FiftyThree makes tools for mobile creation.
Our first product was Paper for iPad, an app to let you capture your freeform ideas. It won both an Apple Design Award and App of the Year (2012).
Our second product was Pencil, an active stylus that works especially well with Paper. It too has received critical acclaim (e.g. "the best iPad stylus yet" —The Verge).
We're hard at work on our third major product, a sharing and collaboration service to bring your ideas together. And we'd love your help in shipping it.
We're looking for experienced back-end web engineers, both on the purely programming side and on the operations side. Our jobs page has all the details, but the highlights are:
- We run our app on Node.js (w/ CoffeeScript) deployed to Heroku.
- We run our non-app infrastructure (e.g. our Neo4j database) on AWS, e.g. EC2 and Route 53.
- We automate with Ansible and bash (moving over to Node.js).
Experience with most/all of these isn't expected, but at this stage, we are looking for existing experience somewhere. Show us what you've built.
It's not every day you find a startup that's building both software and hardware, that's making multiple things people love, that's making significant revenue from day one even as a consumer company, and that strongly values a maker culture at the same time.
If this sounds interesting to you, please do reach out. <a href="http://www.fiftythree.com/jobs" > == REDACTED_EMAIL
We look forward to hearing from you!
