Pathgather - NYC - Senior/Lead Frontend Engineer (pathgather.com)

We’re a Techstars NYC 2014 startup looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer, a Javascript expert that can come in and own one of the most engaging interfaces in the enterprise market today.

Our product is an enterprise learning platform that - unlike traditional systems - is one employees actually want to use. We’re solving a big problem felt by almost all large companies: how to continuously train and educate your workforce with modern/relevant content. More than 75% of all companies use a Learning Management System (LMS) for this, but their > 60% dissatisfaction rate shows these systems simply don’t work. We’re changing that.

What we're looking for:

* Javascript/Coffeescript expertise

* Strong experience with AngularJS

* UX focus

* Design skills a huge bonus

* Ruby/Rails knowledge another bonus, but certainly supplemental

What we can offer:

* A (more than) competitive salary & equity

* Opportunities to contribute to the open source community. Every Friday, you have the opportunity to work on anything open source: you can contribute to existing projects, work on your own, or open source a part of our codebase.

* An awesome team to work with, in an awesome location (Union Square in NYC)

* A chance to have a truly influential role at a fast-growing, ambitious startup!

If any of this sounds interesting or if you have some questions, please reach out to me at jamie@pathgather.com. Thanks!
