We want to change the world. We’re a team of fast-executing social entrepreneurs on a mission to build the future of social change. You want to change the world? This is your chance!
We’re not looking for someone to do busy work or implement another Rails app. We are searching for an outstanding back end developer to build our business with! We want someone who sees iFLIP4 in its Beta stages, and who can envision a future where it is the place to go for EVERYONE who cares. We want someone who wants to create the future, not someone who will settle for an unfulfilling position at a giant corporation.
We don’t want a code monkey; we don’t want someone to say yes and implement every feature we ask for. What we want is a partner. Someone to bounce ideas off of, someone with a vision for the future of our company, and someone who has the desire and drive to make it a reality.
Importantly, the most driven, high performing interns will be given the opportunity to take on full time roles after we raise our Angel round of funding.
