Podcasting is the fastest growing medium in the world. At the end of 2018, it was a $350m industry that had doubled every year since 2018. We’re two months into 2019, and the size of the space has already doubled again to $700m. Podcasting is a tidal wave, and it’s only just emerging.

Glow is tackling the biggest problem in podcasting by equipping creators with the tools they need to easily monetize and grow their audiences. We’ve already created the simplest solution for podcasters who want to monetize their audiences directly. Next, we’re making that product even more robust and versatile for podcasters and moving on to creating other tools that make it easy for podcasters to monetize, analyze, and grow their audiences. For the first time ever, podcasters will have the tools and insight necessary to be customer-centric and create things that they know their biggest fans love. Our north star is helping creators build businesses around their crafts, empowering a generation of entrepreneurs whose superpower is the ability to create content people love, find valuable, and rely on. We’re building something the industry has never seen before, and early results say that what we’re doing is working.

We’re looking for the first two full stack software engineers to join our team and report directly to our Head of Product. You’ll have the opportunity to build Glow almost entirely from the ground up and have responsibility for helping shape and execute on our product roadmap over the next year. You’ll work hand-in-hand with product, marketing, and design to build a product that podcasters love, including building out the UI, developing the database that will be one of the biggest in podcasting, and writing and maintaining API integrations with CRMs, payment processors, and other podcasting companies.

About you:

You have a track record as a full-stack developer and can showcase your past experience developing tools for creators, marketplaces, or both. You’ll be the first member of a small team of engineers that owns the experience for both listeners and creators. That means partnering with our head of product to create seamless checkout experiences for listeners and amazing tools that help podcasters monetize, analyze, and grow their audiences. You work independently and love shipping product on a regular basis. We’re creating something that doesn’t exist in the world yet, so you won’t just be adding value through your code, but to your insights on the needs of our customer and the business--and your ability to translate these insights into best-in-class tech solutions that make creators say, “wow.”

And, you love podcasts.
