We Saved You a Seat

Remember when you made that sweet website while sipping bourbon and piloting an inflatable shark? No? That's because it didn't happen yet. But it could! Check out our available positions.
Careers

We're a small startup with big ambitions: to become the place to connect with friends around the past. Whereas the current batch of social services focus on real-time, Timehop focuses on anniversaries and bringing meaning and relevancy to old content

Content gains value with time. Photographs become *more* meaningful and valuable with the passing of time. The average person now has digital photos and a social media history going back many years -- a comprehensive archive of their lives. People love reminiscing -- but that hasn't transferred over to a digital form. That's where we come in.

We have a track record of building awesome products, backing from all the right investors, and a giant opportunity in front of us: a chance to define an entirely new product category. So far people love us. As a member of our small team, you'll have the opportunity to put your fingerprints all over the product and be a key part in how it grows and evolves.

We think years ahead, yet live in the past. Our office is a strange mix of futuristic technology and historic nintendo games (NHL '94 anyone?) with an air of excitement and humor. We're a tight knit team that's easy to get along with. We look forward to each day because we love what we do and we have serious fun doing it. You will too. 

We do it all from the best city in the world, New York City. We have a beautiful office located in Manhattan's Flatiron District.

Oh, also expect memes. Lots of them.

Lead Product Designer - April 2013

Design is the backbone of our company. We're looking for someone to work alongside our awesome designer Rachel -- but with a focus on the higher level product design issues. 

Skills: You're part designer, part information architect, and part product manager. You have mobile design experience and a deep grasp of interaction design. You will define the product, the experience, and the interaction patterns and will help with messaging, running user testing sessions, and maybe even analytics. 

Personality: You're a clear and structured thinker who works best with a crazy amount of control and responsibility. You're a strong leader who feels comfortable leading team brainstorming sessions and gathering chaos into actionable next steps. You confidently present design decisions and explain the trade-offs and concessions in those decisions. You make us feel like we're in good hands.
