Software Engineer | True Link Financial | San Francisco, CA (onsite)
Our software stands valiantly between scammers and grandma's money.
I found out about this big-hearted YC company from the June 1st Who's Hiring thread and started working full-time on June 15th. Here are some things I've done since then:
- Helped to train &amp; mentor our talented first-job engineer (sourced through Hacker News!)
- Built internal features that made our Customer Support folks pretty much squeal with excitement
- Got to attend &amp; report back on a brilliant event called 'Disrupt Bias' - featuring top researchers in that field
- Attended an INCREDIBLE annual offsite held at a beautiful North Bay ranch
- Watched 'lightning talks' by various team members about the Fermi Paradox, Frank Lloyd Wright, Coco Chanel &amp; many more
- Was treated with compassion after a pretty ridiculous security misstep :/
- Got selected to speak at an upcoming conference that hasn't published its speaker list yet. :)
- Learned a ton about how payment processing works under the hood
- Used Twilio to add functionality to our phone system so our CS friends have a lower call volume
- Increased gif / screencap usage in PRs &amp; code reviews
We're looking for nice people who have worked on hairy, wacky production full-stack code before - someone who can make things better without being rude, judgemental or arrogant about it. We'd prefer session musicians over rockstars.
Email REDACTED_EMAIL and we'll get back to you within 2 business days, pinky swear!
keywords for you CMD+F types (not requirements) - rails, RoR, Jumpman, Jumpman, Jumpman, ruby, fintech, full-stack, chinchillas
