About the Company
Soshowise is a marketplace for live expert advice. Soshowise is like Howcast, except all the video authors are experts in a topic and they can charge consumers for live video consultations. Here is a explainer video on our concept.

Since the early days of the concept development, the company has taken significant steps forward. Soshowise was founded and incubated inside the Entrepreneurial Program at CSUF. Back in 2011, Soshowise won some startup cash and an award from PayPal for the best integration of their API at the event HapiHack, a hackathon in SF. Soshowise has continued to accumulate thousands of followers on Twitter®, and Facebook®. Soshowise has built a functional prototype to show Proof of Concept, and is currently in development for the production version. Soshowise was incorporated in 2012 and raised seed funding from local investors. Soshowise has accumulated a strong team of advisers with existing or previous working relationships at PayPal, eBay, Google, Intuit, Factual, and Auqeo. We work closely with our adviser from PayPal/eBay who has been an instrumental and strategic asset to our company. Soshowise is already working with such great experts as the Central Valley Business Incubator (CVBI), Ashley Galvan (Actress and Dance coach from Glee and So You Think Can Dance), and Glen Roberts (Director at the US Department of Commerce).
Job Description:
We are looking for a strong Drupal developer who has experience building robust applications. Experience working with HTML/CSS/javascript/jQuery. Someone who has experience dealing with e-commerce and/or live video. Ability to write clean, documented, and reusable code. We work in GitHub, so someone with experience in that. Someone with iOs experience would be nice, but not necessary. We pretty much need someone who can help us finish building our bad ass application.
We currently have a BETA site up that is about 75% functional. We had a professional team out of NC, called Design Hammer build the site. We have recently used most of our seed funding up, and we are saving the remaining for after our launch. Instead of paying a team, we would like to bring on a Drupal developer for equity. We are based out Fresno CA, which is about a 3 hours south of SF. We are looking for someone who is excited about being part of a start up, and believes in the Soshowise vision.
Telecommuting is fine; it would be nice to find someone in California who is able to meet once a month if needed, but anywhere in the US works. This position will be solely for equity and an opportunity for someone to become a partner of an exciting growing startup. The amount of equity and cliff time is negotiable. We understand since this position is for equity you need to keep your normal job, so this is for a part-time position that will require about 10-20 hours a week.
Desired Technical Skills & Experience:
- Programming language(s): Drupal - Additional Skill(s): HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript
-At least 2- 3 years of Drupal experience.
-Ability to write clean, documented, and reusable code

- Finish building the application
- Work with the QA and Customer Support teams to triage and fix bugs with rapid turnaround
- Contribute ideas for making the application better and easier to use your qualifications:
