About Loonycorn: Loonycorn is a firm that specializes in technical and financial content and data analysis. Founded in November 2015, Loonycorn is an export-oriented company that works closely with international clients to deliver research and content on cutting-edge topics in technology, data, and business. Both our co-founders are ex-Google, Stanford-educated.
About the Role: We are looking for folks to make technical content similar to what you'd find at the links below: https://www.pluralsight.com/searchq=janani+ravi https://www.pluralsight.com/searchq=vitthal+srinivasan https://www.udemy.com/u/janani-ravi-2/ This involves:
learning a new technology from scratch
building realistic, pretty complicated programs in that technology
creating clear, creative slides or animations explaining the concepts behind that technology
What is important to us: We are hiring for traits, not skills, so we are perfectly fine with folks who have unconventional backgrounds.
Grit - Perseverance in working on hard problems. Technical video-making is difficult and detail-oriented (that's why it is a highly profitable business)
Craftsmanship - Our video-making is quite artisanal - lots of hard work and small details. There are many excellent roles where doing smart 80-20 trade-offs is the way to succeed - this is not one of them.
Clarity - Talking and thinking in direct, clear ways is super-important in what we do. Folks who use a lot of jargon or cliches, or who over-complicate technical problems will not enjoy the work.
Creativity - Analogies, technical metaphors and other artistic elements are an important part of what we do.
