Looking for a chance to join a small company making headlines already valued at over $100,000,000? We offer businesses of all sizes an employee-spiff platform that combines the buying power of Groupon, the super easy interface and recommendation engine of Amazon.com, and the communal aspects of Facebook. Investors all over think we might be onto something and we know we are. We launched in late 2010, recently received just under $10 million in fresh financing and our team of founders includes the creator of Farmville and early engineers at Yammer and PayPal.


Our platform directly impacts millions of people in a truly positive way and we have grown to over 50 people BUT still have a small tight-knit engineering team of less than a dozen looking to double in size as soon as possible. Our goal? We want to make enterprise software as beautiful and usable as an Apple (yep, we said it) product, and you can help us reinvent it.


We are seeking pioneers, those obsessed with the software engineering craft. Of course, you have to have a fantastic mix of process and pragmatism. You also need to have a solid understanding of Linux systems, web programming, OO design, and design patterns. You should love to create side projects, and want to make your mark on the world by being able to create your products. You want to not only join a career building company, but a category definer.

Job Description

Your main job will be to create scalable/modular code of a product that people will absolutely love. As part of this elite engineering team, you will be given the autonomy to excel, with the support of a stellar product team and peer group that is relentlessly focused on the end-user. You'll work at the application level and you should love tweaking the UI as much you like creating back-end code. We are full stack developers and you'll own your feature end to end. You should be able to make big contributions to a complex web-based application. The people we seek have created web frameworks and large scale web applications from scratch. You should be able to tackle JavaScript, optimize the back-end for scalability, and just jump into system administration tasks if needed. You should be very good at getting things done outside of your comfort zone.

If the task of supporting 6 Million small and medium businesses and 70 Million employees sounds fun (and you meet the requirements below), please let me know
