Introductory paragraph

Think about any big purchase. A home, a car, tickets to an event, room at a hotel.

We have so much information at our fingertips to make that decision - reviews, prices, pictures, accident reports, etc. In construction equipment, whether buying or renting, this information does not exist online.

We founded Gearflow to bring the highly fragmented, old-school industry that is construction equipment rental into the digital economy. In doing so, we are helping end-users of equipment make the best financial decision about their next equipment purchase or rental while supporting the growth of the thousands of suppliers that operate in the space.

Will there be any mid-level Backend Developer roles available in the near future? I’m in the Chicago area(NW suburbs), and I’m looking for new opportunities at the moment.

Company is remote-first, but applicant needs to be local to Chicago for effective collaboration with Founding team.

I don’t think this means what you think it means :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
