    Job Description:

    FlashFunders is a Santa Monica-based online equity funding platform and we’re hiring experienced full-stack Ruby on Rails engineers to join our small, energetic and cohesive team, to help us re-envision how startups raise capital. You'll hit the ground running, become an integral member of the team, and start contributing towards our goal of becoming the industry standard in online capital raising.

    Some of the things you'll be working on include:

    • Simplifying the investment experience
    • Integrating with state-of-the-art banking APIs using modern tools
    • Crafting an intelligent, intuitive user experience

    Not to brag but here are a few of the reasons why we think you’ll enjoy working here:

    Competitive Salary + Equity + Benefits + Relocation

    In addition to a competitive salary and equity, we provide full medical and dental benefits. Health always comes first, with coding a close second. Oh, and if you’re from out of town, just remember a bathing suit and sunscreen, we’ll take care of everything else.

    Paid-vacation, sick leave & personal days

    Maybe you’re headed to Burning Man for the week or have a mild case of the sniffles, either way we’ve got you covered, no excuses necessary!

    We are VC-backed and very well funded

    At FlashFunders we’d like to think we’ve got your back, well these guys have ours; we are financially and legally backed by Europlay Capital Advisors (ECA), founded by Mark Dyne (first investor in Skype) and Stubbs Alderton & Markiles, LLP (SAM), a leading securities law firm.

    Additional perks for the new gal/guy

    • New Macbook Air ✓
    • 27” Apple Monitors, fit for royalty ✓
    • Snacks and drinks up the wazoo ✓
    • Friday beverages every Friday at 5:00 (Fridays at Five) ✓

    Join our small team, make a BIG Impact

    We are a team of less than ten, which means we’re tight knit and your contributions will immediately impact our success, the sky is the limit!

    Now, tell us a little about yourself, we’d like to see candidates with the following experience:

    • Full-stack developer
    • 4+ years development experience
    • 2+ years working with Ruby on Rails
    • Experience with the rest of our stack: Ruby, Javascript, Postgres, HTML/CSS, Heroku
    • Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science preferred
    • Experience working in an agile environment

    If you think you have what it takes, drop us a line - we’d love to discuss the possibility of you working at FlashFunders!
