HighlightCam (YC S09) seeks: Lead Core Engineer, iOS, Web Dev, Video Engineer
HighlightCam wants to change how people make (and share) movies. Think about a future where people don’t share pictures, that it’s so easy to make a movie that they just share those instead. Our app lets users create professional-quality videos – automatically. Server-based editors scan for the best content in the pictures and video, add special effects, and then send the finished movie for the user to share with their friends. Cool, huh?

We look for smart people who want to be measured by what they bring to the table. It’s a small team, so you can provide input on every step of the development cycle - from product planning to final delivery of the product. Communication is very important so that nothing falls through the cracks here. We're focused on iterating quickly, so you'll deal with short sprint cycles coordinated across multiple scrum teams. And if what you just read interests you, then we want to talk with you!

You:

• Smart

• Eager to join a growing startup

• Good at communicating (discuss features, bugs, API calls, etc.)

• Appreciation for sarcasm
