StoryWorth (https://www.storyworth.com) FULLTIME, SF, YC-funded

I'm building the core team at StoryWorth and hiring for three roles:

* Marketing and Partnerships lead. I’m looking for someone who can think creatively about our customer acquisition strategy then be highly analytical about executing on it.

* iOS Engineer. You’ll be responsible for building our mobile app from scratch, working closely with me on the design and with our web engineer on the backend. Prior experience building an iOS app is required.

* Full-stack Web Engineer. You’ll be taking over the core engineering of the site from me, scaling it as we grow and implementing major new features. You need to be comfortable with Python, HTML and CSS. Bonus points if you have an interest in design.

StoryWorth makes it easy for people to privately record their family stories. Each week, we email our customers a question about their life, for example “What do you remember about your grandmother?” or “Tell me about the day you got engaged”. All they have to do is reply with a story, either by email or by phone. We save their stories and share them privately with their family.

We have a launched product with paying customers across the country who love our service. This is an opportunity to be part of the core team that is going to help every family in the world record their story for generations to come.

You're a good fit for these roles if you crave a ton of responsibility on a small team. If you're the kind of person who learns by doing, you'll be learning faster than ever before. All roles require 3-5 years of experience.

If you're interested, I'd be happy to tell you more. Email your resume to nick@storyworth.com, I can't wait to hear from you!

Alphalend - Hiring Software Engineers - London, UK

http://www.alphalend.com/

We're taking the opportunity to build a 21st century financial institution, from scratch. After retail (Amazon) and media (Google), finance is the last great intermediating industry, and the one best suited to being conquered by a tech company.

Here at Alphalend we're doing just that. Things have been moving fast: founded in January, seed funded by May, operations up and running by June, we're now in urgent need of the best and brightest programmers to turn our vision into reality. We've set up a fully-functioning lending platform and are working on a series of game-changing projects, for which we need talent.

Our first product: the world's fastest P2P lending platform, powered by real-time automated credit decisions and risk pricing.

We're running LAMP (Symfony2) + jQuery, but as we branch out, we'll be looking to use the best technology for the task.

You'll be joining a recently-funded, small team as developer #2 and employee #6, with plenty of opportunity to shape the direction of the company and culture.

If you're interested, please drop us a line at contact@alphalend.com

Thread.com (YC S12) - Software engineer who loves product (Python/Django) London, England. https://www.thread.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.

Want to learn more? Check out https://www.thread.com/jobs and you can see some of our code at http://dev.thread.com/

Thanks!

Robinhood started with a simple idea: using technology, we can re-think the way financial services operate.

Our team members have a diverse set of academic and industry experiences from Stanford, MIT, Caltech, Pixar, Oracle, ETrade, Bungie and Facebook.

* iOS Engineer - We’re looking for an experienced iOS engineer to help build the Robinhood iOS app, for both iPhone and iPad. This is truly a next-generation trading app that takes advantage of all the newest iOS 7 and 8 features, while featuring a highly custom UI.

* Web Engineer - We are seeking an experienced frontend web engineer to help build the Robinhood web app, for both desktop and mobile. The product features real-time, live-updating data and context-dependent interfaces, so you’ll be building a very rich client-side web application.

* Backend Engineer - Robinhood is looking for an experienced backend engineer to help build our brokerage web API. This includes systems such as market data, trading, accounting, authentication, and security. An ideal candidate would have previous experience designing RESTful APIs and the backend systems that implement them.

* Release Engineer - Robinhood is looking for an experienced release engineer to develop systems and processes to deploy and monitor our brokerage software. Technologies that we use include AWS, SaltStack, Python, Django, Redis, and PostgreSQL. An ideal candidate would have several years of experience with most or all of these technologies at a world-class engineering organization.

