Some examples of what our front-end engineers have worked on:
- Creating a WebSockets-compliant mobile application framework for the iPhone that allows real-time events to be pushed from the server
- Building a dynamic map-rendering engine with adjacency detection for conquering territory
- Designing and executing experiments based on product metrics data and user feedback
Requirements:

- Knowledge of objective-c, java, python, actionscript, and javascript, or the ability to learn them quickly
- Strong empathy for users
- Curiosity and passion for crafting amazing experiences
- B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Computer Science or equivalent
We are a startup and as a developer you will have the ability to influence the design and development of nearly everything that we build. You will have to be very comfortable with ownership and management of your projects. As such, you will have the potential to develop into an engineering leadership and management role over time as we grow.
