Interact | Oakland, California (ONSITE) |Customer Success Manager

Posted by: Josh Haynam, Co-Founder

Interact is not a typical startup.

We’re bootstrapped and profitable, and have clients like Starbucks, The United Nations, and The Home Depot, despite just three team members at our company thus far.

We’re looking for someone to help our clients use our tools successfully, which means you’ll be interfacing with everyone from small business owners to top social media marketing experts at giant brands.

Working at Interact is challenging and sometimes frustrating, you’ll be pushed to learn more every month working here than you would in years working at a big company. (one of our team members words, not mine).

This position is for someone with very strong customer service skills who doesn’t back down from any challenge. You’ll have an opportunity to make a huge impact both inside of Interact and with our thousands of clients.

Our current team is made up of three people. The common theme between all of us is an ability to quickly produce results. Meaning that we discuss a new idea, divide up the responsibilities to get it done, and just go do it.

This makes working at Interact constantly exciting, we’re inventing new tools and figuring out how to market/sell them as we go.

What Interact actually does: We provide tools to brands for social media marketing. Our flagship product is a personality quiz maker so companies can make quizzes like the ones you see on Buzzfeed. We recently launched a sweepstakes product and are now working on Facebook live tools as well.

If you’re ready for a job that brings fulfillment and excitement to your life, get in touch with us.

Interview Process: 1. 15-minute phone call 2. 1-hour on-site 3. 2-hour take-home challenge

Really nice to finally see other companies investing on Technical QAs. Code reviews of PRs is definitely a must for QAs in my opinion.

HN Who’s Hiring Post GoCardless (YC S11) | London, UK | DevOps, Data, Backend and Frontend Engineers | Onsite | Full-time | Visa (full-time only)

GoCardless is building a payments network for the internet. Since 2011 we've been focused on simplifying Direct Debit for small and medium companies (who previously had no access to it) and we're now expanding to serve the largest companies (think newspapers, utilities) and connect with existing payment systems in countries all over the world. We already support the UK and Europe and are aiming to expand to more countries over the next year.

As an engineering team at GoCardless we care most about stable, reliable, understandable code. We rely on testing and code review and a culture of frequent constructive feedback. We define and manage our own roadmap and run projects in whatever way works best for us.

Our stack: Rails, Angular, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Docker, Chef. We also have a bit of Go and Python knocking around.

We love learning new things and contributing back to the community. We open source everything we can[1] and regularly host meetups and hackathons at our wheelchair-accessable office in Angel. We have a weekly bookclub within the team and give internal (and external) talks about things that interest us.

Interview process: an intro call, one coding challenge, then a couple of onsite interviews (pair programming and some chats - no whiteboards!)

For more info and to apply: https://gocardless.com/jobs. If you've got any questions, drop me an email (it's in my profile).
