Job Description
About Petridish

Petridish.org is a New York-based technology start-up that is changing the way exploration, field research and scientific projects are funded. We’ve built a web platform that connects world-renowned scientists with the broader public in order to raise awareness about their research and help raise funding directly from private donations. Some people call us the “Kickstarter for science,” but we like to think of ourselves as a next generation National Geographic or Discovery Channel.

We’re a small team and you would be working directly with the founders who have extensive experience in venture capital, business, engineering, and web development.

About the role

Petridish is seeking a full stack web developer who believes in our mission to promote scientific research and wants to work closely with our founding team. This person will:

• Help evaluate, prioritize, design and build new features for the site
• Make key platform decisions and be comfortable jumping into and evaluating new technologies

Requirements

Our stack: Rails, HAML, SASS, JQuery, AJAX, Git, Heroku, PostgreSQL

• BS in Computer Science or related field preferred
• Experience in web application development, CSS, JQuery
• Experience with MVC frameworks (Rails a plus)
• Ability to translate requirements into application features, presentation layer markup, style, and interactions
• Experience writing cross-browser and cross-platform markup, CSS, and JavaScript

The role comes with a full-time salary and generous options plan.

To apply, please submit your resume, and a short email outlining your experience and why you are interested in this job to: team@petridish.org
