Job Description

We're looking for someone to join our team working on our Website and APIs.

You'll have the opportunity to influence the technical and product decisions at an early stage company that's rethinking radio.

You'll shape the future of podcasts by helping to craft an exceptional experience for our apps and on the web, and construct world class tools for producers to reach their listeners and build a sustainable business.

We currently have a mix of AWS Lambda (using Node), Ruby on Rails, Postgres, and ElasticSearch on the backend, and CSS, HTML, XML, and some XSLT for good measure on the frontend.

• You like being nice and working with nice people.
• You're interested in taking ownership of administering ElasticSearch, slinging CSS, and everything else that speaks HTTP.

BONUS ROUND

• You've had a nightmare about the esoteric incantations of API Gateway (but also think Lambda & API Gateway are pretty awesome together).
• You've got opinions on Docker, RSS, and Typescript that you can back up with experience.
• You've worked on a distributed team before.
• You love writing BigQuery … queries.
• You've got some Open Source contributions under your belt.

Benefits

• A New MacBook & Large Monitor (or equivalent, tell us what tools you need to do a great job)
• Healthcare, Paid Vacation, 401K Matching
• Competitive Salary & Employee Stock Options
