Change The Global Photo and Video Industry
We are on a mission to make it easy to find, hire and collaborate with the best photographers and videographers on the planet. With thousands of professionals in our community who have delivered over 80,000 on-location shoots, we have just scratched the surface of this $20B market. We are looking for extraordinary people to join our team. Think you’ve got what it takes to add some zeros to those numbers?

We're photographers and filmmakers too. Working at SmartShoot isn't just a job for many of us, it's an opportunity to marry personal passions and work. We geek out over the latest gear, get up before sunrise to get that shot, and are driven to create the best product we can, because we're part of the community.
Focus
We prioritize well, actively seek better solutions, know how to say “no” and focus on what moves the needle most. Keep your eye on the prize and have some fun while doing it.
Get stuff done
We deliver high-impact projects fast and aim to ship code even faster. Perfect out of the gates is a unicorn that we’re not chasing. Make an 80% solution happen now to enable rapid iteration and a path to perfection.
No Egos
Big egos and office politics are for Hollywood and those other startups. We are team players who put the organization above ourselves by genuinely listening to our peers and assuming good intentions. No project is too big or too little for any of us. That’s why our CEO is responsible doing the dishes.
Care
Our practices and processes are not set in stone, far from it. We expect people in every corner of our company to ask questions, take risks, find a better way and go the extra mile.
Software Engineer
Finding the right professional filmmaker or photographer is a hard problem. In the US, the annual market is $15B, with the biggest player owning less than 1%. SmartShoot seeks to solve this problem by finding the right, high-quality professional for brands and consumers that need personalized work. In 2013, our creative community earned over $4M on our platform, shooting in every state in the US and in many cities around the world. Having made a profit last year, and with the support of some of Silicon Valley’s best investors and advisors, we want to take these great customers and build to scale.
We’re looking for self-motivated individuals to join our small engineering team as we grow our business. You’ll be a key member of a small, flat team of smart engineers architecting and building out the SmartShoot platform for SEO, lead gen and management; contract, billing, and payment systems; digital asset review and management; and partner integration. You will have a large impact on the future systems we build and room to grow with us as we scale. The role is hands on coding in a collaborative environment where you are expected to bring your A game to the table and contribute to the architectural decisions and implementation recommendations. We are building new features in a fresh Python stack as we migrate away from our PHP origins. We are looking for talent that has a strong computer science background, agnostic about languages and who is excited about building a web application that will be a next-generation internet landmark.
