Because I want someone to share equity and have a vested interest in the company.

Full-stack dev co-founder for web-service infrastructure startup -- SFBay, possibly remote initially. H1B-okay

Looking for a technical co-founder to join technical founder in an ambitious startup that aims to solve a widespread pain point in business-consumer interaction.

This isn't a todo or photo-sharing app. If successful it will be an important part of web infrastructure that many people use but hardly think about. No hype, no quirkiness, no ego.

It has a sane business model that doesn't depend on advertising or acquisition.

Once established it will exhibit a moat that will make competition very difficult.

You must:

- be proficient with full-stack web development and have demonstrable experience through work products

- be driven, gritty, hard-nosed, goal focused

- be very intelligent (preferably with credentials)

- have shown that you can transfer your problem solving ability to different fields (accomplished background/education in another field like physics, biology, philosophy? Write about topics outside CS/Eng/tech? Solved problems in another field?)

- get things done

- be technically talented in general

- be self-directed and self-sufficient

- be able to find out what needs to be done, what tools are needed and learn how to use those tools.

- be able to take ownership of nearly all the technical stack of a typical web service

- be able to communicate effectively: be articulate, sometimes have strong opinions and be able to defend them without being dogmatic.

- be critical: You shouldn't believe the hype or be a conformist. You should be able to analyze issues independently and come to your own conclusions. You should have some justifiable convictions that are not in line with popular sentiment.

- be thoughtful: You should often think about how to make things better, what things are broken, how things fit into the bigger picture and about things happening in the world.

- Knowledge of web security and how to apply cryptography a plus.

Open to existing 2-3 person teams also. Open to recent graduates, grad school dropouts and those with experience.

When responding please enclose a link or attachment to relevant work product samples along with a short resume and short introductory letter.

No contractors.
