You're a Genius. Work for us.
Loudwater Labs is a funded startup with a big idea: we're changing how people in their twenties and thirties deal with their money.
We believe that handling your finances doesn't have to be dull, stressful or expensive. We hate the fact that get taken advantage of by Opportunistic Personal Finance intimidate our friends, famliy, and peers (all 40M of them) companies when it matters most-- when we're young and not yet wealthy or secure. In order to help people answer the question "What do I do with my money?", we're building a web application that shows you what's most important to pay attention to and what you can do about it.
As we bring our vision to reality, we encounter interesting and complicated problems to solve. We know that people in their twenties and thirties are aching for something that makes money simpler and we're bringing together incredibly talented and diverse people to bring their intelligence to bear. If we do it right, your work will have enormous impact and we'll disrupt an industry that operates through complexity, confusion, and fear.
Things you would care about if you worked here:
- We're an east coast startup with a west coast mentality.
- We have our own office in SoHo.
- All of our investors are former or current startup entrepreneurs. Several are engineers themselves. Between them there are $2Bn in exits in the last 10 yrs.
- Our development methodology is pragmatic yet agile using test-driven development and continuous integration.
- While we use Open Source technologies, we have no aversion to getting you the best tools money can buy.
- We are a band of mad scientists and business ninjas, we come from places like IAC, Netflix, Citigroup, Six Degrees, and Shopwiki
- We work really hard and we like to have fun.
Our idea is collecting steam. The early beta works, we're funded, and growing our team of engineers, designers, scientists, and financial experts. We're looking for rock star developers to take a hands on role with our engineering team. You will directly contribute to what we build and how we build it. More importantly, by coming on board early (#9), you get a seat at the table and a voice each aspect of our growth, from the way we build the product to the way we market it.
We offer a salary, generous equity, Fortune 500 health benefits, and a 401k. If we really like you, a reasonable relocation package awaits, along with an unreasonable amount of fresh fruit, tasty treats, and coffee. If learning more intrigues you and you think you have something to contribute, send over your resume to people@loudwaterlabs.com. To start with, just tell us why you're excited about what we're doing and why we should be excited about having you join our ranks, and we'll go from there.
