Gitsta is hiring a React hacker for a decentralized data platform (Part-time)

Gitsta , Bangalore · agilehead.com · Short-term contract · Programming

Today, users have their data locked up in multiple platforms/silos (such as Facebook, Dropbox, Google Docs etc) - in essence they don't really control their data any longer. Gitsta wants to fix this, and give back users control over their data.

A critical component of this platform is an app store, which contains applications which respect people's privacy and data ownership. We'd like you to help here. 

0. You should have built things for yourself, outside of work. Like a game, or some unix tool, or a webapp no one cares about. We're looking for a hacker who thinks that the world needs a bit of fixing.
1. Strong skills in JS, Html and React
2. Understanding of REST-ful services
3. Exposure to decentralized/federated ecosystems (IPFS/Dat) is a good to have.
4. Profiles on any of GitHub, GitLab, Hacker News, Stack Overflow etc will be nice.

Now, (0), (1) and (2) are mandatory - and the others are flexible. We'll learn a lot together doing this anyway - this whole project is quite the road less travelled. We'll end up wiser maybe.

We wanna hire someone on a Time and Material basis to build our MVP. This should take between 1-2 months. We're not keen on a fixed-cost models because there might be several changes and requests for refactoring (from us) - and that probably won't work for you. We hope to work with you after the MVP on a permanent basis - but that's up to you.

If you're this person, or know someone who'd be interested, please contact me via Secure Scuttlebutt - my id is @d2vneic0a0Y7OoRYvhXf+nCOBIV/lFQXHmOcHNr/3/I=.ed25519.

Just kidding - you can email me.
