CTO - either Singapore or Sydney basd

You are a full-stack developer who can build and lead teams, but you also like to code yourself. You're probably more a back-end developer, but you also appreciate good design.

Our current stack is Ruby, Angular, NodeJS and React, and you will drive the architecture so that we are flexible and can scale. You will be working with the CEO to help companies make corporate learning fun, memorable and impactful.

What matters to you is making beautifully designed products whilst being agile and getting fast feedback from customers so we can iterate. You have a proven track record on building fast prototypes and products that can scale.

Having knowledge and passion about gamification, data/analytics is also a big plus.

What we are looking for...
Passion
If you have Node.js/Meteor or Ruby experience it’s a plus but not a requirement. Your ability in learning new technologies is way more important for us than years of experience with specific tech. However, as we are looking for core team members at this moment we are only considering candidates who can kick ass with tech not just play with it in free time. You will be working on our new system (Node + Meteor) and maintaining old version (RubyOnRails + Angular) at the same time.

If you’re attracted to startups because you think you’ll cash out big soon, don’t bother applying. We want only passionate technologists who are truly out to better humanity. Our vision is to transform how employees learn so that learning is fun, wholistic and impactful. Don’t bother applying if you don’t like working with corporate customers, or you don’t have an innate love of learning yourself. You actually care that what you are building solves the customers’ points, and you can empathise with them.

Fail Fast, but smart
You take calculated risks and take responsibility when you make mistakes, and are comfortable failing fast and learning quickly from them. You must have a stomach for taking risks, which in a startup world, includes the uncomfortable feeling of doing something just to keep the lights on, but being mindful of the choice we made, and still having the focus on the overall vision.


Balanced
We are looking for self-driven individuals who can plan their day and deliver on time with no reminders and nudging. You are comfortable with making decisions and balance what data you can get, speed required for the decision as well as your gut. You take responsibility for finding the balance you will need to sustain the rollercoaster journey that is the startup life.

Play, As a Team
OK, I borrowed this one from Atlassian. As the CEO & Founder, I can be intense about delivering great products. But I also deeply care about people and relationships I build. I want my team to help me build the culture that reflects what we are building – I want us to always have FUN doing what we do, just as I want our customers to have fun learning. Whether you end up being the Lead Developer, the CTO or one of our talented engineers contributing to the team, you take pride in your work and sharing what you’re learning with your team. You also want to contribute to building the team culture and are always on the lookout for talent that may one day join our team.

Be the change you seek
This one from Gandhi…which Atlassian borrowed;) Don’t bother applying if you’re the person who after a meeting wants someone to take notes and spoonfeeds you, or you’re the person that when something goes wrong, looks first at blaming others before looking at themselves for what you could have done differently. If you are the person who typically asks when you don’t understand something, then you might just be the right person for us. Are you the type of person when if you see something that doesn’t work, you have the courage and resourcefulness to make the change that you think is required?
