Join our ranks

==========

Backend Web Engineer Our REST API is our bread and butter and the heart and soul of Ambassador's products, meaning you'll always be on the forefront of product development. A passion for writing elegant and efficient code is a must as is experience in any # of modern scripting languages and frameworks. Experience with Python and Django is preferred. Knowledge of Django Rest Framework is a plus.

Frontend Web Engineer You'll have a wide-ranging experience across various products, bridging the gap between design and reality. You should have an eye for good design and UX, experience in either is a huge plus. Your JavaScript, HTML, and CSS skills must be top-notch, and you should already have experience working in JavaScript frameworks such as Angular. Experience with UI toolkits such as Bootstrap and preprocessors such as LESS are a plus.

UX/Visual Designer Your work must delight not only our customers but also our ambassadors, giving you the opportunity to design for two very different audiences. We also promote various one-off projects and marketing efforts for which you'd have the opportunity to collaborate. You should have a proven track record of working on software teams and designing beautiful interfaces that are also functional and serve both business and user needs.

Node.js | Backbone | Angular | D3 | MySQL

    * Full Stack Engineer
    * Machine Learning
    * Frontend Engineer

----

At DataHero, we’re building an impactful data analysis and visualization platform that anyone can use to understand their business data.

Can you explain a join to your sales managers? Can you instead build a system where they can combine their Salesforce and Stripe data without learning a line of SQL?

Our system uses recommendation algorithms, an intuitive user experience, and all the dirty engineering grit to give non-engineers superhuman analysis skills.

You:

  - build high-concurrency single page HTML5 webapps
  - don’t mind that Node.js hasn’t yet reached 1.0 
    (and have built many an escalator through the 9 levels of callback hell)
  - believe design is just as important as engineering
  - want to work for a top venture backed startup with monthly recurring revenue
  - want to contribute to our beer preference datasets 
    with our small close-knit team:
