Compensation, location, perks:
It’s worth noting that we can’t compete with top Silicon Valley salaries -- at least not yet! Around $80K/year for 30-40 hours a week. Maybe a bit more or less depending on how much equity you want to take on.
We are a small business that’s generating enough money for the company to exist and grow indefinitely. Each of our salaries will grow as we continue to increase revenue (which we are on track to double every year).
We are located in San Francisco & Mountain View and some of our employees have contributed significant work to the platform remotely -- from ski cabins in Tahoe to Brooklyn apartments. You'll have the freedom to set your own hours and work wherever pleases you, although we will meet up occasionally in the bay area.
In terms of engineering problems, we are in a fascinating space -- the domain has interesting problems to solve. We frequently visit beautiful wineries to understand their challenges and then help deliver tangible solutions for their operations. We are a team of friends who thoroughly enjoy what we do.
Compensation
- $80K – $80K
- 1.0% – 2.0%
