Developer @ InstaScribe

e-books are increasingly popular but tools to create them lag behind. At InstaScribe, we are building tools for independent authors and small presses to help them create beautiful e-books for multiple devices with minimal effort.

We are looking for a full stack developer to join our current development team of three. We are open to part time and freelancing arrangements.

The Technical Stuff

We hack in Python - Django/Flask, celery, Fabric. Vagrant for testing/staging environments. On the frontend, we have Backbone/Marionette.js, Twitter Bootstrap & Aloha Editor.

We do not practice TDD but believe in testing and want to do more of it.  We have a ~2.5 click deployment. ;-)

Our Strengths

• We have a history of shipping code that solves real problems and is used by paying customers. See pothi.com
• We have a good understanding of the publishing domain.
• First iteration of our product is already launched in open beta.
• We are bootstrapped.

What can you expect

• A comfortable working environment and reasonable people principle. Our leave policy is “let me know in advance”.
• We use and support open source. Apart from contributing back to things we use, we would also like to open-source parts of our own code base.
• We would pay you the best we can as per your abilities.

We are based in the Indiranagar area of Bangalore, very near to the Metro station.
