Are you a passionate web developer who wears skinny jeans, checks Foursquare before heading out, and builds sleek, sylish apps? We are looking for you!
We are Second Funnel - a small, growing startup making the web more visually interesting and relevant. We believe advertising currently sucks, but can be made awesome. Or at least less terrible. How? Through visuals that peek curiousity and lead to interesting, engaging content (think Pinterest meets marketing).
Our visual marketing platform is used by top brands (Gap, Samsung) and retailers (NewEgg) to engage their audience and find new customers.
Our team is distributed across North America, from Silicon Valley to Waterloo, Ontario.
- You are a cool cat. You own your style, and you have fun doing it.
- You think like your user. You empathize with their needs, wants, and desires. If they are young, you give them animated gifs. If they are flamboyant, you give them color. If they have ADHD, you give them sub-second load times. You want to know what makes them tick, and how to make them to click... for science.
- You are passionate and curious. We might find you answering questions on Stack Overflow, currating a Pinterest board, or discussing the merits of ES6 modules.
- You love challenges and are tenacious. You get excited about working on new and different projects. When life gives you lemons, you make life rue the day it thought it could give you lemons!
You will be buiding a digital marketing engine that uses great visual content to turn browsers into shoppers. We combine marketing technologies to create a kick-ass web experience that makes online shopping fun and entertaining.
Under the hood, we use recommendation engines to guess a customer's intentions, generate dynamic advertisments which optimize the placement of rich content, and contriute to open-source tools (we are trying to make the world a better place, of course). We're built primarly on JavaScript, Python, and Django, powered by technologies like AWS, Ansible, and XXX PUT ONE MORE IN HERE THAT ISN'T LINUX EVERYONE USES LINUX XXX!
- See the immediate impact. We're a small team. We push code daily which goes live immidiately. Your work is visible to the world - everyone you know will be able to see it.
- Ownership of your work. You will be working on projects that directly affect the success of the company, and more importantly, you will have a lot of say in how projects get done.
- You pick your hours. We want you to set the hours that work best for you. We accommodate all hours, as long as it overlaps with 10:30am to 3:30pm (ET).
- Flexible location. We operate as a virtual team, with team members located throughout North America. It's fun to work out of the Kitchener office, but you can be anywhere as long as you're logged in to Slack.
- Workations! A few times a year we bring the team together someplace awesome to work and play. Recent locations include Ontario cottage-country, Lake Tahoe, CA and Santa Cruz, CA.
- Competitive compensation and great benefits. We offer competitive salaries, great equity compensation, and great benefits (we went a little crazy with the massage therapy...)
