Dogster, Inc. cleared a new hurdle this month when we hired our very first dedicated full-time Software Engineer. After 2.5 years of bootstrapping and two of our founders coding almost everything on the site, our output will be singificantly increased.

Leef comes to us after six years building web software for Visa International and we couldn’t be happier. He’s already developed a story sharing extention for our Diary features and he is redesigning our store as I type. Pretty good for someone that hadn’t worked in PHP previously. We’ve learned that passion for the job is ten times more important than having laundry lists on a resume, even though Leef has a pretty sweet laundry list.

You can check out his dad’s dog Lucky. And you can get to know Leef better by checking out his blog.

If being a passionate coder for passionate users is what you’re looking for, we still have one Software Engineer position open.
