Overview
Making movies sucks - help us make it better. Sr./Lead/Principal Software Engineer needed.
HighlightCam is revolutionizing how users create (and share) movies. With our apps, users can create professional-quality videos – automatically. Server-based editors scan for the best content in the pictures and video, add special effects, and then send the finished movie for the user to share with their friends. Cool, huh?
We’re looking for an eager Sr./Lead/Principal Software Engineer to join our growing team, someone who knows how to scale Python, Django, MySQL on Linode & AWS. We’re fully funded, a YC alum, and growing in both domestic and international markets. We need someone driven who wants to join and lead a small team and really own their work.
