Kara is a software platform to empower investors and technology companies to achieve their climate and social goals. The problem that we are solving is that investors (LPs and GPs), governments, and a whole new generation of consumers are increasingly asking if their capital is building the world that they want to see: Are our investments helping solve our climate crisis? What's the diversity of the leadership of our portfolio companies? Are there any practices within the companies that are not responsible?

We are a quickly growing startup, with numerous clients and pilots using our MVP platform. This is a great opportunity to be our founding engineer at Kara. We are looking for a senior/principal engineer that is ready to jump into the startup life and take the next step in their career as a founding engineer. We currently have an MVP built in no-code (Bubble) that works great at current scale, but you will build and own our next gen platform (to be built on a traditional tech stack from scratch). You will own the architecture, grow the engineering organization, develop and implement process, communicate technical strategy to multiple stakeholders, and work directly with the CEO and Head of Product to build the platform that aims to achieve their social and climate goals!

Location: Since the team is small and we are looking for a founding engineer, NYC is preferred, but also open to remote. In this case, travel to NYC would be beneficial to the team and we’d love to see and create with you in person!

For more information about us and the position, check out the description here: https://apply.workable.com/kara-inc/j/725A61AC38/

If you’d like more information before applying, feel free to reach out to me here: nick@modeselekt.com. My name is Nick and I’m Kara’s engineering advisor responsible for the MVP platform and helping to hire an amazing founding engineer!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No one is going to do a face to face call with every candidate. Giving someone a coding exercise is the most time and cost effective way to filter people. Why waste time spending eng or HR hours calling someone when they can't code? As dumb as it sounds, giving a simple assignment probably culls the number of actually applicants down significantly.

I have done face-to-face calls with every plausible candidate. I prefer it and it's not hard to do. I get a quick read on the candidate, which is handy, but more importantly, I get to sell them on the job. And I get to demonstrate that that, unlike somebody who thinks that talking to interested people is a "waste [of] time", I'm interested in the candidates as people. And will remain interested in them as people afte…

I'd also prefer that I never got ghosted after an application or a coding challange and talk to a real person, but its such an effective tool for narrowing down candidates.

There are places nowadays with maybe 300 or 400 engineers getting applications from tens of thousands of people, its easier than ever to apply for a job, and you need to thin the number of prospective candidates down with some heuristic. Coding questions is one of those ways. It tests your logical reasoning ability, your ability to show command over some language, and ability to code.

Quite frankly I would prefer that vs some arbitrary resume screen based on what School I went to. I would love to talk to someone and learn about the job, and on the flipside I love talking to people about their motivations and seeing them tackle problems live. However, this is not realistic.

Bringing advertising to your most captive audience - your tenants. This looks ghoulish.

Maybe you should break off a piece of that six-digit cheddar you're making as a high flying software developer and buy yourself some real estate with it, sport. Then you won't be on HN crying about eeeeevulll landlords anymore.

It’s an exciting time at the company right now. We have product/market fit, and we’re focused on growth. You’d have a massive impact on app architecture, product/features, and our eng culture.

We’re currently hiring one Backend-leaning software engineer ($140k to $180k). We offer great benefits and perks, including flexible hours anywhere from the US + Canada.

Our stack is: Typescript, Node.js, React, AWS, Kubernetes, MySQL, and native Swift/Kotlin mobile apps.
