality video to Facebook Live. We’ve grown really fast and can continue to do so with the right technical talent. We think this is a great fit for someone who thinks they could be great with the right mentorship. (We have one of the guys who built a js video player for one of the biggest companies in the world.)
We’re previously funded by Y Combinator, and some angel investors. At this time, we do not expect to raise further funding. We’re currently profitable, and expect this to be our only company we work at for the next 50 years. We will not be selling the company unless some insane whatsapp like thing happened. We’re building a forever biz, not a flip. We’d love for our perfect employee to be excited about small companies and startups, and we’d expect the right candidate to use us as a learning experience to maybe make the next step into a senior developer role.
We value diverse applicant pools, so if you’re part of an under-represented population in tech, we hope you’ll apply. Specifically we’d love to see more women and people of color apply.
We value people’s home lives. We work hard but some of the founders work 4-day weeks. Other coworkers are encouraged to do this schedule if it works for them. We also value remote work, and have cofounders in Finland and Pakistan, which should emphasize our preference for results over face time for the sake of facetime.