Shortcut (www.shortcutapp.com) London, San Francisco - Ruby / Android / iOS

Hi I'm Buf, one of the founders at Shortcut. Shortcut is all about making live event concessions better. $50B goes through concessions every year. No one knows who spends this money. We want to give this data to the venue while at the same time make life easier for the attendee.

Shortcut is founded by early employees of Eventbrite and Uber. We allow attendees at live events to order food/drink/merchandise from their phone. They can then have it delivered to them or pick it up via a fast lane.

We have just completed the Techstars program and raised a seed round (which is not public until late September).

This is mainly a Rails job, but there would be portions of Android / iOS once in a while.

Tasks:

  * Lead by example – by writing good code, talking about good code, and then drinking beers with the team to celebrate all the good code everyone wrote
  * Design and development of new product features and enhancements
  * Know what technologies are out there in case you need to use them
  * Periodically teach your co-workers all the great stuff you learned via tech talks, brown bags, blogs or open source
Requirements:

  * You ideally have Ruby on Rails experience with at least working knowledge of Android.
  * You want to work in a startup (a.k.a. a place that works hard and plays hard)
  * You feel comforted when you write a good unit test
  * You must have a Bachelor’s knowledge level of computer science via education or experience
  * You know when to use Postgres/Mysql vs Mongodb/Redis
  * You understand the full stack (servers, RoR, javascript/css/html)

* Embedded software engineers: We're hiring for "big embedded" (C++, Linux, and big cpus) and "small embedded" (C, bare-metal, small cpus). If you have good OO skills (C++, Java, etc.) but no "embedded" background that's okay too - shoot me an email and we'll chat.

* Software engineers for vision, navigation, and mapping

* Test engineers

* Mechanical engineers

Weft - http://weft.io - Cambridge/Boston, MA (office is in central sq.)

   ===========================
   ====== What we do =========
   ===========================
We're the single source of truth in logistics data -- we track every boat on the water, every plane in the sky, and every truck on the ground so that we can know everything that's going on in the logistics world. We do a lot of analysis and optimization, too.

We’re working in the largest, least sexy, most invisible industry in the world — 90% of everything has been on a ship at one point in time.

The problem -> To try to decrease costs, carries have been increasing the size of container ships. The only problem there is that as container ships get larger, the variability in the global supply chain goes up (e.g. a large ship being late causes a headache to more people than a small one).

How we fix it -> We track every ship on the water and run a bunch of analysis on our data sets so that we can help our customers smooth out the rough edges. (One company we're working with spends 6.5 mil every month on “late fees” because of these rough edges).

   ===========================
   ===== How we do it ========
   ===========================
Web/data stack -> clojure + postgres/cassandra/redis/rabbit + ruby on rails + hadoop/EMR (we’re a SOA shop)

Mobile -> iOS, android in the near term

Algorithms -> a dizzying mixture of oldschool and newschool techniques ;-)

   ===========================
   ====== And the rest =======
   ===========================
We've got some very interesting partners and customers (ranging from CPG companies and telcos to enterprise software providers to regional and international logistics companies). We also have some top tier investors (a16z, atlas)!

Looking for help on frontend and data science sides! (also looking for experimentalists for fun hedge fund stuff)

If this sounds interesting, please shoot me an email at marc@weft.io!

Statisticians & Data Scientists to Focus on the Energy Industry:

We have branched out behind our core data mining competititons, to build end-to-end solutions on an industry by industry basis. Our first industry is energy, where we're building solutions that can transform the world's largest industry. In the energy sector, we've started with two basic solutions:

   * using detailed geological data to pick the best place to lease and drill for oil & gas; 
   * using detailed data on drilling practices to help operators produce efficiently.
The machine learning and statistical challenges in energy have some interesting properties:

   * geospatial data
   * mix of deep science and machine learning
   * sample sizes are small and samples are highly correlated
   * we care about explainability and insights
Addressing these challenges requires layers upon layers of statistical machine learning models We want to fully capture the uncertainties in our modeling at each layer, not just the point estimates.
