Senior Full-Stack Developer and Technology Leader

LifePosts is looking for a full-stack developer with particular fluency in Python / Django (3+ years experience) to be our lead technologist. Our stack is Django / Python, Postgresql and Celery, running on Heroku. An ideal candidate will have proficiency both with the back end code as well as HTML / JS / CSS.

LifePosts is a fast-moving early-stage startup, so you should be comfortable working independently, and interacting directly with business stakeholders and project managers. Sense of humor and unflusterable temperament would be a big plus.

LifePosts is a platform enabling people to celebrate and remember the most important people and moments in their lives, via online memorials and other commemorations.

The job may be full time or part‑time depending on the skill set of the developer.

The team is led by entrepreneur / journalist Steven Waldman, founder of Beliefnet.com, which won the national magazine award for best website before being acquired by News Corp; and COO Ju-Don Marshall Roberts, who has led the digital operations for the WashingtonPost.com, EverydayHealth.com and Beliefnet.com, and Center for Community.

The company is funded by an elite group of angel investors including Jon Miller, former CEO of News Corp Digital; Lauren Zalaznick, former Executive Vice President of NBCUniversal; Julius Genachowski, former Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission; and American Public Media, the largest owner of public radio stations.

Equity is included in the compensation package, and there are opportunities to grow into a major leadership role.

The company is based in Brooklyn but there is some flexibility on location.
