We are looking for a technology expert to join the ranks of the senior staff at Polymath.  Each one of our ventures has large, critical technology components and we need a technologist to lead the ventures through key decisions, as well as roll up his/her sleeves to build.  Candidates should have 5+ years of experience developing software, a deep appreciation for user experience, and the ability to build excellent technology teams for the ventures.  Spanish is a plus but not a requirement. 

Along with being comfortable handling in various program languages, you should be excited working never-done-before projects in the startup environment -- being able to have the vision, flexibility, and smarts to create beautiful software. We like to see our technologists focus on particular ventures but then transition into supporting other ventures -- creating an incredibly exciting, entrepreneurial environment in which to work and learn.

• Bachelors degree in related field
• 5+ years of programming experience
• Proven experience leading teams
• Previous experience in startup environment
• Ideally should have experience with JavaScript, Python and PHP.

• Excited about tackling thorny engineering and passionate about good application architecture
• Eagerness to understand the business operations and its needs
• Hunger to solve critical and difficult problems
• Code with love and care for quality
