Senior Founding Full Stack Engineer

We are a close-knit, high-performing team, and we’re looking to onboard a Founding Full Stack Engineer with experience in machine learning (ML).

NOTE
This is a founding engineer role. If you’re not as excited about the business as you are about the technical challenges, this position is not the right fit.

Why Rappo
At Rappo, we believe in building genuine, long-term professional relationships. We’re firm believers in the principles from Give and Take by Adam Grant, fostering a culture of mutual support and collaboration.

How Rappo works
We’re building a network for professionals—founders and champions (leaders)— focused on seeking and offering help to accelerate growth and innovation.

What is Rappo
Rappo is a network where champions and founders collaborate on early-stage startups. Think of it as a niche version of LinkedIn. From a technical perspective, we’re creating a social graph where people are the nodes and their attributes (work, experience, tools, interests) are the edges. Additionally, we are leveraging machine learning to enhance our matching algorithms and improve the user experience.

What attracts us

1. Problem solving - We know good developers always have the knack to figure it out
2. Can do attitude - Say what you gonna do and do it
3. Accountability - Take extreme ownership. Be pride of the work
4. Curiousity - You are likely spending time on HackerNews, Reddit, hacking during your downtime.
5. Customer obsession - Going above and beyond to solve a customer problem

Role Overview:
As a Full Stack Developer at Rappo, you will be responsible everything related to tech. You will work closely with the rest of the team to shape our technology.
