Kamcord is looking for an awesome lead frontend engineer to help us build the future of mobile game discovery! We make an SDK for iOS and Android game developers that lets their players record and share videos of their mobile gameplays. We're seeing incredibly strong growth across all key metrics and are growing the team aggressively to capture the opportunity. We're live in over 240 games and have recorded over 2.5 billion videos with 3 million of them having being shared.

Those millions of videos need a home to live, and a big push for the company this year is to transform kamcord.com into an incredibly engaging and fun media experience. You will lead this charge! We've just brought on a ridiculously good designer and you will work closely with him and the founders to design and build the next version of kamcord.com, from the ground up.

You:

    - Are really really good with HTML/CSS/Javascript
    - Understand responsive web design and how to build websites for both web and mobile
    - Feel completely comfortable diving into the backend. Server infrastructure and database schemas don't scare you
    - Are an complete animal when it comes to writing software
    - Are self motivated and take ownership of projects

We're a small and very engineering-focused company. We've kept our hiring bar very high and will continue to do so forever. Our team consists of MIT / Stanford / Berkeley / CMU / Google / Amazon alums and Math PhDs [0]. If you join us, you will be working with the best. We're also fortunate to be backed by some of the best investors in Silicon Valley including Andreessen Horowitz, Google Ventures, and Tencent.

Perks:

    - Located in downtown SF just a few minutes from BART.
    - Full health, vision, and dental insurance
    - Free lunch and dinners with tons of snacks in the office
