Our future and fellow Temboolean has a head for computation and an eye for design. This developer-designer or designer-developer masterfully uses technology to serve humanist ends. At one point, our Product Lead-to-be was a software developer, a superb tactical negotiator of Time and Quality, a designer of user experiences, and a wise listening tree. Let our Product Lead be able to harness engineering, business, and design power in order to build a lovingly crafted, user-oriented product. Wherever they might be, please convey the following information about us and who we seek:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.temboo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Temboo<\/a>\u00a0is a small, solid start-up full of smart people who love to learn from each other, and are motivated by a larger sense of a purpose. Our mission is to impact and improve the ways technology is created and put to use: we&#8217;re changing the way code gets written, and in doing so, removing barriers to making. By building tools that work with the cloud, we make it possible for developers to focus on the &#8216;what&#8217; and &#8216;why&#8217; of app invention while we take care of the &#8216;how.&#8217; Our intelligent code snippets called Choreos are instantly deployable, updatable, modular and scalable. They make playing with APIs simple, and implementing otherwise time-consuming and technically difficult processes (like handling authentication) nearly automagical. The result: a new wave of makers, cities, and industries that can call upon the clouds and bring forth innovative and meaningful technology that will improve lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The Product Lead is an especially important role because you&#8217;ll work directly with everyone at Temboo, from our founders to our beloved users.
