Description
Working for a early‐stage startup can be a bit of a culture shock.
Accountability and constantly moving goal posts is not for everyone. However, entrepreneurial‐minded people want to join a startup for one reason ‐ they want to create a bigger impact. Forbes.com recently published an article about working at a startup and listed having a real sense of ownership and enhanced early responsibility as two major benefits to working for a startup.
In this specific role, as the software team grows, we will help you grow into our Vice‐President of Software Engineering.
