Chief Technology Officer
HUDDLERS - a social network for the everyday athlete aiming to answer the where, who, and what questions of recreational athletics transforming what is currently a word of mouth phenomenon into an interactive online platform. Huddlers is the creation of your online athletic identity showcasing all your athletic activity, accomplishments and attributes.
It is a recently launched Toronto startup in private beta, our goal is to begin transitioning away from an incredibly talented group of freelance developers and designers and begin fostering our own team. Team Building is key. As CTO, you will join Huddlers as a technical co-founder, with the ability to cultivate and manage your own technical team. We are a Ruby on Rails web application, and we have ambitious plans for mobile development imminently. We have a strong established user base of early adopters and strategic partnerships with plans to add high impact evangelists, and deployment of marketing strategy.
Guard your excitement for just a moment: we have a 2,000 square foot office in mid-town Toronto that’s great for getting work done but awful for impressing friends and hosting power lunches. Compensation by mix of pay and founder shares, monetary compensation will undoubtedly be less than market rate and those founder shares may not be worth all that much in a couple years (but they may be worth a ton -- we certainly think so). It’s risky but it’s exciting as hell.
Experience: It would be really awesome if you had previous experience as CTO or technical lead of a software company in consumer based online interactions - but if you’re incredibly smart and have a fair bit of hubris we’d love to meet you as well. Desire to be a leader and strong communication skills are essential.
Skills: 2-3 years of Ruby on Rails experience; Javascript; HTML5; and experience with CSS libraries -- ability to hit a jump shot or a hard line drive is a bonus. Knowledge of database systems and concepts such as indexing, partitioning, relational and transactional databases -- desire to run a 5k on a weekend would be nice as well.
We Value: a passion for: sports, fitness, work ethic, discipline, tacos, humility, and design.
We Don’t Value: egos, bosses, Klout scores, titles, mediocrity, stability
If you’re ambitious, driven, curious, and someone that wants to make a dent in the world. Inquire within.
