Company:
L.A. startup with huge potential that is starting to raise initial funding. One co-founder is a successful senior executive that has helped scale a number of tech businesses. The other co-founder was a recent NCAA tennis champion who has also helped companies scale their operations. The business is empowering people to reach their goals – a self-improvement platform and marketplace for all verticals, starting with tennis and quickly broadening out to other verticals.
General requirements:
Can work well in an early stage, fast-paced, unknown, and changing startup environment. Smart, hard-working, and collaborative (with founders, advisors and co-workers).

We are looking for smart people with excellent problem-solving skills who are ambitious and want to be on the ground floor of a start-up company in Los Angeles.

*We don’t need to recreate the wheel on much of the functionality, so the ability to incorporate 3rd party coding
*Athletic background is a plus but not necessary (as initial vertical is in sports).
*Experience with platforms, marketplaces, gamification and/or task management a plus
Front end developer:
iOS (Swift, objective C), Web (js, react or angular js), CSS, hybrid (flutter, react native)
*Experience with game-like user interfaces a plus
Back end developer:
python, sql, cloud tools (aws, google cloud, etc)

*Management of data storage
*Creation of algorithm that takes in inputs from front-end and is able to output actionable tasks for improvement

*Will be the most challenging component of this platform. UX/UI must be fun, intuitive, and useful.
*Creative and confident enough to take a risk on a design that does not currently exist
*Game-like experience of either creating or carrying out addictive tendencies to complete tasks a major plus
