Embryo Options | Senior Software Engineer, Junior Software Engineer | Boston, MA | ONSITE | Salary: 70k-140k | NO VISA

Embryo Options is helping fertility clinics manage their cryopreserved biological tissue, so they can focus on their patients. We're a profitable, bootstrapped startup, and we're looking to build-out our team as we ride the wave of the quickly-growing IVF market.

We're currently 2 full time engineers, so you'll have the opportunity to immediately make an impact and you'll have ownership of projects that directly impact our clinics and patients.

We currently use a mix of old and new technologies built on JavaScript, C#/.NET, SQL Server and deployed on AWS, and we're working on some new applications with .NET Core API and VueJS.

If you're a product-focused engineer, looking to join a fast-moving team in a real, growing business then we'd love to hear from you!

You can email me, Mike Gerbush (CTO), directly at [email protected].

Great, that's exactly what I suspected, but nice to hear from someone who's been through it already. Thanks, again, and good luck with your new venture.

This is obviously a personal question, but as someone looking to transition from an engineer to more of a technical business leader, what would you consider the most direct and fulfilling path? It sounds like the ultimate goal is becoming a CEO/entrepreneur, but do you think the"increasingly unfulfilling" years as a CTO are necessary/unavoidable? How do you continue to get the sensation of building things, as you become further removed from the actual execution?

Thanks for your comments here, as an engineer considering an MBA and general career trajectory, this has been really helpful.

I use this app literally every day, it was absolutely worth the $6 or whatever I paid for it at the time. It's a shame it didn't work out for you financially, but I think this is still a great app.

It really just makes sharing webpages and files totally seamless, but it's not as disruptive as texting, as noisy as facebook or twitter, and it doesn't flood your email inbox. Also, I know exactly who is getting what, it all lives in my Dropbox account, and the file format is totally transparent so I am able to do whatever I want with my data.

I am excited to take a look at the code. A friend and I were actually already working on a simple mobile app because we use this so often--now with access to the code things should go a lot faster.
