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.

Thanks!

post #78

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Out of interest: why do you set an upper limit of experience on 4-5 years? This way you effectively limit the age at 25-26 (graduating from school at 18, three years to get B.Sc. in CompSci and then the period mentioned).

I am also interested to know. Could be because they're (generally) cheaper?

Generally speaking the developers who apply to us aren't optimizing for salary today; if that's what they want then they'd be much better off working for Google/Facebook/Stripe/etc rather than founding a startup.

The amount we invest is enough to cover cost-of-living for the founders so they're able to focus on building their startups (it's roughly similar to other accelerators), but anyone building a startup should appreciate that it'll involve trading-off near-term salary for longer-term gain.

Planet Labs -- https://www.planet.com -- San Francisco, San Antonio, or Remote

We design, build, launch, and operate small satellites, and process, analyze and serve the imagery data we downlink from them. We have some serious (-ly fun!) data and software challenges as we aim to rethink how satellite imagery is accessed and used. Our goal is to image the entire Earth, every day, and democratize access to these data and tools. So far this year, we've launched 71 satellites across 6 rocket launches, with many more slated for next year. We're a team of ~100 engineers (software, mechanical, electrical, aero/astro, and manufacturing) and business people primarily based in San Francisco, with a small, primarily SRE, team building in San Antonio, and a handful of remotes across the world.
