Full-time role based in San Francisco

Second Glass is changing the way people taste, talk about and buy wine by pairing mobile technology with in-person events. Our mobile app lets event attendees remember every wine they taste and lists retail locations they can buy it. We build tools for wineries to better connect with young consumers by making wine easier to understand and generally less complicated. We develop all our tech in house, run it at our own events (see Wine Riot) and offer it to third-party wine events.

Our Tech Team programs in:

  • Python with the Django web framework
  • PostgreSQL database
  • HTML, CSS and a ton of JQuery frontend
  • Java for Android
  • Objective C for iOS

As a Web and Mobile Engineer you have your fingers in every pot all of the time. Your ideas are what we build, your code is what our company runs on, you are the reason any of us can remember what the hell we drank last night. You are always in the thick of it. You go to wine events, tasting rooms, and wine shops. You taste wine, talk to people, and test our products so that we are always developing what is needed and not what we think people need.

We’re young, excited and have an unwavering love for Fernet washed down by a cold High Life. In college, we were those nerdy, dorky kids that were always throwing the best parties, but now we’re grown up and we do it for a living.

  • Develop native mobile apps for iPhone and Android
