Hired our first full-time engineer!

Big day for Jon Buda, myself, and our Transistor journey:

We've hired our first full-time engineer, Jason Pearl! 🎉

https://transistor.fm/jason/

This brings the Transistor team to a total of 4 full-time people: @mijustin, @jonbuda, @helenryles, and Jason.

We believe that a small team can produce incredible software (in our case, podcast hosting & analytics), and provide the best customer experience in our industry.

    That's awesome, congrats!

    Did you wait for a particular financial milestone to make this happen, or was it more a "Okay, we need someone to help us now"?

      No particular financial milestone but we did look over our finances to make sure we could handle it. Mostly, we just have a few bigger features that I couldn't get to quick enough. Not mention allowing some vacation time for Justin and I without having to worry that nobody is available to cover and catastrophes that might happen!

    Great news Justin!

    What awesomeness can we expect on the Transistor roadmap?

      Some really cool stuff in private podcasts + payments.

      We're also re-considering adding dynamic audio content to our roadmap. 👍
