Moat Boat is hiring two experienced programmers (San Francisco, ONSITE), one interested in leading and doing, the other more interested in doing.
Moat Boat is a tool for thinking creatively together inside virtual reality. Whatever you say, just starts happening around you. It's a little crazy. We're very early (two of us), pre-product, post-prototype, funded, and excited to be working from first principles to figure out what it means to think and create inside this new medium.
I previously made Simplenote/Simperium (YC S10), which we sold to WordPress.com, and before that I worked at Irrational Games (makers of BioShock). My co-founder Katrika led design on Labs teams for Office, Xbox, and Windows at Microsoft. It's just the two of us. This is our first public job posting. We don't have a hiring page yet. Our site will be refreshed soon (moatboat.com).
We don't have free lunch or lots of ping pong tables. We're not killing it or growing explosively or hiring Engineer #20 to fulfill specific duty X.
We do have reasonable salary, generous equity, a strategy/runway for riding out the VR hype until it goes mainstream, and many fun technical and design challenges. We're looking for another lady and/or gentleman to join the founding team as peers. A good fit could be a very experienced fullstack or frontend dev looking to dive into something more game-like, or an experienced game dev looking to build something that's not just fun, but also impactful. hello-AT our domain if you're looking for a change.
