About Earth

We are looking for a Full-Stack Developer to join our team and help build a brand-new product called Earth. This is an exciting opportunity to work on a highly nimble and innovative team that is building the next generation of tools for corporate innovation.

The idea for Earth initially came up at our internal cottage innovation sprint in August 2022. A small team of 3, including our CEO, built a prototype in less than 6 hours and demoed the product to the team. Immediately afterwards, we staffed/hired a small team to take the product to the next level (1 PM, 1 developer, and 1 designer). 6 months later, the team has built an MVP and is ready to launch the product this year with some of the largest Fortune 500 companies in the world. But there is still A LOT of work to do, so we are expanding the team That’s where you come in.

The Earth team is a very small and quick-moving team that aims for excellence from a technical, design, and business perspective. You will be working directly with only 2-3 other people (2 Developers, and a Product Manager).





The core product is a hackathon logistics platform that manages everything from event registration, employee training, team formation, project judging, and integration with other video conferencing platforms. Earth aims to become the single tool that any Fortune 500 company needs to innovate.

Success Factors

Have a strong growth mindset and be very receptive to feedback: We have a high-pain, high-gain ****mentality. Feedback from your peers, manager and co‑founders will come often and rapid, and this offers you a chance to grow extremely rapidly. This may come in the form of 1:1 chats with your manager, and direct feedback on live demos/presentations. You will need to be emotionally resilient and have a strong growth mindset to thrive in our culture.

Have the "startup hustle": Our working hours are not a standard 9-5. The team may often work late nights and on weekends to meet deadlines and respond to client needs. We try to balance this during our downtime with slower days/hours when we’re less busy.
