**About GitDuck**\n\nGitDuck is a code and screen sharing tool for developers. We allow them to create videos linked to their codebase so they can easily explain their code to their teammates.\n\nWe started building GitDuck after working some months remotely and struggled to keep learning from each other as when we were side-by-side in the same office. We are solving that. We are building GitDuck to help developers and teams to easily exchange what they know so they can better learn from each other.\n\n**The Role**\nWe're looking for independent engineers who enjoy building things and are comfortable with significant responsibilities.
