From ITP Alum, Noah King…
Who We Are – Hi, we’re the founders of giftplum.com. We’re a four-month old startup building a product that transforms the online gift giving experience. Our team is made up of two programmers, two Harvard Business Schoolers, and one product ninja. Earlier this month we launched a closed beta of our site, but we’re looking to expand our team as we prepare for a full public launch at the end of the summer.
We’re driven entrepreneurs who thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. We’re willing to take risks, but also have years of experience running startups, selling ideas, and securing funding for our companies.
Who You Are –
(Back-end Developer) You are a creative coder with fluency in PHP / MySQL and familiarity with the Facebook API. You write clean, organized code, are detail-oriented, and love thinking through complex problems. You don’t take yourself too seriously, except when you’re playing Words with Friends with your ex.
(Front-end Developer) You are a combination of a designer and programmer with fluency in HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery, and Adobe’s Creative Suite. You are equally comfortable building beautiful interfaces as you are building compliant webpages that load fast and don’t break. Bonus points if you know the female part to “Islands in the Stream” and are willing to sing it at karaoke with our CEO.
We’re located in Boston, but are looking for talent in either Boston or New York to work remotely and meet in person, as needed. If you’re looking to dive into the startup world, like to chase spoonfuls of wasabi with sake bombs, and want to have an amazing work experience this summer, drop us a line:jobs@giftplum.com
