Calling all Software Engineers (Austin, TX)
Seeing Interactive is
Dedicated to saving local newspapers. Our flagship product, Marketplace, is a local business directory and review site that relies on special market knowledge that only a local newspaper can provide. We’re already serving thousands of customers and would like your help to serve millions. We’re a YC startup, funded, ramen profitable, and chaotic good.
The Reason You Want to Work Here
You’ve read a dozen other job listings, and they’re all starting to sound the same. If we listed our job requirements, you’d be hearing a lot of the same stuff you’ve already heard: Ruby, Rails, MySQL, blah, blah, blah. We’ll spare you.
What we really want is someone who loves to do great work, who loves to hone their craft, and who loves to think.
The Way of the Samurai
Seeing Interactive’s development culture is focused on mastery. No matter how good you are when you come in, it is our goal to make every day a day for self-improvement. Code reviews, pair programming, etudes, show-and-tell — whatever it takes, we want to do it to make you even better at the craft that you love.
