We're a two-sided marketplace that does matchmaking between professional artisans / craftsmen and buyers. You post your dreams, we find someone to make it real. People come up with some crazy ideas like a custom made quidditch set / proposal ring: <a href="http://blog.custommade.com/portfolio/a-very-harry-potter-proposal/" >http://blog.custommade.com/portfolio/a-very-harry-potter-pro...</a>
We're funded by Google Ventures and a ton of others: <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/company/custommade-ventures" >http://www.crunchbase.com/company/custommade-ventures</a> So paying you well is not an issue.
We're right at the point where all the graphs are hockey-stick shaped and we're breaking our own records every week. Of course, with that comes scaling challenges. But it's all part of the fun.
We have a great team and a great environment that focuses on customers and product development. I get to collaborate with product / UX / support people day to day to build a product that meets a real business need, and makes everyone happy. But when I just need to bang out some code, people leave me alone. Work / life balance is great. Bureaucracy is at a minimum.
More about our stack / team here: <a href="http://engineering.custommade.com" >http://engineering.custommade.com</a>
You're a programmer who has pushed code to production innumerable times, and doesn't cringe at the prospect of collaborating with a team of non-techies every so often. You know the modern web stack well, and specialize in at least one part of it.
