#692Housekeep has quietly taken over as the leading platform for cleaners working in London. We measure our success first by the number of cleaners that want to work with us, and second by the number of satisfied customers who keep booking them week after week. We have created some world-first technologies to grow these numbers month after month, and to increase our efficiency as we scale.
We've got good foundational tools in place, built over two years by two full-time, full-stack web developers. You would be the third pillar of the team, joining early enough to influence tool-choice and architecture as we go forward. We're looking for someone who can work with us as an equal, working on new features from day one.
Our stack:
- Python, Django, Django Rest Framework
- PostgreSQL (including PostGIS for its advanced geographic modelling capabilities)
- AngularJS
- A hybrid mobile app for cleaners developed using Ionic on top of Cordova
Experience in any of these technologies would be a plus, but we're more interested in your track record of building great products for the web.
If you're interested in hearing more about what we're doing, our economics and growth, and the kinds of things you might get to work on, email me. I'm the CTO and you'd be talking to me directly. We don't use any recruiters.

#699Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sorry about that. We try to give direct feedback to applicants, especially when asked for. I'll share your comment with the lead UI person.
Gitlab has a lead UI person but no UI. Interesting. What he/she's doing then?
Either be incrementally better than the Hub in UX or come up with a UX that developers wanted but never knew they wanted.
