HVF Labs | Company Builders, Designers and Developers | San Francisco | Salary $75-$120k
HVF is Max Levchin's startup studio - the team here works on all kinds of things that we think we can turn into meaningful and lasting companies. We've started two new companies in the last year and we're currently working on two more. The plan is to do this about four times a year.
We operate under a unique structure here. We bring in a few types of people -
EIR's (disclosure: I am one of those here) These are typically people we believe can start a company and run it taking it the distance as founder/CEO's.
Company Builders - These are people who have a deep interest in joining a company very early (in the idea iteration phase) either as an early employee or a co-founder
HVF Core Staff - These are the people who help the companies coming out of HVF succeed.
So far we've seen Yelp, Affirm, Glow and Divvy Homes publicly announce their launch and as mentioned there are a couple more in the pipeline.
One of the major bonuses about being here is getting to work with brilliant people.
Ben Jun who runs HVF is literally the guy who discovered a side channel attack that allowed people to exploit the voltage output of a Credit Card chip to decrypt the card number. Don't worry he also helped fix it!
It's an environment like no other I've been a part of and we're constantly looking for smart people who love iterating on ideas to join us and help us build something real and meaningful.
It doesn't hurt we get to hang out with people like Ben and Max on a regular basis too.
If this sounds interesting ping me and I'll be happy to have you by or tell you more!
