Y Combinator (yes, the people who run this site) | Full stack web | San Francisco | Onsite | Fulltime

Y Combinator has a small ~4 person team in San Francisco that build all the software that runs YC. We don't hire for this team very often, but we're looking to hire a couple of people now. We last posted on this thread about a year ago, and successfully found someone who now works on the current team, so we're trying it again.

Despite our small size, we're in charge of a number of important products. We run the software that powers YC's application process, software that almost every investor in silicon valley uses (https://blog.ycombinator.com/investor-day-software/), and Bookface, a private community site that is very actively used by YC founders. This year we launched two big new projects - Startup School (http://startupschool.com/) and Work at a Startup (http://workatastartup.com/). Those new projects are going very well - we have over 26K founders signed up for Startup School - and we want to double down on them.

An unusual aspect of being on the YC software team is that you'll get full access to the YC program, founders and partners - from our dinner talks to demo day. You'll learn the ins and outs of how YC works, and you'll get to know and learn from hundreds of companies. If you want to start a startup someday, working at YC would be an excellent jumping off point.

We also offer highly competitive compensation and benefits, including equity in YC's portfolio. You can read more and apply here: http://bit.ly/1Od0T2l. You can also email me with any questions: jared@ycombinator.com

ngrok | San Francisco, CA | Full-Time | ONSITE or REMOTE | https://ngrok.com

ngrok is looking for senior backend distributed systems engineers! Your favorite developer tool is built by a very small company, so there's plenty opportunity to wear multiple hats and a lot of automony shaping the entire product. ngrok has many difficult challenges in distributed systems and networking that you won't find elsewhere in a company of similar size.

The stack is primarily Go (Golang), a little Python and React/Typescript. You should be comfortable with Go, GRPC/Protobuf, AWS and distsys design/architecture.

I'm the founder, email me directly: alan at ngrok com

Hey Alan, not going to apply at this point but just wanted to say hello and thank you for ngrok. Wonderful work.

I haven't used the product, but I want to say that I am impressed with the website. Everything is clean and to the point.

> driven by your productivity

Curious, how’s it measured?

fuzzieozzie · 8 years ago
In reality this is a qualitative metric. If you can produce value as quick as our CTO Shevek then we will have no issue paying you at the top of the range.

As a bootstrapped company (9 employees in 6 countries, no two of us have the same nationality) - we pay a reasonable base and pay a significant year end bonus that is influenced by your work during the year, our profitability and where you live.

No doubt this is not a satisfying answer, but as a small company we have great flexibility to structure packages to meet each team member's requirements.

The application page you link to doesn't include a listing for the senior front-end engineer position, is this intentional?

I worked with most of the founders directly at the Rackspace SF office. They're great people and know what they're doing. You should absolutely work here if you care about things like Kubernetes and Terraform.
