Etleap (YC W13) Is Hiring a Customer Success Manager
Who is Etleap?

Etleap's mission is to transform the way businesses drive analytics projects.

We started Etleap out of frustration with the exorbitant amounts of engineering work required to set up, maintain, and scale data pipelines for analytics. Our vision is to make it simple for analytics teams to quickly and securely connect the data sources that power their businesses. We’re doing this by removing all of the traditional complexities of data integration and creating a new kind of ETL that enables the end user of data to integrate and transform data from any source.

Our team is customer-obsessed and values openness and being experimental. We’re growing fast, and we’re backed by First Round Capital, SV Angel, YCombinator, and a number of other top-tier investors.

We are looking for a dynamic customer relationship professional to own Etleap’s customer success strategy and ensure customers are receiving the tools and support needed to achieve their goals, resulting in optimal customer success, engagement and retention.

About You

- 5+ years of B2B customer relationship/ account management experience at a startup

- Curiosity and drive to understand a technical software product and how it creates value for its customers

- Successful at building and championing relationships with customers

- Exceptional verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills

- Entrepreneurial self-starter: propose ideas rather than needing direction, with a figure-it-out attitude

- Experimental approach, pragmatic vs. dogmatic

About the Role

- Maintain relationships, renewals and retention within Etleap’s customer base

- Liaison between Etleap’s customers and Etleap’s engineering team for matters related to the product

- Plan and optimize strategy for flagging risks regarding renewals and manage renewals of all service contracts

- Champion customers’ growth goals and strategies in order to identify opportunities to add more value through proactive guidance and support

- Identify areas to improve efficiency and automation of processes

- Own communication with customers for marketing initiatives ie. trade shows, webinars, and case studies

- Provide onboarding support to new customers/ trial customers

- Gain expertise through meaningful customer collaborations, market research and attending industry events

You will be working alongside a team of dynamic engineers in a fast-paced startup office environment. Our office is near AT&T Park at 2nd & Townsend in San Francisco. For now, we're adhering to State and City ordinances and working from home. We offer catered lunch, a kitchen stocked with great snacks (when we're back in the office, of course), as well as Unlimited PTO, Health Care, and Commuter Benefits.

Why did the carriers allow RIM's bluetooth tethering (Bridge) to be free, while iPad/iPhone users have to pay exorbitant monthly fees? I know AT&T has blocked Bridge, but it sounds like they have no plans to charge customers once they approve it.

... Faced by failure of credit they have proposed only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. They know only the rules of a generation of self-seekers. They have no vision, and when there is no vision the people perish.
My first iOS game - PYXL, the story of the little pixel that could
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pyxl/id635756451?mt=8
Im very happy to announce that after several months of procrastination, I have finally released my first iOS game! Developed in my spare time after work, this was a project I took on in an effort to sharpen up my programming skills after years of neglect, but eventually it turned into a project with a life of its own.

Full of thumb bending action packed gameplay, PYXL is the story of a baby pixel, born to the land of screens. Just like thousands of other tiny little pixels, he dreamed to one day grow up to be a real life pixel, displaying magic and amazingness.

Its available now for 99c on the appstore - So buy it, share it with your friends, and please rate it!
Accurately predicting delivery times
From the latest issue of Monocle, of all places:

Scheduling technology for anyone involved in deliveries or home appointments.

"We will be there some time between 8:00 and 17:00" Oh, the joys of having a new sofa delivered, or getting a plumber to your house. Surely there is a way of tracking a delivery van that allows you to know where it is and when it will turn up to within an hour? It's a job for a young tech firm and a group of CEOs willing to put service before excuses"

My guess is a solution would have more dispatch and less van-tracking, but is there anyone trying to do something like this currently?

Ask HN: Computer Scientist as Politicians?
I was interested in the question about how computer scientist would perform as politicians. As far as I know, one person who seems to be pretty prominent in a government leader position is Herman Cain. Since computer science is a fairly new discipline and most of the world's leaders so far are not computer scientists. I would like to find out opinions on how a computer scientist would fare as a politician. Perhaps a more efficient and tech-driven governance? Will we one day see a president who is a computer scientist? That would be a really interesting question. Thank you.

Ask HN: Apple is always right.
H.264 vs WebM

H.264 pros:
- technically more advanced
- more widely used and embedded

WebM pros:
- somewhat "freer/opener/non-proprietaryier/no licensing fees"

Flash vs HTML5

Flash pros:
- technically more advanced
- more widely used and embedded

HTML5 pros:
- somewhat "freer/opener/non-proprietaryier"

On some level it's kinda paradox, if someone wants Flash to be replaced by HTML5 and H.264 to become the new web-video standard (if they use the above arguments for their opinion), no?

ASH HN: How do I die like a doctor?
"How doctors choose to die"[http://www.theguardian.com/society/2012/feb/08/how-doctors-choose-die] article trended on HN recently.

One sentence from that article made me think twice: "To see how patients play a role, imagine a scenario in which someone has lost consciousness and been admitted to hospital. As is so often the case, no one has made a plan for this situation, and shocked and scared family members find themselves caught up in a maze of choices."

So how do I make a plan for such situation? I can configure a server, but I know nothing about the alleged "maze of choices" when it comes to choosing my resuscitation plan. I don't want to end up in a situation where I choke on chewing gum and die because of DNR but the opposite extremes are equally scary.
