Half our team has kids, and most of our team comes from a variety of countries half way around the world. 99% of candidates don't even get into the salary discussion phase. It's hard to hire because candidates think they know more than they really do. Some have 5 years experiences, many have 1 year experience five times.

Karmic Labs - Full Time in SF - https://karmiclabs.com

We are a small, diverse team working to revolutionize the way teams communicate about money and expenses, from our small office in the South of Market area of San Francisco. We’re looking to expand our team with dynamic, creative, focused individuals, who can learn new frameworks and systems quickly, and who can contribute their input and ideas into our company and our platform.

We believe that everyone in the workforce should get a smart debit expense card from their employer, and that every business owner should understand their expenses as they happen. We're building a debit card platform that allows small businesses to have dynamic financial controls and trust levels, accountability by default, and real-time expense management. Our private beta went live with Mastercard at the end of last year.

We're a small team from a diverse set of backgrounds (Pinterest, V.C., Netscape, Thoughtworks, Amex...) based in our converted-Victorian office in SoMa.

We strive to have an open and accepting culture. On the technical side:

* We're building our APIs with Flask on Python3 and using Postgres, Redis, Nginx, and AWS.

* We're building our Web apps with AngularJS and Sass (mobile app as a web/native hybrid).

* Our web infrastructure is deployed with Ansible an uses Nginx, Sentry, and an ELK stack for logging.

* We use Git + Phabricator for code reviews and TeamCity for CI. We like linters and unit tests.

We're looking for:

* Design, UI/UX - We care deeply about UX and are looking for a designer who has a passion for building great interfaces.

* Frontend - We're looking for the type of person who reads all of the new browser API specs and is excited by ServiceWorkers. * Backend - Do you have a passion for building well factored code and designing great APIs?

* DevOps - We're obsessive about infrastructure automation.

Want to help businesses by solving company expenses? Send us an email: jobs at karmiclabs dot com; be sure to tell us a bit about yourself and include a link to something that you're proud of. (Alternately, check us out on AngelList: https://angel.co/karmic-labs-1/jobs )
