Front-end engineer at growing fintech startup in London, UK [£35-50K + options - thought I'd take the hint]

I’m CTO at FundApps, recently recognised as one of the top 50 fintech startups in Europe. We help investment managers comply with regulation - it's a product in a complex space that we're trying to make simple. We're looking to hire our first front-end engineer and designer (2 roles!) who can help us tackle this as we grow.

We have a great customer base and are growing the company on the basis of actual revenue (who'd have thought it).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

to be blunt as well , I am pretty sure that you primarily want my skills to help you solve your problem , being excited and not capable will not get you far which you can see from 99% of poorly executed startups go cheap will not get you far and from history we know how drinking kool aid ends up

I completely agree that being excited and not capable will not get the engineer and the company far. Yet being capable and only interested in the paycheck will not make an engineer understand the customer and what the problem being solved is. In a start up with a team of 10 or less (including all roles), it's critical everyone is excited about what the start up is doing. Actually if you look at the history of success…

Why do you assume that if I care about the money, I only care about the money. You are making money from this business, so I expect you to pay me for my contribution what I think I am worth.

This attitude that startups are doing engineers a favor by hiring them is hurting the startups themselves.

==Full Stack Engineer==

We’re looking to hire a second engineer to join our team of five working to fight homelessness and urban poverty. As an experienced generalist you will be responsible for working with our designer to bring product features to reality. You should be comfortable working from the linux platform, through back-end architecture, all the way to implementing designs with responsive html/css/js.

At HandUp, you’ll have the satisfaction of seeing your work directly impact thousands of lives. We’re using technology as a tool for human empathy. Passion for solving big, complex social problems is a must-have. You don’t need any specific qualifications, but we do look for people who exhibit these qualities:

* Self-starter - you’ve worked on your own projects before and are a self-motivated do’er. * Startups - you have experience working in environments where priorities and tasks can change frequently. * Scrappiness - you know when to cut corners and when to spend the time to do it right. You're good at prioritizing and managing limited time and resources. * Experience - this isn't your first rodeo. You've been doing this for a while and can tell us some good stories.

Our stack is Bootstrap / jQuery, Python / flask, MySQL. You don’t need to be an expert in those technologies but you should have a proven ability to pick up new skills quickly. You ideally have some experience in automated testing methods and deployment tools. Metrics are important to us so deep knowledge of funnels and Google Analytics and/or mixpanel are a plus.

This position is located in San Francisco.

Fast track the screening process by solving our little challenge: curl http://challenge.shopcurbside.com Curbside is enabling a new way to shop, built for the era of instant mobile commerce. The Curbside app makes it easy to find, buy and pickup products at nearby stores.

It takes an engineer to solve that challenge? Anyone with a bit of CS background and HTTP knowledge could do this.

That's their screening, not their interviewing. It's the equivalent of fizzbuzz.
