We’re a growing, collaborative, passionate team building the world’s #1 Hackathon platform. ChallengePost already powers meaningful software competitions around the world and now we’ve got our sights set on becoming the best place to showcase software.

What We’re Looking For:

You have a strong commitment to building great, well-factored code. You take pride in your work. You do well in teams. Developers and designers you’ve worked with think extremely highly of you and your work.

As a web developer on our team, you’ll have a huge impact on all of our current and future projects. You’ll contribute to product design, implementation, deployment, refinement, and ongoing performance tuning.

For the past several years, you’ve been:

  • Shipping web applications to production

  • Treating software engineering as a craft and exploring it outside of your day job

We’d Like to See:

  • Experience developing, releasing, and maintaining web applications
  • Comfort with a server-side MVC framework (e.g. Ruby on Rails, Django, etc.)
  • Ability to write elegant, readable code
  • Attention to software development fundamentals
  • Track record of collaboration and leadership in agile software methodologies

Bonus Points:

  • Experience with front-end technologies, libraries and frameworks (e.g. HTML/CSS, jQuery, Ember.js, Backbone, etc.)
  • Evidence of community involvement, i.e. open source contributions on Github, StackOverflow questions/answers, SlideShare presentations, ChallengePost portfolio showcasing your projects

Salary and Benefits:

  • Competitive Salary
  • Stock Options
  • Great Benefits
  • Stocked kitchen and Team Lunch Thursdays

The position is for full-time employment, on-site at our office in NYC’s Meatpacking District.

If you’d like to join the team and make a meaningful difference in the world through your code on day one, send us a copy of your resume and a note sharing a little about you and why you might be a good fit. Please also provide a link to source code for a recent project that exemplifies your work.
