Well-capitalized startup seeks talented engineers

Well-capitalized start-up seeks talented Rails/React developers to help pioneer global commerce on the Internet. You must have experience designing and building large and complex (yet maintainable) systems, and you should be able to do so in less time than most competent people think possible. You should have a BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or the equivalent. Top-notch communication skills are essential. Familiarity with web servers and HTML would be helpful but is not necessary. Expect talented, motivated, intense, and interesting co-workers. Must be willing to relocate to the San Francisco area (we will help cover moving costs).
