Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2020)

Yup provides online, 1:1 math tutoring for middle and high school students. We train all our tutors in a specific method for helping students to learn. The approach is focused on long-term learning, rather than getting through homework as fast as possible.

Our primary target customers are schools, although we also have subscription plans for individual parents. We're seeing increased interest from school administrators, many of whom are adapting to remote learning for the first time.

We're seeking a Head of Product who is excited about:

- improving math achievement at scale

- owning the product vision and roadmap

- driving every detail of our experience for students, teachers and administrators

Feel free to email rahim (AT) yup.com if you have questions before you apply. Mention HN in the subject line.

At Waitwhile, we work on tools to eliminate the 1 Trillion hours that people spend waiting in lines every year.

Waitwhile is looking for a Frontend and/or Backend Engineer to build features, design and implement API methods, and improve the performance and reliability of our clients and systems as we rapidly scale our product and organization.

We build our app using Angular, Nodejs, Firebase, Firestore and Linux on GCP. We’re still a small cross-functional team who genuinely enjoys working together to make Waitwhile a better product and you’ll be our first engineer hire, which leaves room to really shape the work you will be doing. We are looking for people that understand that simplicity and reliability are aspects of a system to be carefully calculated with every decision made.

This is a full time remote position right now but an opportunity to relocate to Stockholm (Sweden) or San Francisco should open up in the future.
