i.TV - New York City, Provo, Utah or remote

Us:

[i.TV](http://i.tv) is a growing second screen startup focusing on social television. Stuff we make:

* [tvtag](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tvtag-formerly-getglue/id377...), an iOS app that helps people have conversations about live tv.

* [Nintendo TVii](http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu/built-in-software#/tvii), the TV app on the WiiU. It is a single-page app that runs on the WiiU browser.

* [Optik Smart Remote](http://www.telus.com/tv/apps/optik-smart-remote/), an iOS and Android app for [Telus](http://telus.com). Basically the Comcast of Canada.

We have other fun things, like racks of servers processing live television to create and store thumbnails, tools to create games and other content around tv shows, etc.

We are a small-ish team of 13 engineers spread between Utah and New York. We communicate over team chat and screen-sharing to make remote people feel welcome. Our workflow is based around trust and helping developers be productive, which means flexible hours, remote friendly, loose vacation policy, whatever equipment you want among other things.

We are also still small enough that we don’t have tons of organized hierarchy, and passionate people can have a large impact on product, company culture, engineering practices, etc. We do 20% time, send people to conferences, and have Thursday brown bags to share things we learn. We aren’t perfect, but we try to make it a great place to be a developer.

Right now our backend architecture is lots of node.js, some Golang and a smattering of Python. MongoDB is our main data store, and we use RabbitMQ as a messaging layer. Our clients are built with iOS, Android, Angular, Backbone, and React among other things.
