##YC-backed startup, looking for extremely talented Obj-C/Rails engineer for first technical hire##

We're building a new platform for mobile commerce--an elegant, gorgeous experience for buying and selling. The founding team consists of two people with extensive experience in user acquisition, product design, and development. We've raised money from some of the valley's top investors, and have a ton of support from the most brilliant product minds in SF.

If you're a hacker with interest in an early position at a YC-backed startup, we'd love to talk. We're looking for a hardcore generalist, which means you should:

  • understand undocumented libraries and code bases in a day
  • have a strong understanding of everything from optimized PostgreSQL to performance hacking UIWebView's, and everything in between (Rails!)
  • understand what it means to work in an intense startup environment
  • learn quickly, we value raw intelligence pretty highly

This isn't an easy role, but it's an amazing opportunity for the right person. We're giving this hire a large equity stake and, because we're small, there is a ton of room to influence the strategic direction of the company. The best fit will probably be someone hoping to be a technical founder in their next job.

If you'd like to hear more send us your github/linkedin profiles, and a quick note describing your coolest hack in a few sentences: [email protected]
