[JOB] Lead Developer, NYC [I had to post this job. I wish I could take it - sounds awesome!]
Our client is an ecommerce site with a twist....Not only do they we sell high-end luxury items in women's fashion, but they do so in a way that allows the consumer to "bid" on items in an online auction marketplace. Sort of like a "priceline for the fashion industry". They are in the final stages of due diligence with 2 VC firms and will soon have between 750,000 and 1 MM in additional seed funding, not including the angel funding that has propelled them to this point. The company is just 2 people right now, but the product has already been built, and they are looking for a CTO / Lead Developer. If you've only been out of school for a couple of years, but have prior startup experience and you're a brilliant developer with an entrepreneurial spirit, they'd like to hear from you. They are a small and nimble team and you will be working very frequently with the Founders. Their site is written in PHP (+ MySQL) and Node.js (+ Redis). Their eCommerce platform uses the open source framework called Protean. The version control system is Git so they need someone with advanced LAMP capabilities / experience and, ideally, some experience with Node / Redis and Git. Other skill sets that are helpful: XHTML, CSS3, and HTML5 (until they hire a Front-end developer); experience working with third-party APIs including the Facebook platform; Photoshop / Illustrator capabilities are helpful as well, though they already have a graphic designer who does amazing UI / design work; leadership skills, but not afraid to get your hands dirty and do a significant amount of coding; architect a cloud infrastructure that can scale to billions of hits; and most importantly: we need someone who believes in the core product, has a crazy work ethic, and loves the start-up world. * 100-115k salary plus 10-15% equity . * Results-based workplace with unlimited paid time off. * Company-covered health insurance. * Reimbursement and time off for professional development and conferences. * Open workspace in Union Square!
