Palo Alto or REMOTE in PST timezone wikiHow Software Engineer wikiHow is the world's how to manual. Think "Wikipedia for hot-to instructions". Over 30 million users a month. Here is why working at wikiHow is unlike anything else in Silicon Valley: * We are profitable and offer a profit sharing plan. * We are self-funded. We have not accepted VC or angel money. We don't chart our strategy based on the whims of investors. * We don't think working crazy startup hours is productive or healthy. We have rich lives outside of work. * Our team is gender balanced. 50% female, 50% male. * We like walking. We have a few treadmill desks and we all have FitBits. * Our small, cohesive team loves to innovate. * We take wikiHow's educational mission seriously. We put our mission above short term business goals. * We all work from home one day a week. * We work in a homey downtown Palo Alto office, 2 blocks from Caltrain and University Avenue. * wikiHow is one of the top 200 sites on the web. Over 30 million readers a month. Your mom will use and love your product. * We're delightfully quirky. But you probably figured that out already. Email me, the founder directly, Jack@wikiHow.com
