This is the premise of the science fiction book, Foundations. The human race is statistically expected to fall into a galaxy-wide "collapse" and a group tries to write a manual/encyclopedia of know how to be placed on every planet.
I've setup a bunch of Google Alerts within the past few weeks, and most of them have not been triggering when relevant (and very public) content is published.
Torig is shaking up an old industry with a mobile-first scheduling and routing web app for a specific trade.
We are an early-stage company and working with us will be an opportunity for professional and personal growth. We have built a team, are financed, and are ready to hire an experienced technical lead.
Your expertise and great technical skills will turn specifications and ideas into action on Web and Mobile Platforms. You will need to own and guide the development process to a successful launch. We keep tight feedback loops to ensure efficient development.
We are a results driven team using Agile/SCRUM methodologies to build successful products. We offer the freedom to work remotely and make your own hours. If you are part time, you are welcome to have another job simultaneously, but you will end up leaving that job for us!
Your competitive salary will be augmented with available stock options.
We like people who really like:
• Ruby on Rails
• JavaScript, Angular.js or similar frameworks, and Node.js
• HTML 5 and CSS 3
• Writing and interfacing with APIs
• Clear and effective communication
• Working hard to build great things
If you are not a life long learner and do not like being creative, this is not the job for you! We value our company culture as much as your skills.
About Torig
Torig is highly experienced in its target market and its team has a proven track record of success.
Our product has been thoroughly researched and planned. We follow the Lean Startup methodology. We are a bit obsessed with user experience and want to build the best products possible. Our team is dedicated, accomplished, and fun.
Our product is currently in development with an excellent team and we are building a flourishing and lucrative business.
It was not a good first encounter with Ruby or Rails, but a decent class once you have some background experience.
The class moves too fast, and he needs to practice his presentation skills (he types something out in a video, and switches screens immediately). Also, the material was not entirely up to date with the gems.
That being said, I really enjoyed the class and would take more in a similar fashion.
We are currently building a mobile-first scheduling, and routing platform for a specific industry. We are hiring a technical lead who has experience building innovative products, can build scalable applications, and can orchestrate a remote team of developers.
We are looking for a developer with solid technical skills who can continue to turn specifications and ideas into action on Web and Mobile Platforms. We believe in tight feedback loops between business, product, design, and engineering to maximize iteration and avoid wasting time building the wrong thing. During this time, the CTO needs to own the development process and guide it to successful completion of the first version of our product.
Our team is highly experienced in our target market, and has a proven track record of success. You will have the freedom to work your own hours, but must be willing to dedicate a minimum of 20 hours per week. You also have the freedom to work remotely.
Compensation is negotiable. Our product is currently in development. Our team is excellent and we are ready to build a flourishing business.
