| Project Description:
We are a very early stage startup and very small team. It is currently just myself, my co-founder, and one developer who has helped us get to Stage 1 of our project. As mentioned, we are looking for a backend Scala developer to take over from the current developer and another developer to do the work on the front-end (React SPA). This is not a typical consulting project with a team building a product or service. We are doing Lean Startup and will be running rapid experiments. The developers role will be to help us build as quickly and simply as possible something to test a hypothesis about our business, and to repeat this every fortnight. As we are not yet funded, we cana€?t pay top rates but we can give you an opportunity to learn and get some experience with distributed systems architecture, DDD, CQRS, Google Cloud, and of course Scala and functional programming. We will also be a€?junior developera€?, to do any simple and repetitive tasks for your Our goal is to use the collected data to get venture funding in the first half of next year. That round of funding would be to develop further functionality, further test the business model, and then get more significant amount of funding to scale the business. Right now we have some core functionality and a platform for running the experiments. The stack and architecture are interesting and powerful - we are using Scala / functional programming with a CQRS architectural pattern for a number of different services (applications not really microservices). We have grant from Google for use of Google Cloud and are employing continuous integration and deployment. The developer would lead backend development and I would work with both developers as much as I can (mostly as PO, as I am too busy to do major development). Again, the goal of each iteration is just to implement some relatively simple functionality, and then to collect data to validate (or not) a business hypothesis. The work is for Acavista, which is a startup is in the higher education space. The Web site gives an explanation but I can explain more if you are interested during a Skype chat. You may also like to check out our a€?corporatea€? site: http://www.hedventures.com that has a jobs page (but not for this one yet). We think this startup has huge global potential and, for the right person, ita€?s a chance to be involved from the start. We do have some other developers who may be interested so I cana€?t guarantee anything but it would be great to chat with you if you are interested. I also suggest we connect on LinkedIn. Please advise if this sounds like something you would be interested in. |
