  | San Francisco - Front-End/Back-End/Mobile Engineers   |
  +*******************************************************+

TenderTree is on its way to becoming the next AirBnB. We allow families to find trusted caregivers near them at half the cost of a traditional agency. It's a HUGE $80B market that's massively screwed up.

We’re growing crazy fast - we’ve done over $100,000 in care in under 4 months in our private beta. And everyone’s taking notice; we’ve been featured by top media outlets such as NBC, Wired magazine, Forbes, TechCrunch, VentureBeat and others.

We are profitable and have been generating revenue from day one (how many startups can say that out here?) We recently closed a round of seed financing of $1.3M to ramp up our growth. We're backed by 500 Startups.

We're hiring web and mobile developers. Here are the requirements:

  * Ability to code FAST and pick up new stuff quickly

  * Raw intelligence - kinda self explanatory

  * Hunger - this isn’t a 9 to 5 job; we’re disrupting a $100B industry

  * Determination - you will walk through walls to make shit happen

  * Hacker mentality - are you good at hacking or reverse engineering systems?

Nice to Have

  * RoR, git, heroku background

  * JS background

Not Required

  * Any specific number of years of experience - you could be straight out of college or have 10 years of experience. We're open to both.

  * Any specific language or platform knowledge

To apply, send an email to andy@tendertree.com with a short description of why you're interested in TenderTree.
