[ 4.4 ms ] story [ 341 ms ] threadWe're building the simplest way for all generations in a family to share photos, videos and updates in absolute privacy. We have an early stage product that's getting amazing reviews; we're funded by excellent investors and are on a mission to bring the world's families closer together with technology that's delightful and easy to use. We're putting all the lessons we learned from our early into a new version of the product. It will be awesome!
We're now looking for a Full-Stack Developer (Python/Django and JS - we use Angular) to work on the core of our app that's available across iOS, Android and the Web. To apply please contact us at jobs@togethera.com. The role is in London, but we can start working together remotely.
Perks include flexible working hours, equity, conference/learning budget and a (very) relaxed holiday policy. More importantly, you'll be joining us almost from the start and have real influence on how the product, culture and company grow. http://www.togethera.com/jobs
We're a startup trying to reinvent retail so men can dress well without being subject to the horrors of the high street or having to trawl through millions of items online. We do this using a combination of powerful algorithms and human stylists.
You'd be joining a small, highly technical team with a ton of startup experience (the founders have started and sold 2 companies before). You'll be one of the first technical hires and get to build and own huge parts of the product and work on the core algorithms. One of our ancillary goals is to build one of the best engineering cultures anywhere, and we'd love you to help us do that. We launched in October and user and revenue numbers are scaling extremely quickly. We're backed by a collection of the top investors from London and Silicon Valley as well as Y Combinator.
We're especially interested in people who are interested in founding their own startup one day. We view working at Thread as a founder bootcamp where you'll learn about all parts of starting and growing a startup.

Thanks!
Every month millions of jobs are left unfilled. This means people look for work longer, companies move slower, and products and services that we all want don't get delivered. Recruiting is a $400 billion per year industry, and there is ample room to make it better. Connectifier is a small but quickly growing venture-backed startup that’s passionate about solving the hiring problem. We build software to streamline the recruiting process and connect talented candidates with the companies looking to hire them. Join us to be an early employee at a fast growing startup!
Our engineering team has a depth of talent from places like Google, Microsoft Research, Berkeley National Lab, Carnegie Mellon, and Stanford. We’re committed to helping each other learn and grow while having a blast, and we’re looking for developers that are smart, ambitious, and get things done. We mostly work in Java, but you’ll get bonus points for server/backend, Scala, HTML, JavaScript, or machine learning experience. You’ll get to design and develop large scale data processing systems, work alongside a talented set of peers, and make an impact beyond what is possible at a large, bureaucratic company.
We offer a highly competitive salary and stock compensation package, including 100% employee coverage for medical, dental, life, and disability insurance. We also provide lunch and a fully-stocked snack bar & coffee station. To decompress, we play table tennis at the office, or volleyball at the beach (walking distance!).
Placing the right people in the right jobs is hard, and since we took on this challenge, we've already helped hundreds of companies, from fledgling startups to the Fortune 100s, find and recruit the best talent. We want to improve people's lives by helping them work somewhere they love. If you want to help us change the world and drive the economy forward, shoot us an email at jobs+hn@connectifier.com

We're building high-accuracy weather forecasts using new sources of data, specifically barometers found in smartphones. We’ve built PressureNet, our open platform for crowdsourcing weather data. Our system currently takes in almost 1M atmospheric pressure measurements per day, and your job is to help grow that to 10M / day and then 100M / day.

You’ll build our apps and SDKs, which means you'll write code to collect sensor data, visualize weather patterns, and innovate on how weather forecasts are delivered.
Compensation: Equity TBD. Salary TBD.
Responsibilities:
- Building and maintaining our Android/iOS apps in collaboration with designers
- Being an active participant in developing the future of the PressureNet platform
Qualifications and Skills:
