(New York, New York)

We're starting a local community revolution! Our goal is a "Meetup Everywhere about Most Everything", and we're on our way. We help people "use the internet to get off the internet" because Meetups change lives and can change the world.

We are profitable, growing, and committed to building an all-star, all-NYC company. We are a company that values doers over talkers and mentors over managers. We are a company where people who take risks and win are rewarded and grow.

Our team is ambitious and passionate; the environment is relaxed and fun. We get shit done that makes a difference. We are focused on quick, quality completion of projects and excited by what we do. We are looking for someone who is smart, collaborative, creative, and can get things done to a high quality and on tight deadlines.

Meetup is looking to add smart, creative, and experienced front-end coders to our User Interface Engineering team. These are mid- to senior-level positions on a collaborative, supportive, relaxed and motivated technical team. You'll work with a smart, dedicated engineering team to build the next generation of the site.

• Experience with a version control system (Git a plus)
• A strong attention to detail and a feeling of pride and ownership over the quality of our product
