Gaia GPS | Remote | Software Developer
Help build the future of outdoor mapping at Gaia GPS. We work as a distributed 12-person team, currently throughout the US and Canada. Gaia GPS is boot-strapped, has been in business since 2009, and we hired 3 people in the last 3 months based on 8 months of crazy growth.
Every single person at the company makes and builds. Ten of twelve people contribute to the code, and everyone contributes to the writing, media, and product design.
We have the most flexible work environment, which lets all of us balance family and other interests, with work.
We offer 4 weeks of vacation, and another 12 paid holidays that can be shuffled around. We provide 2 months of paid maternity, 1 month of paid paternity, and additional unpaid leave.
We provide the best computers, monitors, tablets, and other home office equipment. We reimburse home internet and mobile phone bills. We also have an annual 4-day retreat, such as to Tahoe, to hang-out and mingle the remote team. We like to comp expenses for any sort of books or other materials for learning.
If you already use Gaia GPS or other technology outdoors, tell us about it. We heavily favor candidates who do. You must have published complex websites, apps, or other software. Your application should include links to either open source software, or apps/websites you have helped build.
Email REDACTED_EMAIL. We intend to complete this hiring round in July or August. Our interview process is a series of technical interviews via video chat, with no onsites because we have no HQ.
