Overview
Engineering
BookBub is unlike just about any other startup in Boston; we’ve bootstrapped our way to millions of members with a small engineering team. Now that we’ve proved that millions of consumers love BookBub, we need to grow and expand our products and features. Our situation is unique because we’re small enough that each engineer owns significant chunks of the product, but we’re big enough that everything we build is seen by millions. It also means we’re fortunate to be able to offer good market-rate salaries and more equity than is typically found with a company at this stage.
Mobile
BookBub is looking to build out our mobile products – this is a greenfield opportunity for our iOS and Android apps. We need some developers with significant mobile experience who are excite to take a leadership role guiding our mobile apps.
We’re Looking For
* Smart, intellectually curious developers with significant iOS and/or Android experience
* Excited to be part of the small core engineering team with a huge engineering opportunity to build out a consumer web platform
* Want to go fast, but at a sustainable pace — we’re running a marathon, not a sprint
* People who want to learn our tech stack if they don’t already know it: so far it’s a really clean Rails app (Ruby 2.1, Rails 4.1, Postgresql, Haml, Sass, CoffeeScript, ActiveAdmin, Sidekiq, Redis, Capybara, Poltergeist…) running on top of great services like AWS, Github, New Relic, Semaphore, CodeClimate, Papertrail, etc.
