Full-stack dev co-founder for web-service infrastructure startup -- SFBay, possibly remote initially. H1B-okay
Looking for a technical co-founder to join technical founder in an
ambitious startup that aims to solve a widespread pain point in
business-consumer interaction.
This isn't a todo or photo-sharing app. If successful it will be an
important part of web infrastructure that many people use but hardly
think about. No hype, no quirkiness, no ego.
It has a sane business model that doesn't depend on advertising or
acquisition.
Once established it will exhibit a moat that will make competition
very difficult.
You must:
- be proficient with full-stack web development and have demonstrable experience through work products
- be driven, gritty, hard-nosed, goal focused
- be very intelligent (preferably with credentials)
- have shown that you can transfer your problem solving ability to different fields (accomplished background/education in another field like physics, biology, philosophy? Write about topics outside CS/Eng/tech? Solved problems in another field?)
- get things done
- be technically talented in general
- be self-directed and self-sufficient
- be able to find out what needs to be done, what tools are needed and
learn how to use those tools.
- be able to take ownership of nearly all the technical stack of a typical web service
- be able to communicate effectively: be articulate, sometimes have strong opinions and be able to defend them without being dogmatic.
- be critical: You shouldn't believe the hype or be a conformist. You
should be able to analyze issues independently and come to your own
conclusions. You should have some justifiable convictions that are
not in line with popular sentiment.
- be thoughtful: You should often think about how to make things
better, what things are broken, how things fit into the bigger
picture and about things happening in the world.
- Knowledge of web security and how to apply cryptography a plus.
Open to existing 2-3 person teams also.
Open to recent graduates, grad school dropouts and those with experience.
When responding please enclose a link or attachment to relevant work
product samples along with a short resume and short introductory
letter.
You can do this this with contractors as well. It's not optimal because law and tax are skewed against the contractor, but it's still ok, when you account for the % of successful startups.
