Aptible (YC S14) is hiring front-end engineers
Brooklyn/Remote

We are looking for experienced, design-minded engineers to help build simple, beautiful, intuitive tools for complicated problems.

Aptible’s mission is to help our customers work safely with the most meaningful, sensitive data in highly regulated industries. To do this, we build devops tools that streamline information security compliance for web and mobile applications. We currently focus primarily in healthcare, on HIPAA compliance.

We are backed by the best investors in tech, including Y Combinator (S14), Rock Health, Maverick and Lux Capital.

YOU ARE A GOOD FIT IF:

- You have extensive experience using modern Javascript libraries like Ember, Angular, Backbone, and React

- You have experience writing back-end code using Ruby on Rails

- You are design-minded, have excellent taste, and are detail-oriented
- You have a proven history of designing and building world-class user interfaces

- You communicate well and work effectively with others

- You are comfortable with high degrees of freedom and responsibility

WHY WORK WITH US?

- Engineering First: Aptible is a tech company from the ground up. It’s founded by engineers, consists mostly of engineers, and our users are all engineers. Your coworkers will be some of the best in the world at what they do.

- Independence & Trust: Over time, you will be expected to function independently with minimal process overhead for significant portions of your work. This reinforces a high degree of mutual trust within our team.

- Our Business Model: We make money by charging our customers a monthly fee for software and services. This allows us to make decisions for the long term. We aren’t the type of startup where we give away everything for free in hopes that once we collect 100 PB of data we can build an AI to replace your doctor or sell pharma ads.

- Our Customers: We help the best companies in digital health solve their hardest engineering and regulatory problems. We involve them in our product development process and have a weekly support rotation in which the whole team participates. It’s a great way to learn firsthand the strongest and weakest points in the product.

- Introspection: Most of us have worked at a half-dozen companies or more. We’ve lived through best and worst practices in how to run teams. We value regular reflection on process (i.e., retrospectives) with constant small course corrections instead of bulk overhauls when things get really bad. We strive to make expectations clear and give regular, actionable feedback.

- OSS: We believe in active participation in the open-source community on which we’re built. The majority of our GitHub repos are public. You will have the opportunity to create, maintain, and contribute to some of the most interesting projects in open-source.

- Flexibility: We are based in Brooklyn but our team is distributed across the country. As a senior engineer, you’ll have the freedom to work on your own schedule, from wherever you like. You’re always more than welcome at headquarters, and we will fly you in periodically for all-hands weeks.

- Upside: As an early employee, you’ll receive both competitive salary and meaningful equity in a company that’s growing fast. We think startups should give employees more stock, be more transparent about what percentage of the company that stock represents, and discuss what happens to that stock in various outcomes.

OTHER BENEFITS

- Full medical, dental and vision coverage — 100% of premiums for employees, 80% for dependent medical premiums, and 100%
for dependent dental and vision premiums.

- Mandatory minimum vacation each year. Too often at startups, “unlimited vacation” means “no vacation.” We will force you to take time off. Our CEO will suspend your email and GitHub access if you don’t do it.

- Relocation assistance, if you want to move to NYC.

- Whatever computing setup you want.
