Mercury | San Francisco Onsite | Frontend Engineer

Hi, we're hiring for a new fintech startup. We currently plan to hire 3–4 engineers, and we're looking for one frontend engineer. You can email me for details, but broadly the frontend work will be dashboards, basic graphs, standard user flows, with a moderate level of interactivity.

You:

• Are comfortable working as the sole/primary frontend engineer on a greenfield project.
• Have several years experience doing frontend work.
• Ideally can translate designs from an in-house designer to HTML and CSS. Possibly some CSS work can be contracted out though.

Tech stack: More-or-less TBD.

• Frontend: As the primary frontend engineer, you'll be shaping this, but we're planning to use React or Elm, depending on who we hire as as frontend developer.
• Backend: Some statically typed language, potentially Go.

Funding: 6 million seed round

Investors:

• Firms: Andreesen Horowitz, SV Angel, Liquid2 Ventures.
• Individuals: Naval Ravikant (Founder AngelList), Jared Friedman (Founder Scribd), Justin Kan (Founder Twitch), James Tamplin (CEO Firebase), Tomer London (Founder Gusto), Joshua Reeves (Founder Gusto) (and many more).

Location: 81 Langton St, San Francisco CA (3 blocks south of Civic Center/BART)

On-site preferable. At our previous company we had great success with employees transitioning from on-site to full-time remote, as well as splitting time between the office and e.g. the East Bay. We would possibly take a full remote candidate if they had good overlap with Pacific time working hours and generally seemed like a stellar candidate.

Team: Immad Akhund (CEO), founder @ Heyzap (YC 09), which was acquired for 45mm in January 2016.

Me: CTO. Background in iOS (NSMeetup talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkaRqagMwZQ), Haskell (Screencast https://youtu.be/SadfV-qbVg8). Github: https://github.com/MaxGabriel/. StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/users/1176156/maxgabriel

Other founder: Stealth for now

Compensation: Depends on experience, but probably in the low-to-mid 1XX,000 range, plus equity.

Please send resume/Github/StackOverflow, or anything you think would be helpful in evaluating you as a candidate (conference talks, code samples, links to PRs, etc.) to max@mercury.co. You can PM me for details as well.
