Likeable Local - Portland, Maine - Social Media Tools for Small Businesses
http://www.likeablelocal.com/ http://www.likeablelocal.com/
We at Likeable Local are looking to grow our team and seeking two talented
and motivated software engineers. One immediate role would be perfect for
someone who is great with numbers and analytics. The other role is better suited
towards someone who loves working in the front-end and loves making things
look and interact beautifully- with html, javascript, and css. In both cases the
engineers should love building cool things, learning, and social media. We are
in Portland, Maine which is atypical for Hacker News, but is a great place to live!
We aren't looking for remote workers at this time.
We are a tech-startup-spinoff of the award-winning (NYC-based) agency Likeable
Media, and we are looking for people that are willing to jump right in and be on
our small team (currently 3 other full-time developers) creating features that will
be visible and impactful and used immediately.
We are hard-working and smart, and we love to solve challenging problems.
We use a lot of node.js, javascript, python, django, and the Oxford comma.
You love being a substantial contributor and are interested in the “full stack” of
technologies from details of server configuration, back-end, front-end, and mobile
platforms. You are self-disciplined, self-directed, but also detail-oriented in your
communication about what choices you make and what you are doing.
Likeable Local offers an integrated software solution that allows small businesses
to create, enhance and manage their social media presence. Likeable Local was
founded in 2012 and has a deployed product that integrates with Facebook and
Twitter. The software is sold on a subscription basis, allowing for attractive recurring
revenue economics, and is in use by dentists, dry cleaners, florists, and jewelers
and we continue to expand.
Interested? Email me at hugh@likeable.com and lets connect!
- ddod 13y agoJust to provide a second point of reference, I'm a relatively recent dev hire at Likeable Local and it's been a really good choice for me. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has, as well, so feel free to reach out to me.
- OhHeyItsE 13y agoI've always thought Portland, ME was an incredible city. Just curious - what made you choose there (especially coming from NYC)? What is the tech scene like?
- hyoogle 13y agoHey! We love it here. I chose it for family reasons initially but am happily settled in. We've found a fun talented and creative community at http://www.thinktankportland.com/ http://www.thinktankportland.com/ . There are pros and cons for sure. It's easy to get to NYC (just about an hour flight and the local airport is a breeze to use). But not as easy to get to SF (sadly no direct flights). We've got affordable housing, some good school systems, access to nature and the ocean and the beautiful maine coast, islands, amazing summers, lots of great people, and hardly any traffic at all. Access to talent may not be as plentiful here as elsewhere but in a smaller world it is also easier to be found by prospective hires. If anyone out there is searching for software development jobs here in Portland, Maine they should be able to find us- although we've got lots of work to do there... But anyway, if you're interested in learning more about this area let me know what else I can tell you!
