Additional Info
MeCritic, a social web application, now in its 2nd Beta (about to deploy the 3rd Beta Release) is looking to add a developer with experience. The selected candidate will be the second programmer on the team.
The candidate will be focused on pushing forward existing features and assisting with the conception and design of new functionality.
The ideal candidate will have experience working for either Yelp, Citysearch, Urbanspoon, Facebook or a similar web business that is geared toward the dining experience or of a social nature.
We're looking for a candidate that "gets" our vision and is capable of contributing more than just doing the tasks they are assigned. We want a candidate that can help us develop and push MeCritic forward in more ways than just coding.
To get a feel for MeCritic please join and play around with the app ( www.mecritic.com ) and see if you think you'd be interested in working on this project. The invitation code is 'XYZ' without the quotes.
The position is a paid contract for 1 month (4 weeks) that we would then look to convert to an equity stake if both parties are happy with one another. This gives the candidate a chance to get a feel for MeCritic and decide if it's a project they would like to be a part of long-term. It also gives us an idea of the candidates potential and if we feel we could work with the candidate as a long term partner.
