Preo Mobile Ordering - New York, NY - Front End or Full Stack Engineer - Full-Time

https://getpreo.com

Preo has built the most advanced mobile ordering app and venue integration in the world: Order and pay for food and drinks from your phone, get an alert when it's ready, and never deal with a tab again. You never have to flag down the bartender at club or the hotdog guy at the game.

We're starting to work with some Large-with-a-capital-L partners to expand, and we want you to be a part of that.

Join a small but incredibly talented team doing native iOS and Android development, web interfaces, server-side integration, and developing and producing our own electronics and hardware. Yep, you read the last part right. Our product is freaking cool and works like a dream.

The engineers you'll be joining used to make military drones (if you've seen The Interview, our code's on that). This weekend the whole team took a break and made a 48-hour iPhone and Android game just for fun: Look for "Space Dozer: Moon Plow" in the app stores soon ;)

Our apps are native (Objective-C, Swift, Java). Our backend is primarily python (with Flask, Postgres, AWS, etc.). Our API is RESTful. We use git and GitHub religiously; we contribute upstream. Our web interfaces are simple right now (HTML/CSS/JavaScript + jQuery) but are going to focus more on those soon: want to help? Have you used Angular/Ember/REACT/…?

We would love either an incredibly talented generalist who, like us, can jump in and get things done (and done right) in a myriad of domains; or an enthusiastic front-end developer who loves making native and web applications work well. You'll be working with world-class designers and you'll be working on a product that changes how you and others do real things in real life. Seriously, it's rewarding to go somewhere and get to use your own product; especially this one.

We prefer on-site (Manhattan) at least part of the time. You can find more info in our listings on AngelList etc.

Reach me directly at robert+hn@getpreo.com and check out our website[0], an app walkthrough[1], and a video from a recent convention[2]
