Original posting

The Infatuation | Platform Engineer | NYC, NYC | https://theinfatuation.com The Infatuation started out with two guys who wanted to help their friends find not only great restaurants, but the right restaurant to suit their needs on a particular evening. Now it's grown to more than 20 full time employees, a website, a newsletter, a huge social media reach (#EEEEEATS), mobile apps, and a text message recommendation service. This was all done with basically ZERO product investment. The good news is they've realized this and raised a series A to transition from an editorial/blog into a utility platform ala an expert curated Yelp/Foursquare. I came on this summer to build out a great engineering team. They've done in what my opinion is the hard work of building a brand with an audience in the millions, now it's our job to 10x that with great products. We're looking for someone with 4+ years web development experience to contribute to and take ownership of the platform that runs https://theinfatuation.com. This platform is the life blood of our products and powers all digital incarnations of The Infatuation. It's a Django app and we will be carving out pieces into individual Python/Go services (search, registration, recommendations, etc.). If this induces some heavy breathing reach out to me at buck@theinfatuation.com. Adios! -Buck
