  • Local preferred, but remote okay

  • Code features using test-driven development to be shipped the following week
  • Test code in dev environment
  • Ship bug-free code that delights millions of users
  • Use data to tweak and iterate your features

Your manager’s working style?

  • Flexible and coaching driven
  • Encourages pushback and involvement in the strategic roadmap decisions
  • Prefers autonomy and ownership and hates to micro-manage
  • Like proactive development and minimal hand-holding

What Results Would You Drive?

  • Drawdown 30% of our Engineering Roadmap over the next year

  • You will be an individual contributor helping shape the future of AppSumo!
  • Flexible work hours. Need to run an errand, hit the gym, or meet a friend for lunch? Go for it.
  • Speaking of travel - we don't just not track vacation days. We encourage it (the best ideas happen outside of the office)
  • Awesome office with paid lunches, unlimited drinks, snacks, and fully stocked bar
  • Weekly massages
  • Two company trips per year where we go to the local Hilton conference room to synergize our efficiencies. Just kidding. Last trip we went to a mansion in Mexico, hired a private chef and bartender, and sipped drinks in the infinity pool.

We don't care about your resume - we care about your passion. Good work leaves breadcrumbs on the web.

We'd love to see it.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested, send us your github or links to your favorite projects.
