Original posting

Frontend Developer (React) | AlphaSheets | up to $150k (depends on level of hire and equity tradeoff) + equity | Contractors welcome; remote or onsite | Bay Area What we're building: Collaborative, programmable spreadsheets. Think Google Sheets, but like this: http://www.alphasheets.com/videos/headliner.gif You can check more examples out at alphasheets.com. AlphaSheets marries the capabilities of spreadsheets (simple WYSIWYG calculation interface) with the full power of programming. We've gotten excitement from wall street quants, marketing analysts, pharmaceutical scientists, insurance analysts. Our broader audience is the burgeoning population of people who can write small bits of code but aren't full-on software engineers. We envision a future where tens of millions of people with these skills see AlphaSheets as their tool of choice for data analysis. Short video demo: http://d.pr/i/jK28.gif Experience is a plus, but not a must as long as you're smart. We have a React+ES6+Flow / Haskell stack. We love seeking leverage through good architecture, languages (Haskell!), frameworks, and tools. (Doesn't matter at all for this position if you don't know Haskell.) We're well funded (big seed round) and have 4 years' runway so we're not going away overnight. Our culture is one of efficient, open communication and rational decision making. You'll be joining a founding team of 4 guys out of MIT. Email our CTO (Anand Srinivasan) at anand (at) alphasheets (dot) com
