Authorea is building GitHub + Google Docs for researchers. We were spun out of CERN by a group of astrophysicists who were frustrated with the cumbersome process of collaborating on scientific research. Our team is small, but our tool is already being used at all 100 of the top 100 (Leiden Ranking) research universities. We also just closed a substantial funding round with brand-name VCs.
* (SENIOR) FRONT END ENGINEER - Authorea has a robust backend but it did not receive all the love it deserves on the front end. We're looking for an engineer with strong front end skills who will take our product to the next level. Needs to have: JS/CSS/React/Rails and obsession over product and pixel perfection. Nice to have: previous experience working with editors.
Authorea is for researchers to write and collaborate online. Multiple users can write across formats in the same document (including LaTeX, markdown, rich text) and you can push a button to export to different file formats, journal styles, or publish to the web.
