Outschool is the marketplace of small-group online classes for K-12 learners. Our live video chat format transforms the diversity and quality of learning experiences available to kids around the world. Already, hundreds of independent teachers are offering thousands of classes in every subject: forensic science, competitive math, storytelling, anthropology, study skills, art, and many more. Parents love the selection: thousands of them are spending hundreds of dollars per month, and our sales are up 8x over the last year.

We are an accomplished team of four in SF, with experience in education, marketplaces, software, and operating online services at Udemy, Amazon, Airbnb, YC, Square, Google, and many startups. We are ambitious in the long term and pragmatic in the short term. We prioritize carefully, run experiments, start simple, then iterate. This gives us confidence at every step that we’re learning about our customers and building what they want. It also means we have less risk, randomness, and drama than most early startups.

We're now looking for a senior software engineer to complement our team. This is the perfect opportunity for the right person to get involved early, contribute a lot to our success, and create awesome learning experiences for kids. Everything about our product will evolve, so you'll work on a variety of projects: in-class interactions, teacher success, communication tools, marketplace discovery, metrics, internal process, infrastructure, and more. Our stack is modern JavaScript: React, Apollo/GraphQL, Node/Express, and Postgres.

We think the best candidates care about learning and education. You’ll need a mature perspective on engineering tradeoffs, product decisions, and teamwork. You must have been programming professionally and challenging yourself for at least 5 years. You have something to teach us.

A few months ago, a team of us at Y Combinator started working on a "common app", so that people could apply to all Y Combinator companies at the same time. It seemed silly to us that even though so many companies are struggling to hire people, it still requires O(n) effort to apply to n companies.

So, we built workatastartup.com. It's a simple way to apply to all YC companies at the same time. It's only for software engineers & data scientists for now (we hope to open it more broadly later). If a company is interested, you'll get an email from them.

It seems to be working pretty well - many of the people who posted a profile have gotten more than a dozen company founders reaching out to them, and some people have gotten jobs through it already. We'd love if you filled out a profile and let us know what you think (workatastartup@ycombinator.com) : https://www.workatastartup.com

Our team builds tooling for Python developers:

https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/python

https://notebooks.azure.com

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python This is a dev position for working on VS Code's Python support. VSC is cross-plat, lighter weight Editor++ (where ++ means debugging, etc.). The primary development language for VSC is TypeScript - although some parts are written in Python/.net.

If you are passionate about devtools, developer productivity, IDEs, languages, data science, ... this might be an exciting position for you!

Ideal candidate profile:

* 4+ years of JS/TS experience * Experience creating extensions for VS Code is a major plus

* Experience working on IDE components (Editor/Debugger/...) is a major plus

All of our work has been done in open source from day one. We have no OS or HW religion - pick win, macos, linux, lenovo, macbook, ... :)

The position is for Redmond, WA, however I'll consider exceptional candidates for remote work as well.

If interested, or have questions, please send your resume to PythonJobs@Microsoft.com with the subject line: "VSC-Python"

Thank you!
