Matterport (YC W12) creates a low-cost easy-to-use 3D scanner that lets you turn reality into 3D models.
We scanned Y Combinator shortly before demo day -- you can see the scanning process and the automatically generated 3D model on our demo video starting at 0:40 http://matterport.com/#video
We're proud to be creating something incredibly useful. This is going to become a vital tool for the millions of professionals who work with 3D spaces on a daily basis, including construction companies, film studios, building operators, real estate companies, industrial engineers, remodelers, architects, retail designers, insurance companies, and more. Our site is being deluged by requests for new uses for the system every day.
We're starting our beta testing program with several large companies, and we've already finished raising a very sizable seed round.
However, scanning is only half of the Matterport experience. What happens after scanning — viewing, annotating, and publishing scanned 3d content — is essential to giving users a seamless and pleasurable experience.
This is where you come in.
We're looking to you to build out the Matterport website and server infrastructure, including both the database of scanned 3D content and the user interface for browsing it. You would be the first web developer we hire, so you would have a chance to set your choice of language, framework, and best practices for web development at Matterport.
You should have past experience scaling a website from inception to large numbers of users while maintaining reliable performance.
We feel that it's worth giving larger than typical equity compensation for early employees -- we want you to do really well if the company does really well.

A bit about us:
We are all experienced founders and were previously early employees at PayPal and Google. We like to work hard and get shit done. We are intellectual and curious. We know how to communicate and get along. We're goofy and keep the work atmosphere fun. We're not brogrammers. :-)
Most of all, though, we're driven to change the world in a deep and meaningful way.
