HN Jobs

Full-stack developer | Casetext (YC S13) | Palo Alto, CA E-mail us at jobs@casetext.com We are looking for a full stack engineer with design talent to help us rethink the way that people read, understand, and annotate texts. Your mission will be to work with Casetext's full stack and take substantial ownership over large parts of the code. (A sneak peek of the new site is at http://beta.casetext.com.) We aren't looking for experience with a particular set of languages. Instead, you should be comfortable collaborating with other engineers on a diverse software architecture. Our front-end is a single-page AngularJS application written with Jade and Less.js that uses Firebase, a cutting-edge real-time datastore, to make the site incredibly fast and responsive. Our back-end stack includes ElasticSearch, NodeJS, Go, and Python. ABOUT CASETEXT Casetext's mission is to make all the world's laws free and understandable. We have amassed an enormous database of legal texts, starting with over two million U.S. judicial opinions. A community of law professors, lawyers, law students, and citizens are adding insight and explanations. Casetext is disrupting an $8 billion legal research market currently controlled by a duopoly (Westlaw and LexisNexis) that has barricaded quality legal information behind a paywall. This is an opportunity to be an early employee at a rising start-up, take on a lot of responsibility, and play a substantial role in the future of the company. We are extremely selective with who we hire, but we make sure that our early team-members are well compensated in equity, salary, benefits, and quality of work. You’ll be working with engineers from Google and IBM, the president of the Stanford Law Review, and former practicing attorneys from Yale’s and Stanford’s law schools. We are a Y Combinator company (Summer 2013) and have raised a seed round of over $1.8 million. Perks include health/vision/dental, meals and snacks covered, and transit. We're in Palo Alto, blocks from the Cal. Ave. Caltrain. E-mail us at jobs@casetext.com.
