Help us solve real challenges and inspire more people with beautiful art.
In a sentence, Art.sy is Pandora for the fine art world. We use artificial intelligence to expose collectors — experienced and inexperienced alike — to beautiful works of art they would never otherwise have discovered. Our goal is to disrupt the existing fine art market, and expand it to the 99.9% of Americans who don’t buy fine art but instead buy reproductions and mass-produced prints.
We recently raised funding from some incredible investors including Thrive Capital, Founder Collective, Eric Schmidt, Jack Dorsey, Wendi Murdoch, Dasha Zhukova, and Jim Breyer. We would love for you to join us and help take Art.sy to the next level.
We are looking for a rare combination: someone who is brilliant and creative yet also humble and a pleasure to work with. In addition to interviews for technical and cultural fit, we will require a comprehensive list of references, and a paid month-long contracting period before making final offer decisions.
Lead Developer (NYC)
Art.sy is looking for an extremely passionate, self-motivated, and entrepreneurial Lead Developer to join our core team. This is one of our most senior positions and you will help shape both our cultural DNA and our vision for the future. Your responsibility: turn that vision into code.
Our web application is built in jQuery on top of Zend (an MVC + OO LAMP framework for PHP), and our artificial intelligence algorithms are in a Java web service. But specific languages aren’t as important to us. Our philosophy is simple: hire the best people — languages are just tools to an end. We are particularly interested in people with diverse passions such as writing, design, machine learning, graph theory, computer vision, non-relational databases, stand-up, and meditation. You get the idea.
You must:
- Have built and scaled web applications (ideally in an MVC PHP framework).
- Be hungry for a core role with a lot of independence.
- Have cool projects already under your belt that you can point to.
- Enjoy working with teams and feel comfortable in a leadership role.
- Have an appreciation for beautiful design and the user experience.
