Original posting
Nimia (https://app.nimia.com) -- Seattle, WA (REMOTE possible, VISA possible)
== About Us ==
Nimia is a place where independent filmmakers and agencies can license, share, and archive their 4k video. See our quick video intro: https://app.nimia.com/video/35785/demo
== Company Culture ==
We are small. We want you to help us decide what to build, what to improve on, and even how to market ourselves. We are in constant communication with our users. Sales, marketing, legal, and engineering meet up frequently to collaborate.
We use SCRUM to keep everyone on the same page and to constantly reevaluate how we're spending our time. HACK DAY is every other week on Friday, sometimes taking over the next sprint when something awesome comes up. Schedule is flexible, but we are always in touch. We deploy almost daily.
On evenings and weekends we often do (completely optional) creative side projects, such as helping with this film shoot: https://app.nimia.com/video/139992/base-aerial-footage-sneak...
