Pathlight is the first platform dedicated to helping sales managers. These managers are critical to any organization’s success (and revenue), but are stuck with using whiteboards, email, and spreadsheets to do this vital job.

Sales managers use Pathlight every day because it helps them control their team's pipeline, productivity, and development like they've been doing it for 20+ years.

We’re looking for hungry and talented full-stack engineers to help us.

Pros:

  - Green field development. An opportunity to build things from scratch and own large parts of the stack.
  - Real world problems. The kind that companies pay $100K+ to solve.
  - Experienced founders. This is our 2nd startup - our first was acquired in 2013.
  - Well-funded and well-run. Series A, low burn. Capital efficiency is important to us.
  - Product market fit. Companies already using it every day.

Cons:

  - Very early. Very uncertain.
  - We’re not going to match your offer from Facebook
  - No free lunches, gym memberships, massages, etc.
  - We play Yacht Rock on Fridays.

Our application pulls from a customer’s existing CRM and uses a whole mess of buzz-words to perform our magic (cue shameless buzzword dump):

  - Python/Django (Python3, Celery)
  - Machine learning (scikit-learn, numpy)
  - GraphQL (a la Graphene, graphql-js)
  - Thick frontend client (ES6/Babel/React/Flux)

If you'd like to apply, please email your resume and contact information to trey[at]pathlight.co for more information.

Our mission is to help people to feel happier and more self-confident by making it easy to dress well.

We're backed by a collection of the top investors from London and Silicon Valley as well as Y Combinator. After launching 4 years ago we're already doing $1M+ in monthly sales with over 500,000 men using the service in the UK.

We're looking for another talented, entrepreneurial software engineer to join us. Today we're a team of 6 full stack engineers with lots of startup experience (the founders have started and sold 2 companies before), and we're proud of the effort we've put into building and maintaining a strong engineering culture since the very first days of Thread. You'll be one of the first technical hires, getting to build and own huge parts of the product, and help us continue to shape our culture.
