Shoefitr is looking for a Front-End engineer (Pittsburgh)

Shoefitr is software that helps online shoe shoppers find the best-fitting shoe when shopping online. We ask a shopper what shoe and size he currently wears, compare it to the shoe he wants to buy, and recommend the best-fitting size. We accomplish this with a database of internal shoe measurements acquired using 3D scanning technology. Our software interprets the raw scan data and makes meaningful size/shoe recommendations.

You may have read about us in TechCrunch, Time Magazine, CNet, or on Hacker News. We just closed a competitive Series A. We’re hot. And we’re looking for a talented front-end engineer to help us shape the future of Internet apparel retail.

About the position: You will be our 3rd full time software-engineer. Engineer #1 is a co-founder, and engineer #2 previously worked on Microsoft's C++ compiler. We're smart guys. We think you’ll learn a lot from us, and we look forward to learning a lot from you.

You'll work with us to build out our product offering for footwear retailers as well as a stand-alone retail site. This will involve working with our designers to make UX decisions, prototyping experimental features, and building reusable Javascript components to simplify development. We expect you to be a "full-stack" programmer, but most of your time will be spent developing the user-facing pieces.

About you:

- BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

- Mastery of Javascript, HTML and CSS. Experience with other dynamically-typed languages a plus.

- A product portfolio that demonstrates you can build incredible user experiences.
