The way we're working isn't working.
You've been to this rodeo before. Built something. Been inside one (or more) of the startups people talk about. But doing it all again—in the same way with the same people—just isn’t going to cut it this time. That’s why you’re here. You’re looking for something different. You’re looking for a chance to do the best work of your life. We're building Murmur to give that chance to millions. Our mission is to change how the world works by enabling the practice of making, keeping, and sharing better working agreements.
As a full stack developer, you'll join our growing team of four as our second engineer, charged with getting the product into the hands of real users (we have many companies waiting) in Q1 of 2021.
