We’re looking for a Full Stack Developer, one of the first to join the Jovio engineering team in Austin, TX. As a necessarily impactful contributor to the successful launch of the MVP, ideal candidates will have at least a few years’ professional experience developing responsive, end-to-end web applications with Ruby on Rails, using a relational database like MySQL or PostgreSQL, and exposure to front-end JavaScript web technology like React (what we’re using). We integrate with various RESTful APIs and plan to augment our data with bulk data delivery from industry partners. We are looking for someone who has a customer-first focus, a passion for product, and an appetite for quality, performance, and improvement. In sum, this is a unique opportunity to join an early stage, well-funded tech-centric company and learn a massive amount while accelerating your career in a high-stakes industry where you are directly participating in ensuring the rewards outweigh the risks.

You’ll collaborate with the founding CEO and an accomplished technical advisor at the start. We have been working with a software development firm to build out the MVP (they’ve done this for other successful venture-backed US companies), and you will collaborate with them as we transition ownership of the code to you and the in-house team in Austin. You will also soon be collaborating with a team of developers that you’ll participate and have a key voice in hiring. There is a major opportunity here for team leadership, both technically and managerially.

You’ll add value by playing a key role in delivering the first version of the Jovio product for Alpha release. You will have the opportunity to participate in conducting usability testing. Furthermore, you’ll create value by crafting the technical product roadmap which includes development on AI, machine learning, proprietary algorithms, beacons, and native mobile apps. (We don’t expect you to be an expert in everything, so we understand you will both learn new things and that you will need to also help us identify where we need to staff up in areas of technical gaps.)

You will be compensated by a competitive blend of salary, benefits, and equity. We will set you up with the tools and equipment you need. We will respect and trust you with your professional technical decisions. You will help us shape the culture and help us become a company that attracts talented individuals like yourself. You will do the best and most rewarding work of your career so far. We are really inspired by Netflix’s “Seven Aspects of our Culture”
