Gumroad is 100% remote and async. We focus on shipping instead of meeting. We have product-market fit: over $13M in creator earnings per month. We’re also profitable.
You can read more about the way we work here, or watch our most recent public board meeting.
TLDR or watch: Everyone works hourly–between 15 and 35 hours a week–and tracks their time with our new product, Flexile. There are no meetings, besides the board meeting. And one annual retreat a year. Besides cash there is also a 100% equity bonus–upon exercise, this entitles you to a portion of annual dividends.
We issued our first $1M dividend in July, and will issue 60% of net income starting in Jan 2024–aiming for $6M a year based on $10M in net income
Many people have worked at Gumroad for several years; contract doesn’t mean short!
Improve Gumroad by shipping product features, fixing bugs, and removing technical debt. Our stack is primarly Ruby on Rails, React, and Typescript. We also have legacy code in JavaScript and Flight. You should have familiarity with improving a high-quality app in production.
Base of $125/hr. Assuming 44 weeks a year, 35 hours a week: $192,500
