    Jumpcut is a Y Combinator and venture-backed startup that creates cinematic online courses with the world's biggest influencers.

    The founding team at Jumpcut has years of experience creating binge-worthy content — we've created multiple viral YouTube channels that now have over 4.We're now taking that content creation experience and applying it to the monotonous world of online education.

    If you've ever taken an online course, you already know that 99% of them suck.

    Think about what can be done with video:

    we have the ability to create things like Avatar, The Dark Knight, and Game of Thrones, but the status quo when it comes to online courses is this.

    In an ice cream parlor of unlimited flavors, every other online education company has opted for vanilla.

    We have our eye on the mint triple chocolate chip birthday cake cookie dough with strawberry whipped cream and banana nut sprinkles.

    Our team is approaching online learning in a completely new way: combining educational content with compelling stories, captivating cinematography, creative soundtracks, and much more.

    We believe the future of education lies in creating world-class content.
    If you want to learn more about our vision, check out our blog post about the future of education:
    Here's a visual example of the difference between most online courses, and ours:
    You'll be running Jumpcut's engineering team, which consists of 6 remote engineers right now.

    Given our small team size, this is not a full time management position you'll be spending 50% of the time coding and 50% of the time managing.

    The management portion of the job, specifically, is not administrative.

    It's closely related to what a senior engineer/architect would do, such as:

    You'll be the most senior engineer on the team, responsible for code review, final testing, and pushing the PR live.

    If someone asks where videos are stored, you'll show them the url, the Cloudfront distro, and how the Cloudfront distro is tied to an s3 bucket.

    You'll also be creating documentation (or assigning others to do this) on every part of the app so that our engineers can find the answers for themselves.

    Organization building.

    You'll create the conventions for code quality and style, as well as the process for code review that involves the entire team.

    Turning the Product Manager's task requests into engineering tasks.

    When the product team wants to implement a new feature, you'll take their business requirements to create the engineering task, keeping in mind all dependencies (Metabase, analytics, etc).In terms of ramp up, you'll be working primarily as a developer for the first month, and slowly transitioning into these above management responsibilities after a month.

    Full stack development
    Define and follow metrics in order to evaluate projects, before and after their release
    Work closely with design and engineering to ensure features are built and tested to spec
    Evaluate candidates in our engineering hiring funnel and run all hiring rounds
    Web development should be in your blood
    Comprehensive experience with HTML, CSS and "proper" JavaScript (e.g. quickly markup a web app and connect it to the back-end data store through REST interface, implemented with )
    Strong opinions on web design and design philosophies
    Extensive experience of designing relational data models and implementing them with any relational database system
    Good knowledge of different network protocols

    Ability to do everything:
    write OOP JavaScript all the way to solving nasty CSS browser compatibility issues
    Prior experience of collaborating on large software project a plus
    Able to create mockups with Photoshop a plus
    Experience with React a HUGE plus
    js
    React / Redux
    HTML / CSS / Javascript
