We don't have a rigid idea for what we are looking for in our next senior developer, but we want what Joel Spolsky describes as a good dev: “Smart, and gets things done.” We have a big emphasis on getting things done.
You will be working with a team that has decades of combined media industry/tech experience (Gawker Media/Rolling Stone/Vox/Evernote). So while you’ll be expected to handle complex problems on your own, there will also be developers that have been doing this for awhile and can offer advice or answer questions.
Some dev teams love to build complex architecture and new frameworks. Not us. Every day, we try to build/fix according to business needs. We are at a critical point in the company’s growth, and if it executes correctly, the company can succeed wildly. Come be a part of this success.
Our team is distributed and works across multiple time zones, so there is flexibility with work hours. The entire company works remotely.
