What is Sprinto?
Sprinto is an early-stage SaaS startup, working in the information security "compliance" space. This is a flourishing area but has not seen any innovation in the last couple of decades. Thanks to some macro-changes, we think the space is ripe for a startup to become a market leader. Our job as founders and founding engineers is to ensure that Sprinto has a shot at this opportunity.
Why work with us?
We wrote most of the early code at Recruiterbox and remained among the top 5 committers even when the company ran at scale. We program because we love to, and understand the importance of good programming practices. At Recruiterbox, we adopted practices like writing unit tests, integration tests, CI, CD very early in our journey.
We believe good engineering breeds good results - rapid development, low tech debt, easy maintainability, etc. Our current choice of tech stack can be an interesting point of conversation when we meet.
Sprinto is well-capitalized by top-notch investors like Elevation, Accel and Blume. While you have all the advantages of working on challenging problems that come with working in a startup, you also don't have the risk of the company running out of money.
You will get to work with seasoned programmers who care about their craft and engineering culture
Last but not the least, stock options. While all early-stage startups offer stock options, not all of them are the same. At Sprinto, we aren't satisfied with being just a large/successful company. We want to be the category leader. On a good outcome, your stint with Sprinto will leave you with no need to work for money and you only continue to work for passion.
What are we looking for?
You are a hands-on programmer and have professionally programmed for at least 2 years, preferably building web applications.
You have good problem-solving and communication skills, both spoken and written.
You are a quick learner and prefer picking up tools & languages as needed for solving the problem at hand in the best way possible
It helps if you've lived with the consequences of bad programming choices. You have an eye for spotting premature over-engineering that needlessly delays projects, but also notice when something that sounds fast/easy/tempting today will cost us severely in a few months.
You understand that, ultimately, Code is a means of solving the business/customer problems, and thrive in making the trade-offs that solve such problems efficiently.
