Full Stack Developer Wanted for Early Stage Startup
« on: June 26, 2020, 08:11:38 PM »


Mobius Materials is looking for a full stack software co-founder who is excited to join us in the goal of reducing landfill e-waste via technology (Go Planet Earth!). We’re currently working in a startup accelerator towards our MVP.

Our Team

We’re a technical team with mechanical, computer vision and web app chops but we are looking for an experienced technical leader to bring it all together.
•   CEO - Ex-McKinsey, and startup exec that grew team from 1 to 25 at her last company, Hacky engineer that can get stuff done (but it’s never pretty)
•   Founding Engineer - Certified genius at computer vision with a passion for legos and the ability to work at light speed
•   Intern army - 3 amazing interns from Duke that are helping us build other pieces of our app

You

If the following sounds like you, let’s talk:
•   Visionary - You’re ready to lay the foundation for scalability and set up our product and processes for the long term.
•   Curious - You’re the kind of person who disassembled stuff when you were a little kid just to see how it worked (bonus points if you got it to go back together again).
•   Scrappy - You’re excited to quickly iterate and prototype. You might be a little too obsessed with “life hacks”.
•   Doer - You can roll up your sleeves and get stuff done. You’re flexible and know that in a startup, you’ll have to “wear many hats”.
•   Tree-hugger - You believe that humans can solve our trash problem, it’s just a matter of some better tech.

Preferred Requirements
•   Be willing to make this a major part of your life for > 4 years
•   3+ years of experience in web app development
•   BS/BA/MS in Computer Science or similar
•   React, Nodejs, Python, OpenCV

Perks
•   Huge equity share.
•   An awesome founding team.
•   The chance to change the world and get incredibly rich doing so.

If interested, please send your resume to info@mobiusmaterials.com.

Define "huge" in terms of equity.

I've started 4 businesses, at least one of which was massively successful. As a successful business man/extremely talented software engineer, would you be willing to give up 45% of your company? What about 1/3rd?

Keep in mind that someone like me is what really matters in this endeavor. Your idea isn't worth anything. Read that again - your idea is not worth anything. only the execution matters. Without a product that works, you have nothing at all.

Anyway, I'm just curious what "huge" means to you.

Edit: What salary are you offering? Or do you expect someone to work for free?

Wait you want a dev for an early stage startup where 3/4 current engineers are interns? And want them to commit for a "major part of your life" for 4+ years?

This is comical.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
