Job Description
Your world is the confluence of beautiful design and impeccable structure. Your code, markup, and styles are nimble, scalable, and clean. You salivate over the latest trends in design, coding and web innovations. You appreciate new challenges and strive to optimize the user experience by taking a powerful back-end and translating it into a robust and usable application that people look forward to using on a daily basis.

Responsibilities:
Building a robust but user-friendly front-end web application to a robust back-end system
Contributing to key decisions for building out and scaling the system
Qualifications:
We are seeking candidates who exhibit a strong desire to work in a startup environment and a record of high achievement. Successful candidates will have:

Playing a musical instrument well (we kid, but that sure would be nice)
1-3 years of professional experience
Degree in computer science or related field (preferred), but actual work and accomplishments trump all
Experience building solid user interfaces to a set of backend web services
In-depth knowledge of the LAMP stack
Strong fluency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ActionScript, PHP
Experience with WordPress
Expertise with web/mobile usability standards and practices
Experience with usability testing and A/B testing is a plus
Nice-to-haves:
Experience coding Cocoa (iPhone/iPad), Android, Java
Understanding of Apache server configurations is a plus
Benefits:
We offer killer compensation, stock options, a performance bonus, and healthcare.

We are unusually principled in our approach to office culture, as it mirrors the values that drive our product - making life better, more efficient, and more productive:

Improving our customers’ lives. Be a part of a company that is improving how people invest for their future: to buy their first house, to fund their kid’s college, to live better.
Efficient. Have an idea, put it into action. Observe how well it works (or doesn’t) as part of a tight-knit team. Have room to experiment, iterate, and learn.
Transparent. We share our insights and successes with each other regularly.
Goal-oriented. We have a big board with our customers’ goals and deposits. Growing this aligns and motivates us–as our goal-based investing motivates our customers to save.
Advised. We set goals for employees they can achieve, coaching them to learn and grow.
Using the best tools. We believe in giving our people the tools they need to perform their best. Choose whatever computer setup and extras you want.
Personalized. We work when and how we want–be that 3PM or 3AM, in socks or at home–however we get more done. Unlimited vacation (for real). We want our team to achieve their best at their best, and hugely support life / work balance.
Stocked with perks. Our kitchen is stocked with fresh-ground coffee, sodas, gourmet snacks, cereal bar. Free meals (hello, Seamless!). Gym reimbursement, free bike storage.
Rewarding. We reward each other with $200 bonuses whenever we do something good. We make a big deal of milestones, because it makes us happier and better.
