How we work

Simperium is a small startup with a distributed team of experienced developers. Typically, we work remotely by using a variety of mobile and web apps to stay connected. Working this way fuels our vision. It also demands high levels of independence, intrinsic motivation, and trust.

It's a liberating environment. We work from anywhere, hours are flexible, yet we push aggressively. Backed by great seed investors, including Y Combinator, we're headquartered in San Francisco, where we meet regularly to resynchronize in person.

Who we need

We're on the lookout for multitalented developers who:

  • shine
  • take risks
  • learn continuously
  • write code enthusiastically
  • build things because they love to
  • have already built meaningful things
  • want responsibility for important systems
  • seek great design of bits, pixels, and experience
  • care deeply about improving how people live and work
  • enjoy a variety of programming languages and technologies
  • bring experience with technologies that we might not be using yet

Our tech radar

Python, iOS (Objective-C), Android (Java), JavaScript, HTML5/CSS3, App Engine, Riak, Redis, Tornado, Node.js, AWS, Chef, Capistrano, nginx.
