Senior Front End Engineer | TINT | http://www.tintup.com | San Francisco | ONSITE | $126K - $175K
TINT: A GREAT PLACE TO WORK
We’re looking for Senior Front End Engineers to join our small 30-person team. We offer competitive equity packages, full medical/dental, and free lunch everyday, among other benefits.
Over 5,000 brands use TINT to power their content marketing and help us generate $410k MRR. We are proudly PROFITABLE, not dependent on investor funding, and have been consistently growing our top line. We aspire to be a company like Basecamp or Fog Creek Software. We pair everyday, and every Friday we work on hack projects that we think will push the business forward. Our current stack is Backbone, Rails, MySQL, and AWS.
We have a uniquely transparent culture, as featured in the Wall Street Journal: http://www.wsj.com/articles/emote-control-silicon-valley-slump-has-mil…

I am the author of the post. If you want to hear more of our war stories, read here: http://www.tintup.com/blog/how-our-tech-startup-created-a-profitable-b…
In summary, we tried raising money, failed miserably, started asking customers what they found valuable, maximize on that, and charge based on value we provided.
