Why Headout?
 
Headout is evolving the way people discover the world by connecting them with exceptional experiences in their city at the push of a button. We are building a magical platform that gets everyone to head out and have fun in a matter of seconds; no matter where you are and what you want to do. We are combining a delightful product experience, data-driven decisions, sophisticated supply side logistics network and world-class operations to solve a huge basic human problem: how do we have a good time?
We’ve grown 15x in the last year and are backed by some of the finest investors in Silicon Valley who are behind companies like Alibaba, Lyft, Snapchat, Snapdeal, Angellist, Instacart, Product Hunt, Postmates, and others.
We like to solve real world problems in the simplest, most elegant manner possible. We’re seeking Senior Frontend Engineers with the ability and passion for building solutions to people-centered problems that are created at the intersection of human behavior and technology. We love folks who have a sense of humor and know how to have fun.
Dream, build and iterate. That's our mantra. Because good just isn't good enough.
