This automated animation company creates short animations in just a few clicks from the user. These animations are then used in full videos.

They are currently looking for a talented and driven individual to join their fast growing startup.

You would work alongside their existing developer initially, with the view of taking over and becoming the lead developer in the short term (3 - 6 months).

Role: You should have an excellent grasp of AWS. This is one of the largest components of what you will be doing, as we are responsible for rendering over 3,000 videos each and every day, in the cloud.

You would be looking for ways they can optimise the platform for speed, and also bring their costs down.

On top of that, the web app is built with Ruby, and they also script/control a third party app using Python.

The main languages you will need to know are Jquery, Ruby and Python.

Location: Currently, their whole team works remotely. They will be getting a small office in Preston in the next few weeks, which can be used when they need to meet. But the location you work would be up to you.

This can be a challenge for some, so you need to be disciplined with your time management.

They will communicate via Skype and Gitter/Slack daily.

Responsibilities Include:

- Managing their existing support developer and delegating tasks.
- Daily management of their server infrastructure, adjusting resource to optimise for speed and cost.
- Overhauling and systemising the development process within the business, streamlining it and making it more efficient.
- Liaise with their design and support teams ensuring updates are made quickly to alleviate customer support bottlenecks.

The Opportunity:

You are likely to be one step from CTO yourself right now, and looking to progress.

Right now, you would have the chance to shape the whole development side of the business, from the ground up - with full freedom from the founders of the company.

If you want to join a unique, fast growing and fast paced team, and you're prepared to work hard - this has the opportunity to be the career move of a lifetime!
