New New York-based Indie game studio at alpha stage of mobile music game looking for part-time (possibly to full-time) junior Unity3D C# developer to help get us through to the release.
You either have decent Unity3D experience and are looking to improve your C# code quality or are have C# .NET experience and are looking to improve your Unity3D-specific skills -- while working on a cool paid project.
Also looking for summer interns.
The studio is led by former Google PM director whose previous project has been exhibited at IndieCade EAST. We care about great gameplay and great code quality.
Unique opportunity to create a niche SaaS startup based on a fully functioning market-leading product.
A thriving New York-based multi-location dog daycare/boarding company is seeking the right person (or team of two people) to spin-off its internal webapp system into a startup SaaS business and lead and build the resulting venture.
There is an attractive opportunity to productize and sell this webapp service to other daycare/boarding companies nationwide (and beyond?) for a monthly subscription.
The webapp was built by former a Google/MIT guy (who co-owns the dog daycare business) with some collaborators along the way. It's a reasonably-sized Python/Django/Javascript app and has been in daily use and continuing improvement for over two years.
We created this webapp because available services for dog daycare/boarding companies were clunky and limited, as typical for software for niche industries. We're confident that whoever takes on this challenge will be able to hit the ground running with a market-leading service.
The right person (or pair) should have exceptional technical skills, a combination of product development and customer discovery skills, and the hunger to create and run a thriving niche SaaS business. And a true love for dogs!
