Everlane FULL TIME San Francisco, CA Hey HN! I'm Jesse, one of the co-founders of Everlane, and we're hiring engineers. Check out our website at http://www.everlane.com, and my personal blog at http://20bits.com We're trying to re-imagine retail online and make it easy to find products that match your taste and style. Right now we're focused on mens fashion, but our ambitions are much larger. pg did a good job of explaining the opportunity, here: http://ycombinator.com/rfs2.html Here's a sample of some of the user feedback we get daily: * I can't wait until you open a store. * When are you going to start selling things? I want to spend all my money with you. * It's like you entered my brain and turned it into a store. * I want to buy all my husband's clothes from you -- please start selling! We're well-funded by really awesome investors and need engineers who are interested in building the next big online retail destination. Our current stack is Ruby, Rails, MySQL, and Heroku, but smart and hungry beats knowledge of specific languages. If you're interested send me an email at jesse@everlane.com and mention this post. The most important thing is for you to be excited by the opportunity, so make it clear. Bonus points for including a solution to this exercise in the language of your choice: http://static.everlane.com/everlane_exercise.pdf
