    Who we are
    ----------
    We are Second Funnel - a small, growing startup making the web more visually interesting & relevant. We believe advertising currently sucks and it can be made awesome. How? Through visual content that peeks your curiousity & leads to more related and interesting content (think: Pinterest meets marketing).
    We are Second Funnel - a small, growing startup making the web more visually interesting and relevant. We believe advertising currently sucks, but can be made awesome. Or at least less terrible. How? Through visuals that peek curiousity and lead to interesting, engaging content (think Pinterest meets marketing).

    Our visual marketing platform is used by top brands (Gap, Samsung) and retailers (NewEgg) to engage their audience and find new customers. Our headquarters is located in Kitchener, ON, with much of the team operating virtually throughout North America.

    Our team is distributed across North America, from Silicon Valley to Waterloo, Ontario.


    Who are you?
    ------------
    - **You are a cool cat.** You look the part, have your own style & have fun showing it.
    - **You think like your user.** You empathize with their needs, wants and desires. If they are young, you give them animated gifs. If they are flamboyant, you give them color. If they have ADHD, you give them sub-second load times. You want to know what makes them tick, why they click, and how to get them to click on more things... for science.
    - **You are passionate & curious.** We might find you on StackOverflow asking and answering questions, hacking away at an open-source project on Github, or writing about something else awesome on your blog. You get excited about technology.
    - **You love challenges & are tenacious.** You get excited about working on new and different projects. When life gives you lemons, you make life rue the day it thought it could give you lemons!

    Full-stack Software Developer
    =============================

    Are you a **passionate** web developer who wears **skinny jeans**, checks Foursquare before **heading out** & loves developing in Python and/or Javascript (or other languages you love)? We are looking for you.


    Who we are
    ----------
    We are Second Funnel. A small, growing startup making the web more visually interesting & relevant. Our visual marketing platform is used by top brands (Gap, Samsung) and retailers (NewEgg) to engage their audience and find new customers.

    Our headquarters is located in Kitchener, ON, with much of the team operating **virtually** throughout North America.


    Who are you?
    ------------
    - **You are a cool cat.** You look the part, have your own style & have fun showing it.
    - **You think like your user.** You empathize with their needs, wants and desires. If they are young, you give them animated gifs. If they are flamboyant, you give them color. If they have ADHD, you give them sub-second load times. You want to know what makes them tick, why they click, and how to get them to click on more things... for science.
    - **You are passionate & curious.** We might find you on StackOverflow asking and answering questions, hacking away at an open-source project on Github, or writing about something else awesome on your blog. You get excited about technology.
    - **You love challenges & are tenacious.** You get excited about working on new and different projects. If a project needs you to learn something new, like a language or technology, you won't let it stop you. When life gives you lemons, you make life rue the day it thought it could give you lemons!


    What will you be working on?
    ----------------------------
    There are a variety of projects to work on and many hats for you to wear.

    You may be working on a recommendation engine to find out a customer's intentions, or a tool to help people find content that they are actually interested in, or even work on open-source tools to make life better for other developers.

    You will be working on projects that directly affect the success of the company, and more importantly, you will have a lot of say in how projects get done.

    You will be working mainly with Javascript and Python (in particular, Django), and other technologies as well (e.g. Ansible, South, Jenkins, Linux, Amazon Web Services, the list goes on!).

    The technologies you currently know won't matter as long as you are willing to learn.


    Why you should join us
    ----------------------
    - **See the immediate impact**: We push code daily that is in use immediately! Your work is very visible to the world - everyone you know will be able to use it. The women in your life will be particularly proud!
    - **You pick your hours**: We want you to set the hours that work best for you. We accommodate all hours, as long as it overlaps with 10:30am to 3:30pm (ET).
    - **Flexible location**: We operate as a virtual team, with team members located throughout North America. Its fun to operate at the Waterloo office, but you can work from anywhere as long as you are online & taking part. Upon starting you will be expected to spend some time with other team members in Kitchener.
    - **Workations!**: A few times a year we bring the team together someplace awesome to work and play. Recent locations include Ontario cottage-country, Lake Tahoe, CA and Santa Cruz, CA.
    - **Competitive compensation & great benefits**: We offer competitive salaries, great equity compensation, and great benefits (we went a little crazy with the massage therapy...)
