Moveline (TechStars NYC '12) is transforming an industry older than the internal combustion engine.

We’re looking for a solid full-stack javascript engineer who loves Settlers of Catan, remote development, and can tell the difference between an IPA and a Lager.

ABOUT US

We’re passionate about building software that dramatically improves the customer experience, end-to-end, around moving. Our web product is at the heart of it.

We are also working with a world-class set of investors and advisors, who you’ll have the opportunity to meet and interact with on a regular basis.

ABOUT YOU

- You are fluent in Javascript – our stack is MEAN: Mongo/Express/Angular/Node (and Backbone) – and you are interested in Golang, which we're using to build out some sweet services

- You are passionate about code and elegant solutions as well as user experience, and want to work with others who are similarly so. You can’t sleep at night knowing you left something not DRY’d and tested

- You have architected and developed end-to-end products that are currently running business applications on a production environment

- You have an obsessive attention to detail

- You thrive when you are working closely with others on a small team

- You want to build stuff that solves real human problems

- You can explain the differences, chemical and philosophical, between a lager and an IPA

- You have a panic attack if you don’t push code before noon

- You don’t care that the moving industry isn’t sexy

- You would rather make money than make the front page of TechCrunch (though we do that too)

COMPENSATION

Market salary and meaningful equity is available. We’re primarily a remote engineering team, with the company (ops, marketing, customer service) based in Las Vegas in the heart of Tony Hsieh’s Downtown Project. Hackers in Vegas or remote in the US welcome.

Full Time or Contract-to-Hire only please. No freelancers or recruiters need apply.

Are you concerned at all that your job posting may be unnecessarily gendered? I understand that lots of people enjoy board games and beer, but in America they have a lot of strong associations with male-only culture.
If you would've clicked through and seen that one of the co-founders was female, maybe we could've avoided this comment.
I did click through before I wrote it. It looked like the 'programmer' side of the business was entirely male. That doesn't really mean anything- there's not enough female programmers to go around- but it didn't assuage any of my worries about the post.

I might be a little sensitive though. Before I read that, I had just sent the thread to a woman I know who is looking for a new job, and her immediate reaction was "I don't want to work with brogrammers."

How am I supposed to play Settlers with you if I'm remote?
