Clickpass hiring a salaried “co-founder” to build Clickpass 2
Do you have the ability to architect and build a new web service from scratch? Would you like to be the lead architect in a small, tight team building an identity hub for the next generation of pluggable web applications?
Clickpass is hiring a lead developer and architect to help design and implement our next phase of authentication services. The role will offer you the chance to work under the Clickpass brand but within the very pleasant offices of the company who recently acquired us, SynthaSite.
What you will be doing
You will be working in a small team and responsible for all of the software development for the service. Your role will be to help architect how the service should work and then to implement the code across the full stack of technology from server through to browser.
Sys-admin support is already in place and you will have access to any additional support you require including design and UX. You will be liaising directly with the clients this service plugs into.
Who we are
Clickpass is creating a new, second-generation identity-hub service to allow websites such as SynthaSite to seamlessly plug in embeddable widgets and services that (currently) require a separate user account. This is of particular relevance to our acquirers, SynthaSite but has has also been requested by several other well known web brands.
The role represents a very unusual opportunity to have the impact and autonomy of a startup founder but with the security and salary associated with a very well funded, venture-backed company.

- A seasoned developer with the ability to plan and work systematically through software challenges
- Someone who is as driven to pin down the small details as the larger architecture
- Motivated by autonomy and responsibility
- Effective and productive
- Systematic and professional in your approach to project management
- Capable of driving a project and defending your logic but willing to flex in response to feedback from clients and your team
- Stimulated by the principles of core web services such as GNIP or Mashery
Required skills
- Extensive Ruby on Rails / MySQL experience
- Agile development methodology
- Strong Javascript
- Strong HTML/CSS/web-standards

Bonus skills

- Familiarity with multiple server technologies (PHP/JSP/ColdFusion)
- Experience developing or maintaining authentication systems for multiple large websites
- Experience with integrating payment gateways (e.g. Authorize.net or Paypal)
Responsibilities
- Working directly with partners and clients to customise service to their needs
- Development of reporting interfaces and management tools for website owners
