Felt | Frontend Engineer | Oakland, CA or REMOTE (US timezones) | Full Time | https://felt.com

Felt is the best way to make maps on the internet. It's surprisingly hard to make a map today, and people in 15+ industries rely on them to do their jobs. Climate change and the resulting natural disasters are forcing even more people to become map-makers, and Felt is here to meet that need. It's the first easy-to-use collaborative mapping software, founded by a team of technologists with a proven track-record. My co-founder and CEO, Sam, is a former YC founder who sold his previous company [1] and I'm an early Uber engineer.

We are on the lookout for our next frontend engineers. At this role, you will help build our beautiful interactive mapping front-end, pushing the boundaries of what's possible on an infinite canvas. Ideal candidates will have experience with Canvas, WebGL and other web graphics technologies, comfortable with complex UIs that work in multiplayer settings. Feel free to check out our blog on some of our work [2][3] and see if this excites you.

We are well-funded and and you can read more about it our funding here [4], and our announcement here [5]. Our terms are employee-friendly terms such as early exercise, a 10-year exercise window and even a matching 401(k).[6]

If you are an experienced frontend engineer, please reach out via [email protected] and mention HN!

Those equity benefits are great, but I don't see them on the Careers page where you referenced them.

May I apply if I live in Europe but prefer to work during US business hours (from EST to PST) as I did during the last 5+ years?
