MindSnacks Jobs on Startuply

Software Engineer in San Francisco

Thu, 23 May 2013 04:23:30 GMT

MindSnacks builds touch-based learning games for languages and other subjects. We take a unique, entertainment-focused approach to educational games; basically the opposite of the dull learning games we all know too well. We’re funded by top-tier VCs and angel investors and are based in San Francisco.

If you’re deeply passionate about changing the way people learn and you thrive in a fast-paced, fun and sometimes slightly insane startup environment, this opportunity is for you. You’ll be joining a small, awesome team, so expect to wear a few hats and be treated as a partner, not an employee.

The Position

We are looking for a talented engineer to help us expand to new platforms and increase the sophistication of our back-end technology.

You will be a core part of a small, experienced engineering team. Your input will be vital and your work will have an immediate impact. You’ll work with the latest technologies on products that are in the exciting areas of both mobile applications and gaming. You will have the ability to really own a particular area of the product suite and get in on the ground floor of a fun, rapidly growing, company.

If you think that you’re the right engineer for MindSnacks, please email a resume and any portfolio projects to jobs@mindsnacks.com. We can’t wait to hear from you.

Lead game developer & co-founder at seed-funded startup in San Francisco

Mon, 20 May 2013 18:34:26 GMT

Our startup has just been accepted to DreamIt, an exclusive seed funding / incubator program similar to Y Combinator (which we were a finalist for). DreamIt is providing us and 14 other startups with capital, working space, mentorship and a great opportunity to secure additional funding through a demo day that’s attended by hundreds of investors and entrepreneurs.

We're looking for an amazing generalist developer to join the MindSnacks founding team as a co-founder. MindSnacks is a social gaming company that’s creating products for language learning and other educational areas. Our core mission is to take a unique, entertainment-focused approach to educational games; basically the opposite of the dull learning games we all know too well.

The product we're making is a lot of fun. If you're a technical wizard and you've always wanted to break into game development, this is an excellent chance for you to make a transition. Or if you already have game development experience, this is a chance for you to apply your skills to make a real difference in the world. We aim to shake the very foundation of education.

You’ll be joining two others who have extensive experience in UI design / user experience, marketing and education. We’ll also be hiring one or two other developers.

This is an opportunity for you to be the technical co-founder of an early stage startup company whose product design has already won the favor of some of the most prestigious investors in the country. After helping us to further refine the existing design, you'll lead our development efforts. First priority will be to hire another developer to help us. We'll then work together to create versions of the product for the iPhone and Facebook, with possible expansion to the iPad, Android phones, and other devices in the future.
