Overview
Personal finance web startup seeking a Technical Co-Founder to lead development efforts, help grow the company, and take the company’s offerings to the next level.
I am looking to quickly develop additional offerings and grow the company organically using a solid business model. I need someone with a similar focus and long term perspective toward value creation whose technical skills complement my own.
Most of the work would be done remotely, with regular meetings scheduled to discuss requirements, progress, obstacles, product development, and strategy.
If you currently have a full time job or go to school full time, but are willing to put in the required effort after hours, that would be perfectly acceptable.
I would prefer to hire someone that lives in, or around, Washington, DC. However, talented applicants from other locations within the United States will also receive consideration. Please do not apply if you do not reside in the United States.
