We believe that time is the most valuable resource on earth. Spontaneously is a service built to help you do more of what you want to do with the time that you have. Think of it as being a combination of a virtual assistant and a personal concierge, helping you work out logistics as well as discovering amazing opportunities. We do this by connecting the things that you want to do with the right times, ideal places and appropriate people.
We are transforming an industry that has not changed since the birth of software as a service, the socially & geographically aware web, or rich mobile computing. Our solution is as much born out of technology & data science as it is out of respect for design & human psychology. Our culture is one of rapid experimentation, individual autonomy, and passion for doing what is right for our users. We are a team editors in our own domains, motivated by solving everyday problems of everyday people. We value efficiency, community, and learning. In addition to competitive salary, equity, and benefits, to these ends, you will be set up with the technology package of your choosing, an events budget to allow you participate in all of the local activities, and a learning stipend to be used on books, materials, and courses according to your interests. To support us in the adventure ahead, we teamed up with the leading venture (Accel, Lerer, Founder Collective) & angel investors in the industry. Our ambitions could not be higher. We hope that you will join us.
As a platform agnostic service, Spontaneously is committed to delivering user experiences tailored to the unique opportunities nested in each medium. Today our technology stack is fairly modular and flexible. If you have platforms & languages that work well for you, we welcome your domain expertise. Now is the time for impact. Our founding team is long on mobile experience - with 5 years of building more than 15 bootstrapped iOS applications under our belts. You should be similarly well equipped to lead front-end web development and be excited by that challenge. You should want to build - not just groundbreaking products - but a group of formidable & enviable peers as part of your team. You would work in between the CEO/Head of Product & the CTO, and ideally be based in NYC.
