An extremely talented, self-starting engineer. A true technical co-founder who will challenge, influence, and ultimately drive technical product development; someone who wants to join for the long-haul and be a core piece of building this company.
What the business does:
Our product is an innovative way to collect and share media captured at live events. If you are a fan of concerts, sporting events, or generally attending live events then this would be for you.
Currently, sharing media from live events is limited to the people you “know” through social networks (Facebook, Twitter). This media is scattered in lots of different places, making it impossible to aggregate and difficult to search. We’re going to fix that by giving users a way to digest content centered on the experience itself, not just the people sharing it.
Note: We are not sharing full details of our plan in this post, but we have detailed mock-ups to share with the right candidate in a one-on-one conversation.
What we’d ideally like you to be able to do:
We are flexible on language and frameworks - one of the key roles will be to determine the technical architecture that best suits the current and future needs of the business.
With that said, here is what we think we might need that isn’t language and framework related: ● Experience with cloud hosting infrastructure (Amazon Web Services, Rackspace etc.) ● Strong enough front-end capabilities to build web prototype ● Comfort with developing in iOS & Android platforms ● Comfort managing the growth of an engineering team in the long-term
Most importantly, the technical co-founder should be a broad generalist who can work on all areas of the stack (front-end, back-end, monitoring, deployment), building and managing a team over time.
A final thought... We take recruiting and hiring a technical co-founder extremely seriously. We realize engineering is a priority, and this start-up will succeed or fail because of its engineering talent. We want you to be the leader of this team, and we are willing to do what it takes to create an incredible engineering culture and environment. How to get in touch:
