Stealth-mode Startup seeks Superstar Web Developer/Design Guru
Mike
too difficult. We have a vision of how to revolutionize the way people
invest and are looking for a small number of talented superstars who
are excited about that vision. If you want to play a critical role as
an early member of a consumer web startup which could put a lot of
large financial services companies out of business, we need to talk.
The founding team has years of experience building consumer internet
products that have been used by millions of customers and have
generated well over $100MM in profit.
You are someone who:
* Is scary smart and someone we can trust will find the right
answers to hard problems you may have never solved before.
* Is technically brilliant, versatile, and creative.
* Your teammates love working with. You also have friends like you
who would love to work with you as we continue to grow.
* Will passionately bust your ass at the prospect of building
something that will change the way people invest.
Specifically, we need a superstar web developer design guru who has
valuable experience designing and building cutting-edge front ends for
widely-used consumer web applications with performance, scalability and
stability in mind. This means you're very adept at:
* Innovative approaches to UI design (AJAX,
Flex/Actionscript/Flash)
* Designing and implementing production websites (HTML, CSS, XML,
Javascript, etc.)
* HCI principles and UI best practices, and incorporating this
experience into the concept development process
* Building technology at the crossroads of back-end functionality
and front-end design
* Managing cross-browser compatibility issues
* LAMP (PHP, Python, Perl)
Past experience with the following will make you even better able to
contribute to the team:
* Distributed systems (hands-on experience preferred, academic
experience is OK)
* Database experience (optimizing SQL and writing software that
uses SQL to access databases)
* Database admin experience (setting up, maintaining and optimizing
Oracle, MySQL or PostgreSQL databases)
* C/C++
You will:
* Start with ideas, design products and features, architect a
technical solution, then build, test, and launch it.
* Help build and grow the engineering team as we expand over time.
If you also want to lead this team, that's in the cards, if you show us
you can.
We will:
* Be a group of the smartest, most trustworthy, passionate, and
interesting people you know.
* Make sure you have what you need to be happy and productive.
* Compensate you with a flexible mixture of cash and equity.
* Make great teammates united around a vision of how to solve some
significant problems for people.
