We power real world logistics using software. We have real customers, great angel and VC investors (in addition to YC), and our software works quite well actually!
Except, the real world is incredibly complex. We don't think we understand the underlying dynamics as well as we should. We need your help to help us observe, analyze, monitor, understand, and operate our entire system and make it awesome! Don't worry, we'll back you up, but you'll be our guy/gal to answer two very important questions -
"Whats' going on right now in the real world?"
"Why is this happening?"
This means that you'll spend a lot of your time monitoring our actual real world operations and grokking them. As soon as possible, we'd like you to start writing tools to help you do your job, to gather data, to squeeze out trends, patterns, and graph them.
We'd like you to be:
- Good at Python (or great at a similarly powerful language, and a fast learner)
- An excellent programmer that cares about code quality and good engineering practices
- Someone who takes ownership, and initiative. If you wait for orders to fix or improve things, this is not the right job for you.
- Comfortable in a role where you regularly interact with customers, because that is what it takes to get real world data. This is not a customer service job, but it definitely requires aspects of it.
In exchange we offer:
- An early position at a startup with real customers and non-trivial revenues, funded by YC and several top VCs and angels
- A good salary, stock options and health insurance
- An informal, friendly work environment where the only thing that matters is what you deliver
- An opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of real people, on day 1.
- Work with a team of dedicated people who really care about the problems they solve in the real world, and about their craft
You'll directly have complete perspective on how everything works and an ability to improve things in real time. Your work will help us find what's not right with the world, and help us make it right. That excites us. If it excites you, email venkatasubramanian@gmail.com with your resume and a link to your github/coderwall/code samples.
This position is based in SF.
