Apply now for Lead Developer job at BackerKit in San Francisco - BackerKit is a great opportunity to work with creators, work on a small team, gain exposure to how a startup business works, and have the opportunity to grow.

We are building something that has never existed before—the backbone of the crowdfunded economy. We’re trusted by comic book artists, tabletop gamers, filmmakers, spatula designers, guitar makers, fashion designers, 3D printing engineers, and hundreds of other creative entrepreneurs. Basically, we have the coolest customers a startup can have :) We’ve worked with hundreds of awesome crowdfunding projects, big and small, from campaigns like Wondermark’s Jigsaw Puzzles of Fictional Victorian Charts to Reading Rainbow and Soylent.

BackerKit is a group of 7 creators (artists / designers / writers /makers / hackers / developers) who are excited about helping other creators in the crowdfunding space, and are looking for someone who understands what it’s like to be one to join our team. Both founders have worked on the Kickstarter campaign Diaspora, which is now a fully community-runned effort and part of the ‘Free Software Support Network’, a project by Eben Moglen. 

We value transparency, the willingness to try a bunch of things and learn from them, and be challenged by different ideas. We also believe crowdfunding is a new way for creators to bring their projects to life, or even help jumpstart their dream of starting their own business.

Also, our office is in a storefront located in Noe Valley in San Francisco, right next to a business that provides folk music lessons for babies (sooo Noe Valley, we know!).
