42 (YC W14) is hiring a full stack engineer

Hello from 42 (https://42technologies.com)!

Looking for an engineer/computer scientist/mathematician/etc to help implement our next gen retail analytics platform.

We essentially take legacy retail infrastructure and convert to an API. We then consume this api through a sweet, angular-based dashboard. We make it easy for anyone in the retail organization, from executives to store managers, to make informed decisions based on data. Right now, we're focusing on high-end fashion retailers, and we've made a name for ourselves in the space. Now, we must build up our engineering team to cope with demand.

The ideal candidate would have no problem writing significant chunks of infrastructure. You are obsessed with clean code and API design. You also have an interest in normalizing tons of dirty data. This is a position for engineer #1, and as such, you will have lots of responsibilities and tremendous impact of the direction of the company.

Experience with retail is not required.

Some projects you'll be working on:

  - User management system (will be open sourced if possible)
  - Personalized recommendations
  - Goal tracking
  - Customer segmentation
  - A/B testing for retailers

Our stack is composed of:

  - AngularJS, CoffeeScript, Grunt, Jade
  - Microservice architecture
  - Mostly Node + CoffeeScript
  - Postgres, LevelDB, some Redis.
  - Gentoo / CoreOS / Docker

Experience in any of these is not a requirement.

What we can offer:

  - Competitive salary & equity
  - Define our culture and technology direction
  - Relocation packages
  - Whatever gear you need
  - A sweet office in SOMA, with snacks!
  - Insight on how large retail companies operate
