Hiring Full Time Engineers
We are a lean team of 13 Engineers on a huge mission to open science.  We are building a better platform for researchers because the current publication system is too slow, inefficient and costly.  We are doing this using Rails, Coffeescript, Backbone, and PostgreSQL, all hosted on AWS.
According to EdTech Magazine, we are tech underdogs who are “key disruptors among open-access publishers.”

And we are viewed by Wired as “a key player in the movement toward open access scientific publishing.”

We have 14MM users who support our mission and we are growing 10% per month.  We are financially backed with $17MM by top VCs including Khosla Ventures, True Ventures and Spark Capital.
