Hiring platform engineers to help us shape the future of work (SF)
on Dec 24, 2013 | hide
At Assembly (assemblymade.com), we're on a mission to empower the maker-class and help individuals lead a more fulfilling career. Assembly's collaborative platform enables the creation of a new class of software product; where anyone around the world can help collectively build, retain ownership, and receive profit for their contributions. We're looking for a Full-stack Engineer to help us build foundational pieces of the Assembly platform. You would have a direct hand in shaping the future of work and unlocking the power of independent creators. You help us craft user experiences and solve deeply technical challenges. Some of things we’re working on at the moment include a scalable financial system that records expenses and revenue for hundreds of products; reliably paying contributors, and creating APIs that make everything on our platform transparent and accessible to others.

We’re currently a small 4 person team in San Francisco that has recently secured a healthy financing from top-tier investors which will enable us to tackle the enormous challenges of creating a ‘meta’ company (a software company that creates software companies). We believe in progress over consensus, strong opinions weakly held, moving fast is best even if it breaks things, and we make what we measure - but you'll have the opportunity to add your own lessons to that list. We work alone and we work together; meaning we believe the best know how to get things done on their own, as well as how to work in a team. Everyone on the team is responsible for self directing their work and has a tremendous impact on our shared success.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

* Understand pain points, come up with solutions, and then prototype, iterate, and launch frequently.

* Strong opinions on testing & code quality.

* Over 3 years experience with Ruby.

* Experience with Heroku, ElasticSearch, Postgres, or Redis a plus.

WHAT WE OFFER

* Free lunch and dinner.

* Endless snacks and beverages.

* Flexible work hours.

* Open vacation policy. We don't count days.

* If you're sick, just stay home and get better.

* Stand up desks, mac book pros, cinema displays...Buy or build your ideal work environment

* A sunny office space.

* Competitive salary and equity package.

* Health, dental and vision benefits.

* Team "Workations” where we all travel somewhere for a week for a change of environment

We’re located in Mission, San Francisco, CA. It would be great if you are local or willing to relocate (we'll cover the cost) but we’ll also open to telecommuting as long as you are located in the US and it is legal for you to work here.

Please apply by sending any work, resume, github username to jobs@assemblymade.com
