OPPORTUNITY

Android Developer JD @ https://jobs.hasgeek.com/view/2gypj

We’re looking for a solid full-stack javascript engineer who loves Settlers of Catan, remote development, and can tell the difference between an IPA and a Lager.

About Us

- We’re passionate about building software that dramatically improves the customer experience, end-to-end, around moving. Our web product is at the heart of it.

- We are also working with a world-class set of investors and advisors, who you’ll have the opportunity to meet and interact with on a regular basis.

About You

- You are fluent in Javascript – our stack is MEAN: Mongo/Express/Angular/Node (and Backbone)

- You are passionate about code and elegant solutions, and want to work with others who are similarly so. You can’t sleep at night knowing you left something not DRY’d

- You have architected and developed end-to-end products that are currently running business applications on a production environment

- You have an obsessive attention to detail

- You thrive when you are working closely with others on a small team

- You want to build stuff that solves real human problems

- You can explain the differences, chemical and philosophical, between a lager and an IPA

- You have a panic attack if you don’t push code before noon

- You don’t care that the moving industry isn’t sexy

- You would rather make money than make the front page of TechCrunch (though we do that too)

Compensation

Market salary and meaningful equity is available. We’re primarily a remote engineering team, with the company (ops, marketing, customer service) based in Las Vegas in the heart of Tony Hsieh’s Downtown Project. Hackers in Vegas or remote in the US welcome. Full Time or Contract-to-Hire only please. No freelancers or recruiters need apply.

Right now, our biggest hiring initiative is to grow our Stack Overflow Careers 2.0 sales team. As a Careers 2.0 team member, you will present Stack Overflow's Careers 2.0 products and services to prospective companies in a consultative and professional manner. Each team member is responsible for the entire sales-cycle from lead generation/prospecting to sales close to account management, support and growth. Sales activities are conducted using a strategic and structured sales process that consists of a balance of both inbound and outbound activities. Also, since each individual brings unique skills and capabilities to the position, documenting your successes and sharing best practices and insights among your teammates is an important part of the role. Our work environment is crucial to the success of the business so a candidate with a collaborative disposition and good team fit is mandatory.

Looking for a technical co-founder to join technical founder in an ambitious startup that aims to solve a widespread pain point in business-consumer interaction.

This isn't a todo or photo-sharing app. If successful it will be an important part of web infrastructure that many people use but hardly think about. No hype, no quirkiness, no ego.

It has a sane business model that doesn't depend on advertising or acquisition.

Once established it will exhibit a moat that will make competition very difficult.

You must:

- be proficient with full-stack web development and have demonstrable experience through work products

- be driven, gritty, hard-nosed, goal focused

- be very intelligent (preferably with credentials)

- have shown that you can transfer your problem solving ability to different fields (accomplished background/education in another field like physics, biology, philosophy? Write about topics outside CS/Eng/tech? Solved problems in another field?)

- get things done

- be technically talented in general

- be self-directed and self-sufficient

- be able to find out what needs to be done, what tools are needed and learn how to use those tools.

- be able to take ownership of nearly all the technical stack of a typical web service

- be able to communicate effectively: be articulate, sometimes have strong opinions and be able to defend them without being dogmatic.

- be critical: You shouldn't believe the hype or be a conformist. You should be able to analyze issues independently and come to your own conclusions. You should have some justifiable convictions that are not in line with popular sentiment.

- be thoughtful: You should often think about how to make things better, what things are broken, how things fit into the bigger picture and about things happening in the world.

- Knowledge of web security and how to apply cryptography a plus.

Open to existing 2-3 person teams also. Open to recent graduates, grad school dropouts and those with experience.

When responding please enclose a link or attachment to relevant work product samples along with a short resume and short introductory letter.

No contractors.
