Original posting

Versame | Palo Alto, CA | Full-Time | On-site - http://www.versame.com We're changing the way the world thinks about education, one child at a time. Our first product, the Starling, is a fitbit for word tracking. Our technology stack is mainly around JavaScript on the backend and web, Swift on iOS, and native Android. Our stack share is here. http://stackshare.io/versame/versame We're hiring two software positions: Lead Server Engineer (AWS/Node.js) Why is this job important? We process lots of data (one person talks roughly 10,000 words to their child a day) and need servers that don't fall over. What will you learn on this job? You'll have the opportunity to see everything from general web scaling, to big data initiatives, to automated development operations. Full Stack Engineer (Node.js/React/your preference) Why is this job important? Software is the life blood of our product to change people's behavior. We need someone who is skilled not only with coding our solution, but to provide guidance. We'll fail without a strong candidate. What will you learn on this job? You will be exposed to every facet of technology that a consumer based wearable company encounters. We want individuals who are willing to tinker and provide fact based evidence for decisions to learn new technologies. Email hiring AT versame DOT com for more info. NO recruiters.
