Job Descriptions
Chief of Technical Staff
Captricity is seeking a Chief of Technical Staff.
We’re looking for a proven technical leader who can lead a team of engineers to success; someone who can sling code with the best of them but wants broader scope and wants to make an impact — a really big impact.
We combine machine learning, computer vision and crowdsourcing to provide a seamless bridge between the offline and online worlds. You’ll help lead us in building and scaling out our technology, product, and business.
You: ambitious, technical leader, adept at managing both the technology and the people behind it. You’ll work with the company leadership on a regular basis; actually, you are part of the company leadership .
You’ll play a big part in creating and executing the company’s engineering and product roadmaps. Just as important, you’ll help define the engineering culture of the company and help us change the world. How often do you get to do that?
Duties
Here’s most of what you’ll be doing. The following list is not exhaustive. This will not be easy.
- Lead and manage the engineering team on a day to day basis
- Do technical design and evaluation
- Research and evaluate emerging services and technologies
- Influence and guide the technical roadmap
Qualifications
You need not have done this job before, but there should be evidence that you would flourish in the role; we like people who are constantly looking for new challenges.
Musts:
- Be a solid engineer with proven experience
- Have successfully led a group of engineers to ship product
- Understand agile methodologies, their strengths and weaknesses
- Have extensive experience with web services
Bonuses:
- Have run your own failed startup
Compensation
You’ll earn a competitive salary and benefits, as well as equity befitting the responsibility of the position. More than this, though, the biggest thing we can offer is the experience of doing it and the chance to really change the world. If you are thinking about taking this job solely for compensation or equity potential, DO NOT APPLY. You won’t fit in.

Intern member of technical staff
Our interns design, implement and ship features. If you know our technologies (Django/python, JQuery/YUI/js, Postgresql) — great, but it’s not essential, as long as you learn quickly. Come learn with us.
