Frontend engineer at early-stage VC funded startup with revenue
Homejoy (formerly Pathjoy) is looking for its second engineer
Homejoy is a platform for connecting homeowners with high-quality, trustworthy, affordable home service providers - starting with home cleaning. Started by Aaron and Adora - a brother and sister hacker duo - Homejoy rose out of Y Combinator and is now funded by investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Max Levchin, First Round Capital, and Paul Buchheit. Our goal is to bring affordable, safe and convenient services to every home - and out of the category of a luxury service - while treating our contractors exceptionally well. We’ve got a proven business model that’s already expanded to every major metro on the west coast - and now into New York - while maintaining high customer satisfaction. Now we’re looking for a self-motivated individual to take the lead shaping and building our product.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
You’re a hacker who tells your friends you’re so much more than that because you love to understand the details of a business to figure out what needs to be built
You’re fast - you walk the fine line between getting products out the door and building them to perfection
Your peers describe you as a rockstar, but the term embarrasses you. Homejoy has a culture that revolves entirely around our customers and cleaners, not our egos.
You’ve designed and built significant web applications and can show us what you shipped.
You’re extremely proficient in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
You are comfortable taking on backend work when needed, and are familiar with Python.
You’re opinionated and care intensely about the little details that make a great user experience.
You’ve got a Computer Science degree
You get excited about hacking real-world business problems - such as how to simplify the matching process between thousands of jobs and hundreds of cleaners, creating a simple user interface while clarifying customer expectations, and reacting to customer feedback with operational changes real-time
Experience as a founder or in a seed-funded startup environment a plus
Here’s what you get:
To build a simple and intuitive web product and engineering team focused on impressing our customers and cleaners
To hang out with us and our awesome team - including hackers from Stanford and MIT
Serious equity
Competitive pay
Health insurance (Medical, Dental, Vision)
Lunches (and Dinners if you just can’t get enough of us)
New machine and other needed hardware
Personal training sessions
Transit pass
House cleaning
Relocation expenses (as needed)
Our customers are already saying fantastic things about us:
“Sign up and scheduling was easy and intuitive; great email and text reminders”
“[After Homejoy comes] our apartment shine like crazy....my wife actually posted a picture of our sink on Facebook to show how clean it was”
“An awesome service that has drastically improved the quality of life in our house”
