Circles | London, UK (No remote) | Ruby/Swift/Java/JavaScript/React Native
Circles was founded in 2016 with the belief that when it comes to supporting each other, social networks are the wrong model. Our idea is that an inner circle of trusted people, empowered with tools that enable them to be more effective and connected to the individual’s needs is the best model for long term care. Our first focus is on issues related to mental health.
The full job specs are at <a href=", but in brief we're looking for:
- A senior backend engineer to work on our (currently) Rails driven API system, along with the associated operations.
- A senior mobile engineer to work on our React Native front-ends, which also have native code components
- Less senior mobile engineers to work on the React Native/native code front end systems.
As we're small, everyone will probably do a bit of everything, including helping to build our "prompting engine": a real time, privacy centric data analytics platform to give insights to your trusted circle members about your state.
We're a new company, funded, and pretty tech agnostic. We don't believe in below market salaries for startups, so you'll be paid at market rate and still have options for equity. We're also trying to create an environment in line with our product direction: a supportive group of peers trying to do good work without damaging ourselves or others. We do remote and on-site work, but can't really support a totally remote employee, so you'll need to be available in London a few times a week. Alas, we also can't sponsor visas.
If anyone would like more information than the job specs provide, please just  ping me directly on REDACTED_EMAILe.
