Slant - Palo Alto, CA [Remote possible]
- Who we are:
Slant helps people discover what products/services are best for them. We’re trying to take all the knowledge needed to make an informed decision, typically buried in reviews, forums, and blogs, and make it quick and easy to digest. By making it simpler to access trustworthy and useful information, we hope to help make the world just a little more informed.
We’re currently a small team of three: two experienced developers and a “non-technical” founder whose last job was building satellites for NASA.
A major revision to the current product is in the works, but you can see a live version here:  www.slant.co. Some info on our investors/advisors: <a href="https://angel.co/slant" >
- Our tech
Backbone-based front-end, with improvements to allow it to run on both client- and server- side, and as both a single- and multi- page app. RESTful backend written in functional Coffeescript on Node.js, with a temporal postgres database that allows for rewinding to a previous state. The codebase is written in Coffeescript, Jade, and Stylus. Entertaining git history. Gratuitous use of Monads.
- What we're looking for
We're a multidisciplinary team, so we'd love to hear from full-stack/frontend/backend engineers as well as designers familiar with html/css. We're optimizing more for hiring someone talented, rather than for a specific role. If you’re interested in learning more, email me at REDACTED_EMAIL
