NJ-based iOS / Web Developer
Location: US, NJ, MONTCLAIR
Department: Development
Description: I am looking for exceptional iOS and Web developers to join #URL_bc6515e0ef9866a963e607eb31db22fcfee4d39de085dd26de2d14be56d54b29#. Our solution is at intersection of Mobile, SaaS, B2B and Enterprise... Highly desirable space. Must LIVE in and want to WORK in Northern NJ. We are very early stage. Sky's the limit.-------------------------------------(Please include a cover email/note along with your resume, indicating why this opportunity appeals to you, and why you feel you might be a good fit for #URL_bc6515e0ef9866a963e607eb31db22fcfee4d39de085dd26de2d14be56d54b29#)I need 1-2 innovative, talented, experienced, collaborative, communicative, fun, and knowledgeable <b>iOS and/or Web developers</b> who genuinely want to join a true startup... a very early stage startup with sky-high potential in the most desirable and lucrative space in tech right now: Mobile, SaaS, B2B, Enterprise.You must live in and want to work in the great state of New Jersey... specifically Northern Jersey. The office will be located near Montclair, NJ. I'm looking to build a very small, very talented, very productive and very FUN team that works together in the same physical location most, if not all, of the week... creating something highly disruptive, very useful and extremely lucrative for all of us.Ideally you understand and have experience with iOS <b>AND</b> web development, and have good knowledge and experience with back-end, front-end, devops, and the full-stack. However, if you are simply a genius iOS developer with no back-end experience, I'd still like to hear from you. I will probably need 2 developers covering the full-stack competencies. You must be very collaborative in order to make this work. I'm sure you are.What stage is the company at right now? Great question. I have spent months conducting customer development calls with potential users/customers. I have validated the pain in the market and my proposed solution has been received with unusual enthusiasm on these customer development calls. After validating the value proposition, I then hired the best UI/Ux designers I've ever met, and we are now conducting a deep planning and discovery phase which will result in a complete FRD - with detailed workflows and wireframes and mockups and look/feel - by the end of September. At that point, I will ideally bring the project in-house with you (and perhaps one other developer) to begin coding the MVP - which will take at least 3 months. We will then do a soft-launch to a couple hundred invite-only beta users who are hand-selected (invitation-only) and we'll incorporate their feedback for a month or two, and when we feel the product is ready for mass consumption, we will launch a major PR, viral and facilitated word-of-mouth campaign to roll out the product.At that point, once we have 100+ paying customers, we will likely raise some angel and/or VC capital to scale quickly. Why wait? Many reasons, including... I have great seed funding now and a good budget set aside to get us to MVP/launch. I know what I want to build, how I want to build it, how I want to roll it out, and I want to stay lean and smart in building my team and developing the product to MVP. The company will be more valuable, and your equity will be more valuable, if we build the MVP and get initial market traction first, and then raise capital - if needed.This is a business that sets out to monetize immediately after launching. There is a short free trial, followed by a monthly or annual subscription. This product will have real value in the enterprise market, and that value will warrant a paid subscription from the getgo.I'm providing all this information so you have a better sense of my vision for the company now as you consider whether to apply for the open developer positions. There is NO more exciting company and product and vision right now. I just need 2 more all-stars and hopefully you are one of them.Note... this is my second company. My first was a web-based healthcare software company which I co-founded back in 2005 and built up for the past 8 years and which is going strong right now. I left earlier this year to start #URL_bc6515e0ef9866a963e607eb31db22fcfee4d39de085dd26de2d14be56d54b29#. In my first company, we made every mistake in the book, but we learned from them, and made the company successful. With #URL_bc6515e0ef9866a963e607eb31db22fcfee4d39de085dd26de2d14be56d54b29#, I'm excited to apply all that I learned from my first venture with an even better product idea and business vision. There is no substitute for experience. Or vision. Or planning. Or talent. Or teamwork.I hope to hear from you. This will be the greatest adventure of your life!
