Y Combinator (yes, the people who run this site) | Full stack web | San Francisco | Onsite | Fulltime
Happy New Year, Hacker News!
Y Combinator has a small ~5 person team in San Francisco that builds all the software that runs YC.  We don't hire for this team very often, but we're looking to hire a couple of people now.
Despite our small size, we're in charge of a number of important products.  We run the software that powers YC's application process, software that almost every investor in silicon valley uses (<a href="), and Bookface, a private community site that is very actively used by YC founders.  This year we launched two big new projects - Startup School (<a href=") and Work at a Startup (<a href=").  Those new projects are going very well - we have over 26K founders signed up for Startup School - and we want to double down on them.
An unusual aspect of being on the YC software team is that you'll get full access to the YC program, founders and partners - from our dinner talks to demo day.  You'll learn the ins and outs of how YC works, and you'll get to know and learn from hundreds of companies.  If you want to start a startup someday, working at YC would be an excellent jumping off point.
We're looking for capable generalist engineers. We care mostly about your ability to write great software; we don't care if you've used the technologies we work with as long as you're willing to learn them.  We look for engineers with great product instincts who can own whole projects from start to finish.
We also offer highly competitive compensation and benefits, including equity in YC's portfolio.  You can read more about our values and engineering culture on KeyValues: <a href=".
