Overleaf (www.overleaf.com) | REMOTE | (1) Ops Engineer, (2) Growth Hacker

We're hiring for two positions at Overleaf, which is an online LaTeX editor with over 2 million registered users. We help academics collaborate more effectively and make LaTeX easier to work with. We recently acquired ShareLaTeX.com and are merging the two platforms into Overleaf v2.

1. Ops Engineer: We want to migrate our infrastructure to Google Cloud/AWS/Docker from our current setup based around Chef-server running on Linode. The technologies we currently use and will still need to support before any migration include Ubuntu, Redis, MongoDB, Haproxy, Nginx, Node.js, Jenkins and Docker. See https://www.overleaf.com/jobs for more information and how to apply.

2. Growth Hacker: We are looking for a data-driven and technically savvy marketer to develop and test new content, propositions, landing pages and experiences, drive conversions and improve our funnel analysis, and drive engagement and make sure churn stays low. See https://www.overleaf.com/jobs for more information and how to apply.

Some reasons you'd enjoy working with us:

- Around 80% of our codebase is open-source and we’re big fans of Free Software.

- Working hours can be flexible to your needs. Applicants in or near GMT preferred.

- We’re agile (with a lowercase a). We test thoroughly (unit and acceptance), we have a CI build process, a full staging environment to play with, and we automate as much as possible.

- Remote is a first class citizen, all founders and employees work remotely. We get everyone together in London every few months for valuable face to face time.

Please see https://www.overleaf.com/jobs for more information and how to apply.

Fold is a cryptocurrency company backed by a number of well-known investors in the space.

We have opportunities across our flagship payment product, working to implement Lightning and build a cross-currency checkout process, and with Keep (https://keep.network), a new project built on Ethereum that adds a privacy layer to the public blockchain.

Crypto and Python, Clojure, or Go experience are great, but a critical eye and willingness to master new technologies are the real requirements. We embrace remote work, and our team hails from all over.

If you are looking for the right opportunity to break into the cryptocurrency space, email work at foldapp.com.

Dynasty | Engineer | LA / Venice, CA | ONSITE

We are making bots. Our business is exploding and we really need 1-2 more engineers to help expand our bot’s capabilities, consolidate, simplify, and scale.

We are very early stage; there are five of us, and we started in June.

Our first product is Lisa, a bot that leases houses and apartments. Our clients now include some of the biggest groups in institutional real estate. Onboarding is effortless—clients hire Lisa as if she were a human employee.

Speaking for myself, this is one of the most fun and technically challenging projects I’ve worked on. Speaking for the business, our unit economics are excellent.

Whoever we hire will get a substantial (>=3%) stake in the company.

Required: speed, pragmatism, a penchant for simplicity, and a history of shipping

Nice to have: NLP expertise, Tensorflow experience; Java (ideally without heavy frameworks or excessive OO); React, Flow, GraphQL/Apollo. Node. Open source contributions.

(Any of these are positive but none are required. Tell us a bit about what you're comfortable with & what excites you.)

If you’re interested, please email me. dc@dynasty.com

GiveCampus (YC S15) | Full-Stack and Front-End Engineers | DC, SF | ONSITE, FULL-TIME | https://www.givecampus.com/careers

GiveCampus is a Y Combinator-backed company that builds fundraising software for educational institutions. We're tired of schools being stuck with crappy software that never changes, and we're working to bring actual innovation to the space, and solve the hair-on-fire problems fundraisers face. Our mission is to help our partners advance the quality, the affordability, and accessibility of education.

Michael Seibel, CEO of YC, expects us to be a household name in the next few years: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13896296. We were also covered by the Washington Post last year (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2016/04/1...), and have more than 6x the number of schools using us since that article was published.

We're still a small team, so if you're looking to join a fast-growing startup and have an immediate impact, we're looking for both full-stack (Ruby on Rails, Postgres) and front-end engineers with at least 2 years of professional experience. Our current team was previously with Facebook, Amazon, and Intel. Please no recruiters or dev shops.

Reach out to careers@givecampus.com with a bit about why you're passionate about education, and a project you've working on that you're particularly proud of.
