We're trying to become the iTunes of fashion. www.styleowner.com
We have a great engineering team in SF and are looking to add one or two amazing engineers (we were too small this year to compete in the Github dodgeball tournament). email matt@styleowner.com for details.
Our stack is ruby/sinatra/datamapper and we also heavily use redis. Lots of cool scaling related development, as well as backend and frontend stuff. Developers do not need to know anything about fashion, but any design strengths are certainly a plus.
We're funded by Accel and have fantastic investors. I mention this b/c it matters a lot.
Email me and we can chat about the position, look at some of your code, etc. You can also meet our team, check out our office, etc. matt@styleowner.com
Have you considered doing a similar one to help companies find good candidates to hire?
(forgive the mention of this fact but:)
StyleOwner (SF) is hiring (today we're at the UC Berkeley Startup Fair) and we'll be at the Github party on Monday. email matt@styleowner.com for more details. Hiring for both frontend and backend positions. Ideal candidate will want to do 20% time toward open source work.
I'd consider something like this, but I'm not sure how it'd work. Would you just loook for people saying 'I'm looking for a job' or would it be something more complex based on what expertise you can infer from there tweets?
In this hiring environment I'm not above the occasional shameless plug. Your point about vagueness is well taken, but I'd have to write 3 pages to really give you a detailed understanding and I'd rather just show it all to you over a beer.
My company is hiring:
We do e-commerce where people can set up their own fashion boutique -- we have a massive catalog full of top-tier designer products. We have made incredible partnerships with brands, the fashion industry, etc. People who set up stores facilitate social shopping via their store and make a small commission per sale. If you don't get why this is cool b/c you wear sweatpants or the same pair of jeans, that's OK, I have data to show you.
Our site, www.styleowner.com is solid on the backend but needs a lot of frontend love. If you like backbone.js, web standards, etc., come join us and help make it one of the best sites on the web. Backend developers wanted too however. We use Ruby, Sinatra, DataMapper, Node, Redis and more. Interest in IOS is also a plus.
We're hiring for 2-3 positions. We are looking to make some key hires right now and the goal is a superb team.
If you're in San Fran let me meet with you over coffee or beers and show you our codebase, tell you in incredible detail what we're working on, etc. I'd also like to see some of your code. The goal is to give you an idea if you want to work on our app and what that would entail over at least the next few months.
We're funded by Accel, have great investors, etc. The only challenge has been in tech hiring b/c if you're good you probably already have a job you enjoy. So give it a shot and meet us and see what you think.
Putting together an awesome engineering team is our #1 priority. We're in the stage where we're making key hires and ramping up.
The poster is complaining about the lack of specificity in jobs adverts while broadcasting his availability for work. Since non-YC companies cannot post their own advertisements, it is either this or waiting for the monthly "Who is Hiring" thread, which most people miss.
I wouldn't upvote the post in normal circumstances, but it isn't off-topic and downvoting it only makes it unreadable.
