Earlier quoted context omitted.

We initially started as software to improve the maintenance process for rental homes, then added a 24/7 emergency answering + dispatching component. With those we found that a) residents loved having a service that actually answered and quickly handled their maintenance, particularly emergencies, and gave them full and complete visibility into their maintenance progress. We see typical companies move from days or wee…

It sounds like you found a problem you're improving. I don't want to stop you. But to me it feels like a bandaid fix, a short term stop gap for a larger issue. The reason it got a negative response from me is that I look at the problem from a renters point of view, and not an owners. Housing is in short supply, REITs make billions of profit, homelessness is on the rise. And here your selling point is "get a new reven…

I do agree we are missing the mark on our messaging of how the revenue model works, particularly from the renter's point of view. The specifics of billing and charges are complex in the third party property management space (much more so than for owner-operators). I'm happy to discuss the specifics further via email if you'd like to get into that nuance.

Housing availability, pricing, and supply is hard to solve. Institutional buyers such as REITs do add more challenge to this difficult landscape. We don't target institutional clients and the vast majority of our customers are small mom-and-pop third party managers.

> and are actively hiring!

Wow just two weeks after laying off 15% of your staff!? [0] Those bodies are still warm.

Having worked for a similar company eager to hire after layoffs I wouldn't be surprised if you're hiring for roles of many people you just let go, people who haven't even gotten over the shock of layoffs to start applying for new positions yet.

Kind of undermines your leadership's claims of:

> "This is the first time in Course Hero’s 17 years that we have done a layoff of this size, and it’s not a decision we made lightly ... It follows careful deliberation with the leadership team about the moment we’re in."

I get that sometimes layoffs are a hard choice, but I think it's important for the HN community to realize what kind of company you are representing. I've got skills you could use, and am interested in a new role, but find this type of hiring practice repulsive and certainly would hope that there are consequences for so quickly reneging on such "deliberation".

I've seen this posting many times over the last year. This role seems like it would be very desirable for a large portion of the HN crowd, so I am curious: are you having difficulty filling a single role, or are you continuously growing the team?

The are almost across the street from me and I would love to work there but I don't have the skills the they are looking for. I think few do.

BoomPop | San Francisco, CA | Remote (US) | Sr. Full Stack Engineer, 7+ yrs | Full-time

BoomPop is on a mission to bring people together. We launched with Virtual Events during COVID, then quickly expanded in-person events - offsites, retreats, client summits, annual kickoffs, etc. – with a platform that makes it easy for any company to manage everything in one place. Although we’re barely over 2yrs old, we have over 4,000 clients (Google, Apple, Netflix, Nike, Accenture) and have brought over 150,000 people together so far. And we’re just getting started.

The tectonic shift that is remote work has left 57% of office space vacant - $1.7T of annual spend, and companies such as Airbnb, Salesforce, Shopify, and Reddit are all adopting the new mantra: “Offsites are the new office.” Group travel pre-pandemic was already 40% of the $800B corporate travel industry and it’s absolutely exploding as companies shift facility spend from office space to in-person events, providing endless opportunity for BoomPop.

BoomPop Engineering is a remote-only team working in the four US time zones. We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join us designing and developing the next generation of our Event Platform. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be an integral part of developing our commercial and technical product strategy, and you will be expected to be focused on user and business needs as well as exercising profound technical judgment. Our Senior Software Engineers are essential for our company’s success, and have broad responsibility to determine approach, architecture, and integration with our ever-evolving Event Platform.

Tech Stack: TypeScript – frontend and backend AWS Serverless – Lambda, Event Bridge, etc. SST framework Next.js, hosted on Vercel GraphQL Postgres and DynamoDB MUI components Cypress automated testing Automated CI/CD pipeline using Github Actions

$150K-$210K + significant equity
