Front-end Engineer

Privy — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:34:45 +0000

Company Name:

Privy

Job Description:

For more info: www.getprivy.com

Privy is looking for a front-end engineer who can round out what is currently a very small engineering team. All the usual benefits and trade-offs for working at relatively early start-ups apply, including a significant equity stake in the company.

Our mission is simple. We’re building a self-service marketing product that lets small businesses tailor their own promotions, and share them with their most relevant networks. By launching promotions from their websites, Facebook pages and other online channels, a small business can better engage and grow these networks over time. Ever wanted to work with an awesome group of people that actually give a $h*t about what they’re doing? Ever think, ‘Man, those daily deal sites and other small business marketing companies are preying on businesses and not delivering real value?’ Us, too. Come join us fight the noble cause of helping small businesses owners connect more intimately with their most relevant customers.

We already have a product with a solid, growing client base (and revenue!) as well as our first major partnership in place. We’ve done the initial ground work, but our product is expanding quickly.

Privy is looking for an engineer that is passionate about front-end product development. We want someone who displays mastery of Javscript, CSS, and HTML. You value snappy UI, efficient code, and beautiful user experiences. Our ideal candidate has a CS background, but we are most interested in your skills and personality. To start, you will work directly with our Director of Engineering, with the potential to grow into more of a management position, if desired.

Of course this is a startup, so we are looking for that jack-of-all-trades, help-where-it’s-needed attitude. “Full stack” development experience isn’t a necessity, but a willingness to learn is… and a desire to learn would be better.

Privy uses a number of community driven, open source frameworks. We would highly encourage you to contribute back to those communities for your own personal (and thus Privy’s) glory and spiritual satisfaction.

Privy is currently a small company and you will play a significant role in building our company culture.

Responsibilities

● Implement client and end-consumer facing interfaces for Privy

● Help make UI and UX decisions

● Build reusable CSS/JS frameworks to simplify development

● Prototype experimental features

● Assisting with the general engineering needs of the company

Requirements

● Proficiency using HTML/CSS/Javascript/AJAX

● Demonstrated design and UX sensibilities

● Strong CS fundamentals gained through Bachelor’s degree in CS or equivalent industry experience

● Experience using an MVC framework, particularly with Ruby-on-Rails

This opportunity is super challenging and shouldn't be pursued by the faint of heart: We are building a new technology system from the ground up to support a website already generating hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenues and tens of thousands of monthly active users (and growing exponentially).

This is a unique financial opportunity: Not only is our traffic growing exponentially but our revenue is as well. We are offering very competitive salaries and are open to giving generous stock option grants, as if our company were much younger, since we are building the technology team from scratch. We have received and turned down acquisition offers, raised money three times, and are excited to continue to use capital to grow faster than we would be able to organically.

This is an amazing opportunity to build your entrepreneurial connections: You'll work with an amazing team with amazing leaders, including investors, advisors, and board members such as Steve Kaufer (CEO, TripAdvisor), Nick Shanny (Co-founder, TripAdvisor), and Aron Ain (CEO, Kronos).

Desired Skills & Experience

We're extremely fast-paced and need a developer who knows not only how to catch up but who can possibly even lap us (which would be quite impressive and amazing!)

Qualities Required

Self-Motivator - You know how to get things done without being explicitly given every task. We need someone willing and ready to jump into the deep end.
Excellent Communicator - You'll be working very closely with our new Chief Engineer on a very challenging problem, a problem that will require significant collaboration.
Team Player - We want someone who doesn't want 'just another job'. We want someone desiring to be part of a well-functioning team and family, someone who wants what is best for the team and their combined future.
Creative - There's so much potential for creative contributions to our upcoming, redesigned site that someone who's truly creative should get a high off the many opportunities!
Passionate - We're just dying to do something huge, something downright influential. You should be too!
Quick Learner - We don't expect you to know absolutely everything coming in. What we do expect is that you learn much quicker than the average person and are dying to quickly absorb the knowledge waiting for you during this process.

Skills Required

Ruby on Rails - No minimum experience here, just a solid grasp on the powers of RoR. We need someone who can pretty quickly jump in and tackle a very challenging problem.
Strong object-oriented skills
Some SQL experience (we use Postgres but won't judge too harshly if you've only used MySQL)

Nice-to-haves

Javascript/jQuery and/or CoffeeScript (added bonus for those with MVC-based Javascript framework experience)
HTML/CSS (added bonus for HTML5 and CSS3 experience)
Behavior-driven development skills
Heroku deployment

Company Name:

Aereo, Inc.

Job Description:

Introducing Aereo

You love television. The great comedies and dramas, the compelling competitions, the awesome array  of live sports, the fantastic educational and family programming. You love it all.

What nobody loves is the hassle that comes with it, the lackluster technology, and the lack of choice  and portability.

But all that is about to change.

Aereo is a big, bold new technology rooted in three basic principles:

Free over-the-air broadcast TV should be available to anyone within the service area  of a channel.
Consumers should have the freedom to choose when and where they watch whatever they want to watch, on whatever device they want to watch it.
Smart technology and magical design can overcome the obstacles preventing consumers  from reaching that goal.

With Aereo technology, you break free from the typical TV experience. Free from restrictive and expensive TV packages. Free from wires and boxes and bland technology. Your TV becomes mobile, just like the rest of your life. TV is social, even when you're alone. And it's all wrapped up in an elegant and easy-to-use experience that can work on the devices you already have.

We have a need for a Mid-level to Senior Software Engineer full time with flexibility to perform two half-time roles: Release Engineer and QA/System Test Engineer. In the role of Release Engineer, you will the enhance and innovate Aereo's software development and build environments, product release processes, and surrounding engineering systems. In the role of QA/System Test Engineer, along with other QA colleagues, you will develop, implement and execute automatic test processes with a special emphasis on the combination of creating and testing releases generated in the Continuous Integration.

Thorough to expert level knowledge in Linux, bash shell programming, Python, Continuous Integration tools such as Buildbot or Tinderbox, RedHat/CentOS, automatic and scaled testing methods, and Defect Resolution. Ideal candidate will also have significant C++ knowledge and some experience with Tcl/Tk/Expect, PHP, Java.

You will generate release packages, identify and implement tools to measure code quality and generate build results and metrics to improve the development process. You will work closely with senior developers to direct architectures for code refactoring, servers, and software structure. You will also schedule and drive test milestones in a fast moving agile development environment using your hands-on defect identification skills to drive to resolution.

You will be one of a small highly skilled team of software and hardware engineers engaged in building a product from its inception, so your work will be through the entire design cycle: architecture, implementation, system integration and deployment.

Educational background required is Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Mathematics, or Electrical Engineering. Strong Verbal, and written communication skills.

It's your chance to join an exciting start-up with a fun and stimulating working environment, and to craft a release environment to help inspire a young company to the next level.
