StoryWorth | SF | Full-Time — https://www.storyworth.com

We’re looking for a full-stack engineer to join us at StoryWorth (www.storyworth.com).

This role is a good fit for you if you want to work on a meaningful consumer product, and if you work best with a lot of responsibility on a small team.

We’re a service that helps people record their family stories and print them in beautiful hardcover books. We have raised a seed round, have paying customers who love us, and are on track to be profitable.

You’ll be taking over the core engineering of the site, scaling it as we grow and implementing major new features. Because of this, we need someone with significant engineering experience (3-5 years full time work). You should be comfortable Python, Javascript, HTML and CSS. Bonus points if you have mobile experience and an interest in design.

Our development process is very collaborative. We'll wireframe a new feature together, you'll put together an end-to-end prototype, and we'll iterate from that. We care more about clean maintainable code than domain expertise. Our stack includes Python (Tornado), Mongo, Swift, Heroku, Stripe, Twilio & Mailgun.

If you want to apply, email me a short note about why this posting caught your attention and we’ll go from there.

I can’t wait to hear from you!

-Nick nick@storyworth.com

PS: Unfortunately we can’t sponsor a visa at this time, but we’re open to remote candidates if you’re a particularly good fit. Also, this role likely isn’t right for you if you graduated in the past year or recently completed a hacker school.

Full-time, relocation to Amsterdam, (H1B or its dutch equivalent anyway) is taken care of by the company.

General Interview Process -> Hackerrank test, call with the recruiter, phone interview, onsite interviews

I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here.

We're growing in a big way and are looking for experienced engineers to join our team to help make enterprise learning better. Our "stack" is React + React Native + Relay + GraphQL + Roda + Sequel + Postgres + etc.
