Anvil is a platform for building full-stack web apps with nothing but Python. We’re looking for a developer with good communications skills to help people build awesome things with Anvil.

We were on the front page yesterday ("I love this"; "Super cool", "Can't wait to try it"): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16728706

Our customers range from tiny startups to huge tech companies, and they say similar things. Check out our six-minute demo; I promise you it’s worth it: https://anvil.works/#about

You’ll be building example applications, writing tutorials, and helping our users build their apps. You don’t need to be a Python expert already, but you will be pretty soon: most of the code you write will be read by someone working out how to do what you’re doing! Don’t worry - you’ll have the Anvil authors themselves to get you up to speed. Joining a startup this early means you can help shape who we are, as well as who you are in the company. You'll also be shaping how everyone uses a shiny new development tool. We’re friendly, open, and have good work-life balance - and we want to stay that way. Come join in!
