London, UK. Full time

Software craftsman required. Expertise in JavaScript and web development essential.

Could you be employee #1? We're looking for a brilliant developer to join two busy co-founders to help take the product and company to the next level.

== About you ==

You're passionate about producing beautiful, elegant code. You want to work in a company where quality counts, not just out of professional pride, but because great code makes for robust products, rapid development, and a beautiful user experience.

You've got a keen interest in security and take it into account in every piece of code you write. You graduated from a good university with a numerate degree, and have developed software in a commercial environment.

== About us ==

ONEIS solves complicated information management problems for information intensive small and medium organisations.

What does that mean? Each of our clients faces a different problem in how to manage the information in their business. Our current clients include consultancies, private health, insurance, training, and a tax information provider. Standard small business tools aren't good enough, but the large enterprise solutions are overkill and user-hostile. We work with our clients to design a customised solution built on our core information management platform, and host their data ongoing.

We launched to our first clients three years ago and have steadily built an enthusiastic user base. We're a bootstrapped company, funded entirely by revenue from our clients. With no investors, we can focus solely on producing a great product for happy clients.

ONEIS is a collaboration between myself, a developer, and my co-founder, an Information Architect. We've used her expertise to radically rethink how digital information should be managed, and our client satisfaction shows we got it right.

== About the role ==

You'll start by building server-side JavaScript plugins to implement custom features for our clients. These are quick to write, so you'll work on lots of interesting and varied projects from the start.

When you're happy with that, your responsibilities will expand. This will be a bit of everything from developing the core Platform to a spot of systems admin. You may not be familiar with the full stack yet, but you'll be keen to learn it all in a fast-paced environment.

== More info ==

* We primarily use JavaScript (Rhino interpreter), JRuby and PostgreSQL, and develop on Mac OS X.

* Documentation for our JavaScript API: http://docs.oneis.co.uk/dev/plugin

* Some of our clients talking about the system: http://www.oneis.co.uk/openday

* Our jobs page: http://www.oneis.co.uk/jobs

My contact details are in my profile. Send me your CV and an example of code you've written!

Brooklyn, NY Full Time

Custora (YC W11) is a customer analytics tool that helps retailers earn more from happier customers.

To be a little more specific, we can point to a single retail customer and paint a meaningful portrait with his data: How much he’ll spend, how often he'll make purchases, what types of products he's inclined to buy, his predicted likelihood of returning, and more. Custora also integrates with email marketing providers and customer support systems to fuel a seamless, iterative flow of insights to actions.

From Fab.com to Etsy, some of the fastest growing and respected names in retail are using Custora on a daily basis.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a developer to join our core team. Our web stack is Ruby on Rails, and our analytics are done in R. Experience with these technologies is a plus, but we’re open to sharp developers with experience building products for the web in general.

Where We Are

Location-wise, we’re in Brooklyn, NY. We love it. Progress-wise, we’re a YC company from Winter 2011. We’ve recently been featured in the New York Times, GigaOm and BetaKit, and in the last 2 months we’ve had more signups than in the previous 10.

Day to Day

Here’s a taste of what happened last month:

Aaron implemented a Dirichlet Latent Class Multinomial to power customer archetype analysis based on customer purchasing behavior.

Martin made dramatic improvements the email marketing part of the product. He made it easier for our clients to launch multiple email tests in parallel, and added four new email providers to our growing list of integrated partners.

Jon and David worked together to completely redesign the interface of the application. We moved from an interface that focused on browsing through dashboards to one that delivers answers to specific questions.

Outside the office, Corey and Dave manned a booth at a big e-retailer conference and developed a Blackjack-style Custora game to play with prospective clients.

What We Offer

Our compensation is competitive with anyone on the market. Since you’ll be a core member of the team, meaningful equity is part of the package. We offer comprehensive health coverage, including a dental and vision package. Lunches are paid for and we usually eat as a team. We do happy hours at least twice a month and play bocce ball competitively (sort of). Our vacation policy is based on trust — take what’s needed and keep the rest of the team up to speed.

Let’s Chat
