We’re (https://www.underdog.io) looking to make our first hire, a Lead Software Engineer in New York City.
Today, we're is a curated, two-sided marketplace for talent. We help growing startups hire amazing people across all verticals at a fraction of the cost of traditional recruiting firms. We're moving toward a bigger opportunity involving information exchange across networks of companies.
In the interest of full transparency, it's a big job with lots of positives and negatives.
The Good:
• Traction (https://medium.com/@joshuagoldstein/our-first-four-months-bu...) after a few months.
• Proven business model - we're making money every month.
• Chance to get common stock in a bootstrapped startup = big upside.
• Full technical autonomy. Today, we're using popular languages and tools - Python/Flask, PostgreSQL, Elastic Search, S3, etc. - but you'd have the opportunity to make changes.
• Work out of Founder Collective's space in SoHo.
• Work with great freelance designers and advisors.
The Bad:
• Less structure and certainty than a funded startup.
• Fairly tight budget until we raise a round.
• Only full-time developer until we build an engineering team.
Email chris@underdog.io to apply.
Sorry, we can't sponsor visa candidates.
