Job Description
If you went to a coding bootcamp and now have “Full-Stack Developer” on your LinkedIn, please don’t read any further. Seriously, don’t do it. Are you gone? Phew.
We’re looking for a driven, highly-technical senior engineer to join our team. We’re small, have a general distaste for hierarchy, and we're building a highly selective team of people who can make an immediate impact. We’re building crazy shit from the ground up – we promise you won’t get stuck maintaining some horrible behemoth.
We like people that want to carve out their own roles and take pride in what they do. Just be passionate and weird and good at coding and you’ll fit right in.
Culture
We hire people, not functions, as our thesis is simple – smaller organizations are more efficient, more fun, and more like family. We look for self-starters, who can problem-solve as well as they can execute. We look for grit, because building a company is hard and we work for each other to get where we want to go. We look for kindred-spirits, we don’t take ourselves too seriously – we’re a band of merry nerds that would be unemployable anywhere else. We’re driven by the role we play in student journalism, it’s an incredible community to fight for.
