Confidently Humble Javascript Front-end Developer
Confidently Humble?We love working with people that are confident in their abilities (because they're really good at what they do).But the truly confident people can afford to be humble. They ask others their opinion and really listen to the answer. They know they might be wrong and admit it when they actually are. Heck, they're just plain pleasant to be around.  In short, they're "confidently humble". Do you like working with people like that too? Are you one of those people?  Read on...Important:This is a remote position with a fully remote company, meaning you can be located anywhere.About Us:We’re a profitable, bootstrapped, growing company. We create beautiful, effective personal finance software that’s changing how people think about their money.  Our software is named “You Need a Budget”, but everyone just calls it “YNAB”.  For years now, lots of people have been buying YNAB and then telling their friends how awesome it is.  (Google us and you’ll see.)  We’ve got desktop, iPhone, and Android apps, and we’re currently working on an iPad App.Now we want a Web AppOur desktop software is great, but our customers would love to access YNAB on the web too. We’re already hard at work on our Rails-based API that will take care of the difficult stuff like syncing data between our various clients. So, much of the back end is covered. Now we want to write a Javascript app that does everything client-side, and only uses the API to send the data back and forth. That architecture would have a lot of benefits, like allowing us to wrap it and deploy it on the desktop, or letting folks use the app even when they’re offline.And that’s where you come in!You’ve got significant experience architecting and building large, Javascript-centric web apps, and you’d like to work with us on a full time (40 hours/week) basis.

It’d be your call.This app is going to be our bread and butter. You will be helping us lay the foundation for our web and desktop efforts for years to come.  After reading that, you’re hopefully thinking, “Wow! Cool!” And then, if you’re really experienced, you’re probably thinking, “Oh, wow...that sounds like a lot of responsibility!” And you’d be right.
