Rally is a video conferencing platform enabling multiple conversations in parallel. You no longer have to take turns to speak, and can hop in and out of conversations with a click. This is perfect for happy hours, networking, and other social gatherings. We are being used by institutions like MasterCard, Harvard and a multitude of startups across North America.

We are looking for a talented Founding Product Designer. Our ideal candidate is someone who is detail oriented, able to design beautiful interfaces, understand user needs and willing to talk to users, and has worked with fast moving engineering teams. Rally has pivoted to an education technology product called SlaySchool.com. Our users are primarily med students and we are also seeing increasing traction from educators.

You'll be working very closely with the founders and will be a major contributor to the voice and direction of the company. Depending on your skillset a typical week may involve working on a mock up and showing 10 customers your work for feedback. It could be designing a new feature and working with engineering to code or implement the feature. It may mean testing and gathering feedback on your work and understanding how to make changes. Ultimately we are a startup with less than 5 people and we'd want someone who is willing to adapt, learn quickly, and embrace change.

Rally is in some ways more like a realtime multiplayer video game than it is like a typical web application. We are streaming multiple video and audio streams, and must optimize CPU usage and framerate. We are managing real-time state and behavioural rules in a central "game" server, and firing off events to large numbers of clients in real-time. Lots of tough and interesting technical challenges to solve - not just another CRUD app 😀. Come join us in our quest to bring the energy back into online gatherings! 🙌
