    Sync Inc | Platform Engineer | Los Angeles or Remote | https://syncinc.so

    Integrating with third-party platforms has looked the same for the past 15+ years: bespoke and limited JSON APIs. Want to help change that?

    At Sync Inc, we make accessing data from third-party platforms as easy as accessing data in your database. Instead of having to learn the ins-and-outs of a third-party API to access their data, developers can connect to a real-time replica Postgres database instead.

    We launched in December 2020 with Airtable as our first platform. We’ve made spectacular progress and we’re already working with some amazing companies. Just crossed $3,500 MRR, marching towards $10,000 MRR [1]. Backed by David Sacks/Craft Ventures. Adding Stripe support here in June.

    We're looking for our second founding engineer to join us on the journey. This is a special time: you’ll play an instrumental role in shaping everything from our culture, to our engineering workflow, to our process design/architecture. Really fun and interesting challenges ahead.

    We primarily build in Elixir/Phoenix, but no prior experience with Elixir is required.

  • cli

    Official Command Line Interface for the IPinfo API (IP geolocation and other types of IP data) (by ipinfo)

  • anvil-runtime

    The runtime engine for hosting Anvil web apps

  • Anvil | Software Developer | Cambridge, UK | On-site/Semi-Remote | Full-time or Part-time | https://anvil.works/jobs

    Anvil | Junior Software Developer | Cambridge, UK | On-site/Semi-Remote | Full-time or Part-time | https://anvil.works/jobs

    Anvil | Developer Advocate | Cambridge, UK | On-site/Semi-Remote | Full-time or Part-time | https://anvil.works/jobs

    Help us fix web development at Anvil (https://anvil.works)!

    Web development is way too hard – Javascript, HTML, CSS, SQL, and frameworks coming out of your ears. So we built Anvil: a simpler way for anyone to build full-stack web apps, entirely in Python. Anvil is a web framework; it’s an online code editor; it’s a GUI builder; and it’s a hosting platform. And you’ll be helping us with all of it.

    We're looking for:

    SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS:

    Build the platform that's fixing web development for everyone. You’ll be working on the Anvil editor (that’s the development environment, code editor, drag-and-drop designer, version control, and so on) and the Anvil runtime (that’s the Python-to-JS compiler, UI toolkit, database, integrations, and the hosting engine that makes it so easy to deploy).

    Our stack is mostly Javascript, Clojure and Python (in descending order of line count). We don’t need you to be an expert in all of these already, and for the junior role we don't need any. Otherwise, we’ll want to see evidence that you can hit the ground running with at least one of them – or that you’re a great all-rounder who won’t have a problem with any of them.

    Much (or most) of your work will be open source: https://anvil.works/open-source

    DEVELOPER ADVOCATES:

    We need developers with great communication skills, to show people how to build awesome things with Anvil. You’ll be writing how-to guides, blog posts and tutorials, building example apps, presenting Anvil at conferences (when those resume), and helping our users – from individual developers to huge tech companies – build their applications. And then you’ll help us work out how to improve Anvil for them.

    It's rewarding work – developers love being introduced to Anvil (our stand is always crowded[0] at conferences!). Plus, there are all the advantages of an early-stage startup: lots of autonomy, and huge impact.

    We're bootstrapped and profitable, with customers ranging from tiny startups to household names. Find out more: https://anvil.works/jobs
