Now Hiring Stanford / IIT team Looking for: a HACKER with a ♥

grabHalo inc
Anywhere

Guys and gals!!

The person we’re looking for is not average or normal by any stretch of the imagination. This person is unique, obsessive, inquisitive, bright, passionate, humble and above all a true humanitarian. Why is this important?

 

Let us ask you: 

What do you think about Meles Zenawi being laid down to rest in Addis Ababa?

Do you know that’s in Ethiopia?

Do you suddenly feel like reaching out and getting to know people there?

What about India’s win against Cameroon for the Nehru Cup? Do you wish you could have gone to see the match at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium as India proudly won for the third consecutive time? Do you want to connect people who are at sporting/music events you wish you could have gone to?

 

What if you could reach people anywhere in the world right now and be able to strike up conversations with them?

Look no further, because we have solved this!

Dear India’s best and brightest, grabHalo is developing a new mobile app that will enable anyone to contact people near and far so that they can meet, interact, get help and start conversations with real people anywhere in the world.

We have an Android version:

On the surface our App may look simple and fun, but the best technologies make difficult things look easy. There is a ton of technical innovation we have going on under the ‘hood of our app. Bare in mind, building this product will require a lot of courage and hard work on your part. But we promise the journey will be an experience of a lifetime. The same go-getter quality that distinguishes people who change the world from those who merely get by in life is the quality that we’re looking for.

We invite hardcore developers who love tinkering with the latest technologies (e.g. we’re using node.js and ) and getting their hands dirty to apply and join us at grabHalo!

Vital stats:

  • Core team is composed of Stanford Grad and Local Programming Boy Wonder from IIT
  • Founder knows what a successful startup is like. He was product manager at Trippert Labs before which was acquired by Playdom and then Disney in the US. He plans to exceed his previous experience this time around
  • Founder has experience launching apps that were ranked as high as #2 on the iTunes store
  • We have launched the Android alpha. Plan is to also launch for iPhone and other platforms in the next three months. The rest will be shared with you when we meet
  • Company culture is above all, really fun
  • All employees are treated with respect and have a blast
  • Has support from heavyweights of Silicon Valley

 

Looking for:

One outstanding developer to join. The apps we are developing heavily utilize smart querying on the backend. We will also have you work on the client-side as well. Most importantly, we want developers that are all-rounders and can pick up any language within a very short amount of time.

   
Qualifications that make you sexy:  

  •  Incredibly bright (IIT or equivalent level of logical reasoning/mathematical intelligence). Note: you don't have to have gone to IIT at all. Just know your smarts will be tested
  •  Have experience with mobile app development and familiarity with MVC model 
  • Experience programming on the front and backend 
  •  Languages that would be useful to know: Obj-C, Python, Java, Node.js, PHP, Javascript, JQuery, and experience with Postgres/mongoDB/(MySQL is acceptable)
  •  Minimum two years of programming experience either professionally or as a personal passion
  • Have projects you can show us

Our compensation will be generous. It will be a combination of salary and stock options. We want you to love the product you’re building and share in the rewards of its success!
