NOW HIRING: Software Engineer

Company: Gaia GPS

Website: https://www.gaiagps.com

Headquarters: Berkeley, California, United States


Engineering at Gaia GPS means being on 1 of 2 small teams. Each team has cross-platform skills (iOS, Android, web, design) and sets its own roadmap in collaboration with user support and marketing. There is a huge frontier of ideas to explore, from core maptech and search problems, to the quest for an easy and engaging UX.

Gaia GPS has recently grown to 23 people, including 12 engineers, 5 people in support/testing, 2 in marketing, 1 UX designer, and 3 managers. The company has a software culture — marketing, support, and management folks do a lot of coding to improve ops and help with the product.

The company is boot-strapped, profitable, and looking to hire at a rate of 1 person per month. It's an interesting time to work at Gaia GPS because of this growth too, as the company transforms to work at a larger scale.
