Python developers

stickybits is hiring!  After an awesomely successful launch at South by Southwest in March, we’re now working on building out our next version.  And it’s pretty ambitious, so we need some serious talent to pull it off.

What is stickybits?
stickybits.com allows people to attach digital content to barcodes.  When those barcodes are scanned (via our iPhone or Android apps), you’ll see all the content that has been attached.  What makes us unique is that all this is done in a social and fully open read/write way.

What does that exactly mean?
Imagine putting a barcode on your business card that when scanned showed your resume.  Or put a stickybits sticker into a birthday card and record a personal video.  Then when your friend scans it, they’ll see the video.  Take that one step further and have all your friends attach videos to the same card.  You’ll also get notified when it gets scanned.

You can see a great video walk through done by App Judgement here http://revision3.com/appjudgment/ip_mau_stickybits
We also recently presented at the New York Tech Meetup http://bit.ly/c9PtjW

What are we looking for?
We’re looking for a Senior Python Engineer who has tons of experience building out and architecting backend systems and APIs.

• First and foremost, being a rockstar python developer who loves to solve tough problems in scaling and backend design.

We’re located in New York City and this job would be fulltime, working out of our office in Union Square.  Join us and be part of the emerging startup tech of NYC!
