Orbit | San Francisco, CA | Full Time | Full stack / Frontend | https://tryorbit.com/

"We're" basically me. If you want to do the startup jig this is about as good as it gets -- a cornucopia of interesting tech and a fresh approach to an old problem. Big problems to solve, huge areas of control over the future, and good equity.

The website shows almost a year-old version of the product/pitch, it's come quite far since then. The pitch is a knowledge app platform that runs entirely on device, with great search, and which learns your company vocabulary and profiles of everyone with who is good at what. Our "secret" is an augmented system for actually understanding your screen at all times and showing augmented information/updates inline, anywhere you are.

Combine state of the art on-device NLP, a novel OCR system that scans a dense screen of text in What I need is one great developer who leans towards Frontend and React. But ideally loves moving between front and back, is motivated by tackling big problems and building a truly incredible product/experience, and is willing to sacrifice some salary for equity (the typical startup pitch). But the nice part is -- we have the best investors (Founders Fund), it's very close to launch, and the problems we're solving are absolutely engaging.

I need someone in SF. I've tried remote, but for something this early it just needs to be in-person.

Italic.com | Full-stack, Front-end, Head of Marketing, Business Development, and more | Los Angeles, CA | $120-150k + equity | ONSITE, FULL-TIME

Just founded this year, Italic is a marketplace where you can shop directly from the world’s best factories.

Factories make more profit, buyers save money but same luxury quality. We're a band of rebels from technology and retail, inspired by both tradition and technology, with a hellbent desire to reinvent the industry for the betterment of all, not just the few.

Our product team hails from well-loved brands like Calvin Klein, Armani, Patagonia, & Arc'teryx. Our tech team comes from Snapchat, Shopify, Pinterest. We're backed by top investors including Comcast, Global Founders Capital, Index, Ludlow, and the founders of Coinbase, Behance, TravelBank, & Hush.

Very recently raised $13M Series A. Founder was Thiel fellow, YC S15, and raised big money. We’ve been covered in Vox, AdWeek, Glossy and more coming up. Great time to join a small all-star team :)
