Pinegrow Web Editor - Senior Javascript developer - REMOTE

Matjaz here, the author of Pinegrow Web Editor (http://pinegrow.com), a desktop visual HTML & CSS editor for professional web developers. It also has WordPress theme builder. Up to now I did almost everything by myself, bootstrapping the business from 0 to $100K in the first year, and significantly more in the second - the current - year.

Now it's time to grow (a bit) and I'm looking for a Javascript virtuoso to join me on developing core Pinegrow features.

Our company has no VCs, C?Os, VPs... Instead we have a good product and paying users in 100+ countries that find Pinegrow useful at their daily work. Our revenue is organically doubling every four months. Here's a short story about that: https://medium.com/@mattront/pinegrow-year-in-review-2014-fr...

Ideally, you're better than me at:

- building optimised HTML, PHP, CSS (LESS, SASS) parsers

- designing and implementing effective UI

- separating what users actually need from what just looks nice

- being highly productive, even when compared to whole teams of decent developers

- finding simple solutions for complex problems - and then iterating on them

- having in-depth experience of high-performance Javascript coding and web development, both pure and with contemporary frameworks/tools

Bonus if you're good at:

- creating tutorials and online courses about web development

- marketing

You would get a decent fixed sallary and significant profit share. That's how I imagine my dream job offer would look like.

Permanent, full-time roles in London, New York City, and Seattle.

We are hiring for a bunch of roles at the moment - you can read more about the positions (and the company) here: https://www.distilled.net/jobs/ but in short, we're a digital marketing company, specialising in organic and paid search, content, and digital PR.

The jobs - in order of those most obviously of interest to HN:

LONDON: Front-end developer with some experience (£30-35k) http://distilled.workable.com/jobs/55137

---------------------

LONDON / NYC / SEATTLE: Digital marketers (range of experience) See list - http://distilled.workable.com/

---------------------

LONDON / NYC: Client development / Sales consultant London: http://distilled.workable.com/jobs/54965 NYC: http://distilled.workable.com/jobs/55636

---------------------

LONDON / NYC / SEATTLE: Recruitment & HR manager UK: http://distilled.workable.com/jobs/55167 US: http://distilled.workable.com/jobs/56764

---------------------

We recently had an all-hands email thread where people discussed what brought them to Distilled, and why they are still here. It got many great replies (including a number talking about how people's friends had typically had 2-3 jobs in the time they'd been with us), but this one stood out:

"A combination of an informal environment, freedom, and high expectations - I wanted a place where I could be myself and grow doing/learning things that I was passionate about, while having lots of smart people around me to collaborate with in doing so. I came from a huge, strictly regimented and siloed company, and was fed up with being told "that's a great idea, but it's not your job", and Distilled seemed to be the polar opposite."

ShareLaTeX/DataJoy - UK, full-time, REMOTE, second non-founder developer.

Help us empower scientists by building usable open-source research tools.

We're looking for a remote full-time developer to join our team at ShareLaTeX (https://www.sharelatex.com) and DataJoy (https://www.getdatajoy.com). ShareLaTeX is an online LaTeX editor with over 400,000 registered users, and DataJoy is our new app for online data analysis with Python and R. We're aiming to make these technologies more accessible and easy to use for academics doing data analysis, numerical modelling and statistical analysis.

You should be comfortable quickly learning new technologies and enthusiastic about improving the efficiency of scientists and their tools. Our current technology stack involves Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, Coffeescript, Angular.js, and Docker, so experience in these is useful but not required. We’d rather see that you have demonstrable interest in the problems we are solving, and that you’ve created some great stuff in the past. We would love someone with front-end experience and a good sense of usability design, but we won't discount people with more of a backend focus.

Some reasons you'd enjoy working for us:

* Around 80% of our codebase is open-source and we’re big fans of free software.

* We’re agile (with a lower case a). We test everything (unit and acceptance), we have a CI build process, a full staging environment to play with, and we automate as much as possible.

* We don’t expect you to have to fill up a 9-5, 40 hour work week. A work/life balance is important and we don’t think programming is an activity that can be neatly time boxed.

* You can work fully remotely (in fact, you probably will). All founders and employees work remotely at the moment.

* We’re a bootstrapped company with no outside investors.

Send us an email: team@sharelatex.com

A note to companies:

PLEASE do not put the word "remote" in your posting if you do not hire remote employees. It makes scanning for companies that do more difficult. People will assume by default that your company is only local.

Edit: As suggested below, using "on-site only" is a much more find-friendly phrase.
