You’ll be the first official hire for CallScaler which means you’ll be able to make game-changing decisions and be an integral part to this company’s success.

CallScaler recently got accepted into TinySeed startup accelerator, meaning we’ve been given a bit of funding and a lot of help & resources from knowledgeable people in the SaaS space

• Leading the process of architecting, designing, developing, and building new features that bring value to our users
• Take ownership of projects from start to finish and collaborate on key road-map product decisions.
• Collaborate, guide, and mentor current and future engineering team members.
• Solve technical problems of high scope and complexity.
• Troubleshoot, support, and collaborate on user-reported issues

• Experience and interest in growing a SaaS app to tens of thousands of users
• Strong knowledge of SQL (writing and optimizing queries)
• Experience with REST, XML, JSON, etc.
• Able to solve problems in a simple, neat, and organized way
• Experience working in an agile environment, scoping and road-mapping, and self-management
• 3+ years experience with DevOps to help us scale the application effectively
• Knowledge of web performance and speed/memory optimization techniques

Bonus points (but, not required!)

• Experience working with other developers and potentially hiring & managing other developers to help you with more junior level tasks
• Understanding of test-driven development and testing in general
• API design experience for frontend or server-to-server
• Basic understanding of web servers, SSL, deployments, and continuous integration

About CallScaler

Hello! Curran here, the founder of CallScaler. We’re building an ambitious, profitable, and (mostly) bootstrapped SaaS startup that helps lead generation businesses track phone calls and effectively manage their clients & affiliates.

We started this journey in 2019 with just a freelance developer and I. We’ve been building for the past two years and recently got accepted into the TinySeed Accelerator program in Fall of 2021. This is an exciting time for us as we grow, but that also means we need to continually meet the demands of our users to help them solve fun & interesting problems in the call tracking space.

In terms of our culture and what we value, we try not to take ourselves seriously and have fun building CallScaler. We understand that we all have lives outside of work, and we want to ensure there is a good work-life balance. However, that also comes with fully trusting each other, communicating well, delivering what we say, and taking full ownership of projects.

We really need this hire to bring high-level ideas and take full ownership over the tech side of the business.

In addition, we want to make sure our personalities and work styles mesh and compliment each other. That will be just as important as the technical skills you bring to the table. After all, we will be talking and working with each other every day. We’re looking for good people who care deeply about the work they produce.

Come help with projects like

• Conceiving, designing, building, and launching new user-facing features
• Improving our client reporting and white label features
• Creating a client & affiliate billing suite to help our customers send & receive payments using Stripe.
• Working with SignalWire API, WebSockets, and WebRTC to improve our calling features
• Building user-facing analytics features that provide actionable insights
• Building new integrations with other SaaS platforms like Google’s G Suite, Zapier, and CRM platforms

Perks and what we can offer

• Employee stock options & equity options are available
• You would be employee #1 at a fast-growing startup
• 10 full vacation days per calendar year.
• Paid time off on all major national holidays (based on countries calendar)
• Work directly with CallScaler founder
• Exposure to other parts of the business and ability to shape the direction of a fast-growing company.
• Exposure to working inside a company that is in the TinySeed accelerator
