Partner-in-Crime (developer) for Hachi Labs, Inc.
We are looking to add one more technical member to our core founding team.
Check out our splash page http://www.gohachi.com/ - if it piques your interest (don't go by UI - revamp in process), ping us at info@hachilabs.com, and we’ll provide you with an invite code to play with the app.
And if you enjoy playing with it, and have ideas on how you can take it notches above, then let’s talk! We can’t tell you how anxiously we’ve been waiting to hear from you.
A li’l about us - We’re a small team - crazy enough to leave our cozy comfy jobs, near-perfect silicon valley life, pumping in our hard earned savings in to the startup, and working anywhere between 10-15 hour days (what's a weekend??!) ...and loving every minute of it. We do keep getting help, every now and then, from our awesome friends and others. And, we have insanely rocking super star entrepreneurs, investors from silicon valley advising us! Overall the team is star-studded (so to say) with IIT, Stanford, Urbana Champaign alums.. though we don't really care so much about pedigree, but the passion and value each member brings to the team.
We have an alpha product, and we’re working with a set of early adopters to evolve it further. The feedback from our alpha users is encouraging - to say the least... and that also means, we have lots to do. That’s why we’re looking to add one more member - hopefully, you!
Our beta list is steadily growing and is impressive enough to pique the interest of some angel investors in silicon valley.
This is not just a cool product we're building, but a viable business. It's $11+ billion industry and rapidly growing, and money is already being made. And we are fundable. We were just offered a $40K grant opportunity (no equity involved) - we decided to pass (we’re happy to share our reasons, when we talk more with you). Besides, we’ve already opened discussions with angel investors in the US. That said, we can comfortably do without funding for a reasonable amount of time (remember - the hard earned savings?!). We are incorporated in US.
A li’l about you - You should have some background in Computer Science, be it in the form of hobby programming, involvement in open source projects or something equivalent. Having built an app from scratch is a big huge plus!
We don't care if you are not familiar with the tools and technologies we use (CakePHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery, social network APIs), so long as you are superbly confident that you can pick them up quickly and write and push code to live site! It would be a big plus if you have an eye for good UI.
We are looking for someone who shares our entrepreneurial passion, is ambitious, open to ideas, has an appetite for startup roller-coaster ride.
This will be an equity based role - atleast till we're funded. We’d highly prefer someone who can commit full time. We're currently camping in Bangalore - India (may move back to silicon valley at some point), and we're open to working remotely.
Ping us right away, if this is YOU!
