London, UK

FULLTIME or INTERN

REMOTE or onsite in our London offices, or some hybrid arrangement.

We are building CopyCopy (http://www.copycopy.cc/) - a cross-platform tool that makes it simple to transfer anything between phones and desktop computers.

Join us on our exciting journey, where every day breeds new ideas and more possibilities. We are young, but headed by experienced engineers and looking for fast-learning, productive coders ready to take on the challenge of building a scalable, multi-platform consumer service.

Our Git repositories, code review and Project Management tools are geared towards remote working and we are open to flexible working conditions. We urgently need full-timers and interns (paid).

You should be familiar with one or more of:

• Java (for Android, BackberryOS, and in our homegrown lightweight Java server and its GWT frontend)

• C++ (for Win32, Qt, Android NDK and Objective-C++)

• Python (occasionally) to string bits together

• Objective-C (iPhone and Mac)

• JavaScript (web frontend work and browser extensions)

• Redis

Equity on top of salary for the right candidate.

We are happy to consider remote workers who are located in timezones +/-3 hours from London or you can work in our new North West London offices. Apply now to find out about our "secret sauce" that will make CopyCopy the simplest way of transferring anything between devices.

Just send your CV to jobs@copycopy.cc now and we'll be happy to chat!



I'm not looking at the moment, but just wanted to say kudos for your approach to remote work!

I'm currently living mostly in rural France (with a month or two per year in Kuala Lumpur), working full time with a Cambridge-based startup that's even more accommodating of remote workers (and that's the only way I could possibly do this) -- many of us on the team travel & keep working, as well, which at one point resulted in us having one dev in GMT-8, one in GMT-5, one in GMT, and one in GMT+8 (!).

There are some things that are more difficult with remote dev, mostly communication-related -- though if we all have good internet connectivity, we get by quite well -- but I've become fond of the hidden bonuses, like "relay" programming -- basically, pair programming where you only overlap for one part of the task, and the person who started it (in an earlier time zone) isn't the same one who finishes it. It's always easy to do maintenance, deployments, etc. at "odd" hours -- you just pick the person in a time zone where the hour isn't so odd. And generally our communication is good enough (and we share tasks enough) that no one is ever stuck sitting around waiting for X to wake up and come online.

So best of luck to you, and I hope more startups will follow your lead!


Being in rural France myself, I am interested in such open minded companies. Would you mind telling me who it is ? (if there are open positions).


Patients Know Best (patientsknowbest.com) -- though we're not hiring aggressively at the moment (which is why we don't have an entry on this page otherwise...), I imagine it can't hurt to keep in touch if our mission looks interesting.

Our webapp is currently old-school enterprise Java, partly because we're building atop a few major bits of OSS that are Java/JEE, but we're not opposed to becoming more polyglot as we expand.
