Shortform | REMOTE | Full-stack Engineer | Full-time / Part-time | $120-200k
<a href="
Do you like reading non-fiction books? Do you find yourself forgetting what you read days later, and feeling like you never absorbed the book's lessons?
Shortform is a book summary product that aims to make ideas actionable. It differs from existing book summary products in 3 major ways:
1) an emphasis on applying the lessons from books, through interactive exercises
2) high-quality summaries, with in-depth chapter by chapter summaries
3) building a community of learners who support each other to apply the lessons from books
Company status: We're in early development. The product roadmap is clear and we're building our engineering team. Shortform is seed-funded by the founder, who has built multiple bootstrapped and profitable companies.
Technology: We haven't finalized the stack but are circulating around Angular/Vue.js/React on frontend, Django/Node.js/Rails on backend. You can help contribute to this decision.
About the role: Ideally you're fullstack on the web, and comfortable on both front-end and back-end. Experience building mobile apps is a plus. Position is remote (current team is in Boston and Chicago). Fulltime / parttime roles available. We're able to pay competitive market salaries (i.e. not decreased by equity).
