Contextly - San Francisco - Local, Possibly Remote

Contextly is making online news better. We're currently in a closed beta of our related links service, a beta that includes Wired.com and other top tech blogs.

We're looking for a technical co-founder to build and architect (in the widest possible conception of that term) a better future for online news. Pardon the generalities, but we actually believe that stealth is underrated for startups.

If you are passionate about journalism and big data and want to build something that actually makes a difference, drop us a line, we'd love to talk.

There are many decisions yet to be made about our future stack, so being proficient at choosing the right tools in an honest manner is more important than having X years experience in Python/Ruby/MongoDB, etc. An interest in APIs, big data, graph analysis, etc., as well as open source contributions will help you stand out.

E-mail ryan@contextly.com with "HN" in the subject line.

Brooklyn, NY Full Time

Custora (YC W11) is a customer analytics tool that helps retailers earn more from happier customers. To be a little more specific, we can point to a single retail customer and paint a meaningful portrait with his data: How much he’ll spend, how often he'll make purchases, what types of products he's inclined to buy, his predicted likelihood of returning, and more. Custora also integrates with email marketing providers and customer support systems to fuel a seamless, iterative flow of insights to actions.

From Fab.com to Etsy, some of the fastest growing and respected names in retail are using Custora on a daily basis.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a developer to join our core team. Our web stack is Ruby on Rails, and our analytics are done in R. Experience with these technologies is a plus, but we’re open to sharp developers with experience building products for the web in general.

Where We Are

Location-wise, we’re in Brooklyn, NY. We love it. Progress-wise, we’re a YC company from Winter 2011. We’ve recently been featured in the New York Times, GigaOm and BetaKit, and in the last 2 months we’ve had more signups than in the previous 10.

Day to Day Here’s a taste of what happened last month:

Aaron implemented a Dirichlet Latent Class Multinomial to power customer archetype analysis based on customer purchasing behavior.

Martin made dramatic improvements the email marketing part of the product. He made it easier for our clients to launch multiple email tests in parallel, and added four new email providers to our growing list of integrated partners.

Jon and David worked together to completely redesign the interface of the application. We moved from an interface that focused on browsing through dashboards to one that delivers answers to specific questions.

Outside the office, Corey and Dave manned a booth at a big e-retailer conference and developed a Blackjack-style Custora game to play with prospective clients.

What We Offer

Our compensation is competitive with anyone on the market. Since you’ll be a core member of the team, meaningful equity is part of the package. We offer comprehensive health coverage, including a dental and vision package. Lunches are paid for and we usually eat as a team. We do happy hours at least twice a month and play bocce ball competitively (sort of). Our vacation policy is based on trust — take what’s needed and keep the rest of the team up to speed.

Let’s Chat
