Confidential REF: #847
Digital Software and Product Development company founded at Stanford University. We build digital products from scratch: inception, specification, design, prototype, development, and full-scale production. We are a team with global experience. Our 20+ full-time, salaried engineering, design, and product staff span the U.S., South America, Europe, and Asia. We are headquartered in Palo Alto, California with satellites around the world. We specialize in high touch, high quality, customized work for a few select clients at a time.
We are looking for someone who can lead by individual example, is a team player, and facilitates good practices throughout the team. You are flexible, proactive, communicate clearly, have consistent follow through, and take ownership and responsibility over your projects and wider responsibilities.
You do things “the right way” - whether this means solving a problem in an innovative way or having the judgment to not reinvent the wheel and use a practical approach when called for. You produce work that is organised and methodical. You are hungry to continuously learn new concepts. You’re excited about new technologies and inclined to work on complex problems. You're mildly obsessed with efficiency, processes, and automation. As a proactive team member, you strive to systematize or eliminate all repetitive tasks.
If you focus on backend, you excel at building robust backends capable of supporting high loads, but also have the experience to balance business needs to avoid “over engineering” at smaller scales.
If you focus on frontend, you not only excel at building well-architected, modular frontends in JavaScript, but also have a product / usability-driven mindset.
Where we expect you to contribute?
We are looking for T-shaped people who have strong computer science fundamentals, have deep technical expertise in their core area, and are ready and willing to work flexibly in new areas. We are particularly interested in talking to new team members that have depth in one or some of the following areas:
Frontend:
Backend:

Other Tools:
Unmatched learning opportunities with world class team members who have worked at companies like Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, Samsung, and HP.
Work on meaningful client projects that create value for our customers’ businesses and internal products that create value for our team.
Chance to explore new things - new technologies, new tools, new projects, new industries.
Flexible work hours - work from anywhere and at flexible times; you will (almost) always have someone on your team online with you.
Flat and open organizational structure with family-like relationships.
Competitive salary relative to your skill level, autonomy, and capability to add value to the team. There is opportunity for yearly evaluations and performance-based growth.
