I'm one of the founders of Leanpub (https://leanpub.com), and I'm looking for something new (don't worry, Leanpub is just fine). Leanpub is a well-loved, profitable company that has paid over $8 million in royalties to authors, and I was one of the people who built it from scratch.

At Leanpub I was responsible for the book generation engine, our Markdown parser, devops and infrastructure and the main Rails app. I jumped in on the React side of things when needed. I figured out requirements, talked to customers, did support and wrote documentation.

I have more than a decade of experience in software development with a wide variety of technologies. I'm interested in finding a position where I can have an impact on the company, learn constantly and be a part of a great team. I'm looking for a remote-first or extremely remote-friendly company.
