Full Time Generalists and Front End Engineers | Downtown San Francisco (near the Montgomery BART Station)
We have a very agile group of 12 engineers at Academia.edu in Downtown SF. I joined them because I really respect the problems that they are working on. Are you aware of how inefficient, inaccurate, slow and costly, scientific publishing is? In fact, the vast majority of peer-reviewed scientific research that gets published is actually not reproducible. Imagine a world where scientists can share their research more quickly, obtain greater peer-review coverage, and innovate faster. I joined because I wanted to contribute to building this disruptive Open Science platform.
Below you can find some more info about the company and the general mission of Open Science below if you're interested in the subject.
The tech stack here consists of Rails, Coffeescript, Backbone, PostgreSQL, hosted on AWS. I'd like to tell you more about our team so ping me at hiring[at]academia.edu so we can set up a quick call.
More about the company:
According to EdTech Magazine we are tech underdogs who are “key disruptors among open-access publishers.”
We have 18MM users who support our mission and we are growing 10% per month. We are financially backed with $17MM by top VCs including Khosla Ventures, True Ventures and Spark Capital.
