Clever (YC S12) - San Francisco - onsite

Right now the market for educational software is a mess. It’s incredibly difficult for developers to get their products into schools, and it’s even harder for them to scale. School districts spend tons of money on learning applications, but they have no way of knowing if students are even using the apps they’re purchasing. Teachers know there’s great software out there, but relatively simple challenges like getting 30 students logged in at once make using it impossible.

At Clever, we’re working to change all that. We provide schools with a free API and single sign-on solution that makes using educational apps a breeze. We’ve grown fast: after four years, half of all schools in the US (68,000 schools) are using our platform. Our goals are much bigger than that, though. We want to be two things:

-a single place where schools can easily integrate, manage and analyze all the software they’re using, and

-a single identity that students can use to see everything they’ve learned across multiple apps.

We’re a team of just over 100 (40 engineers) based in downtown SF, and we’re looking for engineers who enjoy working in (or would enjoy learning) Golang, Node and React. More generally, we want people who are sharp, adaptable, and passionate about improving the way education works for everyone.

Pathlight is the first platform dedicated to helping sales managers. These managers are critical to any organization’s success (and revenue), but are stuck with using whiteboards, email, and spreadsheets to do this vital job.

Sales managers use Pathlight every day because it helps them control their team's pipeline, productivity, and development like they've been doing it for 20+ years.

We’re looking for hungry and talented full-stack engineers to help us.

Pros:

  - Green field development. An opportunity to build things from scratch and own large parts of the stack.
  - Real world problems. The kind that companies pay $100K+ to solve.
  - Experienced founders. This is our 2nd startup - our first was acquired in 2013.
  - Well-funded and well-run. Series A, low burn. Capital efficiency is important to us.
  - Product market fit. Companies already using it every day.
Cons:

  - Very early. Very uncertain.
  - We’re not going to match your offer from Facebook
  - No free lunches, gym memberships, massages, etc.
  - We play Yacht Rock on Fridays.
Our application pulls from a customer’s existing CRM and uses a whole mess of buzz-words to perform our magic (cue shameless buzzword dump):

  - Python/Django (Python3, Celery)
  - Machine learning (scikit-learn, numpy)
  - GraphQL (a la Graphene, graphql-js)
  - Thick frontend client (ES6/Babel/React/Flux)
If you'd like to apply, please email your resume and contact information to trey[at]pathlight.co for more information.
