Here at Backplane, we are building the future. While many think social networks have plateaued, we are changing the game, building a real-time rich media, visually navigated environment where people can meet, socialize, and collaborate.

Backplan is launching with the web’s largest (+56 million!) and most hardcore fan community, Lady Gaga’s “Little Monsters”. Based on a person’s interests or passions, users will experience a network that beautifully integrates advanced technologies such as augmented reality, media streaming, and content-based chat to achieve an extreme level of live, user-to-user interaction.

We are funded by the smartest investors who share our vision; Eric Schmidt, Lady Gaga, Ron Conway, Google Ventures, Tomorrow Ventures, Menlo Ventures, Justin Bieber, and many other top Entertainment and Silicon Valley professionals.

Check us out on Techcrunch (http://goo.gl/6lc6e) and the NYT (http://goo.gl/piQt6) to get more of a sense of what we are working on and our team. Headquartered in Palo Alto, we are currently 10 employees and growing.

At Backplane, you will build beautiful applications that scale to tens or hundreds of millions of users. Our technology stack includes PHP (with HipHop), MySQL, Python, iOS, Android, MemSQL, Google App Engine, AWS, git/GitHub.

You will have unlimited creative freedom, work with the most cutting edge technologies, own your own features, and make the HUGE impact you desire within an early team.
We really take care of our people. We are less a typical startup and more a group of friends out to change the world. We are not a traditional company, and don't intend to be one.
If you join our early team now, you will receive the benefits of playing a pivotal role in shaping our product, and come on board with competitive salary and early stock options at this most exciting and promising startup!
