### Lighthouse | https://getlighthouse.com | Designer / Front End Engineer | San Francisco, CA | Full Time | ONSITE
Employees quit managers, not companies. If you've ever worked at a dysfunctional, hyper-growth startup, or a big company wrecked by politics, you've experienced how bad management can make work miserable. It’s crazy managers aren’t given more help. We're changing that by helping with the fundamentals of good management through software.
We're a 500 Startups alum, with a growing product with hundreds of paying customers, and want to bring more great design and experience to our product.
### You:
If you're excited to build an amazing product leading the process from design through implementation, this is the perfect role for you (with the big equity to match). You’ll have the chance to bring all your skills together as part of a team that’s customer driven and excited to make more people love their jobs. It's a mission you can feel great about working on every day.
You’re an awesome fit for this role if you...
-> Take great pride in your work and obsess over getting the details right.
-> Always look for places to simplify, whether that’s removing a button, or making 30 lines of code work with 5.
-> You love using funnels & analytics, as well as talking to customers, to ensure what you design & build is best for customers.
### Stack currently includes: Rails, Capistrano, haml/scss, bootstrap, jQuery, Postgres, Stripe, Google APIs
