Full-stack dev co-founder for web-service infrastructure startup -- SFBay, possibly remote initially. H1B-okay Looking for a technical co-founder to join technical founder in an ambitious startup that aims to solve a widespread pain point in business-consumer interaction. This isn't a todo or photo-sharing app. If successful it will be an important part of web infrastructure that many people use but hardly think about. No hype, no quirkiness, no ego. It has a sane business model that doesn't depend on advertising or acquisition. Once established it will exhibit a moat that will make competition very difficult. You must: - be proficient with full-stack web development and have demonstrable experience through work products - be driven, gritty, hard-nosed, goal focused - be very intelligent (preferably with credentials) - have shown that you can transfer your problem solving ability to different fields (accomplished background/education in another field like physics, biology, philosophy? Write about topics outside CS/Eng/tech? Solved problems in another field?) - get things done - be technically talented in general - be self-directed and self-sufficient - be able to find out what needs to be done, what tools are needed and learn how to use those tools. - be able to take ownership of nearly all the technical stack of a typical web service - be able to communicate effectively: be articulate, sometimes have strong opinions and be able to defend them without being dogmatic. - be critical: You shouldn't believe the hype or be a conformist. You should be able to analyze issues independently and come to your own conclusions. You should have some justifiable convictions that are not in line with popular sentiment. - be thoughtful: You should often think about how to make things better, what things are broken, how things fit into the bigger picture and about things happening in the world. - Knowledge of web security and how to apply cryptography a plus. Open to existing 2-3 person teams also. Open to recent graduates, grad school dropouts and those with experience. When responding please enclose a link or attachment to relevant work product samples along with a short resume and short introductory letter. No contractors. fullstackcofounder@gmail.com
