Your role
We need startup-minded engineers, generalists who can take ownership of at least a few domains, all of which are on the CTO's shoulders right now. Depending on your strengths and interests and the needs of the business, it could be new feature development, apis, architecture, database management and performance optimizations, jobs and scheduling, security and threat management, integrating with new data partners, analytics, Android and iOS development, automated testing and CI. You name it. You'd be the right hand to the CTO, and in exchange for your initiative and scrappiness, you'll learn what it takes to run a startup from the ground up, and how to balance good architecture code with speed and efficiency.
Why Honeydue?
We've built the Honeydue app for couples to manage their money together, in a way that isn't possible with the big incumbents like Mint and Personal Capital. Couples are loving the app (4.5 rating in the App Store), and we like to think we're making a big difference in their lives - one couple says we literally SAVED their marriage :)
We've gotten pretty far with just 2 founders. Anyone who joins us this early on will get a great view of what it takes to start and run a startup from the ground up, with a clean tech stack that is steadily growing. Learn how to take smart shortcuts, and how to balance the tradeoffs between good architecture, fast deployment, and bringing in revenue
Improve upon an app that is making a difference: Couples love using our app. Most Americans are financially uneducated, and we're doing our best to get couples on the right track with tracking their spending, budgeting, communicating, and trusting each other to meet their financial goals. We get emails and tweets daily from users who can't live without our app, and it gives us a warm fuzzy feeling that we're making a difference for so many struggling to get a hold of their finances.
We're making money! Its been a great year for us, and we're profitable. Besides making money off of app subscriptions and affiliate marketing, we've started to license our technology platform and have discovered it has a wide range of uses to the big players in Fintech. Without raising too much money from outside investors, we've been able to stay undiluted and are making enough money to expand operations and engineering on profit alone. We hope to have a small healthy team of 7-10 by end of year.
Apple loves us: They've featured us 5 times in the last year as "Apps We Love" and "App of the Day". This has driven the majority of our growth, so we haven't had the need to acquire users through paid marketing, though we still will in the future as we get more ambitious. Product Hunt loves us: We currently have 1100+ upvotes, which is the most of any in the finance category.
