Custora (YC W11) - http://www.custora.com - New York, NY - Engineering and Data Science

Marketing used to be an exercise in one-to-many communication: billboards, magazine ads, and - more recently - having a powerful social media presence. At Custora, we’re helping to turn this model on its head, using mountains of data to help our customers direct the right campaigns to the right users rather than blasting the same message to the largest audience possible.

We're growing quickly and looking to fill positions from Front-End Engineering to Data Science. We're analyzing data for well over 500,000,000 end customers, and this number is growing fast. We compute sophisticated statistics on the fly, and building a marketing experimentation platform that's usable by the entire marketing team, and we need your help to build new statistical models, build the infrastructure to run those models, and to develop creative and intuitive ways of presenting our findings to our users.

Our job postings are at https://www.custora.com/careers. I'm more than happy to answer any questions and tell you more about us, so feel free to reach out to me at martin@custora.com.

Software Developer

Reports To: Vice President of Engineering

Start Date: Immediate/ Full-time

Location: Los Angeles, CA

www.nationbuilder.com

Compensation: Commensurate with experience, stock options and excellent benefits package

As a software developer, the world is full of opportunity. Every week there’s another social network, lean startup, marketplace or API opening up. Only rarely, however, does the opportunity come along to build something truly important - a genre-defining new product that is already changing people’s lives.

NationBuilder is an online Community Organizing System built by a world-class team dedicated to empowering a new generation of leaders and creators with the tools they need to create a new world.

We’re currently hiring great software developers to join our team in Los Angeles. We will relocate folks, so if you’ve ever wanted to live in LA, this is probably the best opportunity you’ll get. (And if you never considered living in LA we’ll convince you that it’s the greatest city to live in.)

You:

-are always interested in learning new things.

-get excited when you have the chance to pair.

-practice test-driven development and judicious refactoring.

-enjoy being responsive to customer feedback.

-are a pragmatic problem solver, knowing how to find the middle ground between “perfect, but takes forever to code” and “fixes it now, but nobody will ever be able to understand what I did”

-work well in small teams with a clear mission.

-have the insight to know whats important and the dedication to get it done.

Skills required: We use Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, HTML/CSS/SCSS, and Javascript (JQuery, Handlebars.js, Underscore.js, etc).

NoRedInk in San Francisco (or remote). Full stack rails engineers wanted to make sure that grammer is taught good. Every one's revolutioneyesing educaton but while some student's cant even right the write words. Then there was NoRedInk. NoRedInk helps students quickly improve their grammar and writing skills. We've got a small, technically excellent engineering team. We extensively use React.js and Flux in production…

I applied for this position, completed a 2 hour programming exercise, and then was told that you do not hire remote (or at least remote outside of the US). Please modify your posting to be accurate.

My apologies for that. We do hire remote outside the US (we currently have a remote employee working from São Paulo, Brazil[1]), but in your case we realized too late in the process that the time zone difference would have been too extreme for daytime collaboration.

Please accept my apologies that we did not come to this realization before sending you the programming exercise. It's too late for me to edit the parent post, but I will clarify in future postings that we're looking for remote with up to 6 hours of time zone difference from PST.
