Paul is one of the most impressive, fun and welcoming people I met at YC. This is awesome — congrats on the well-deserved success, guys! Excited to see what you'll build at Coinbase.


They essentially got hired with a signing bonus. How is that a success for the startup?


If the founders are happy with this outcome it’s a success. You don’t get to define their success criteria as a bypasser.


True! You're right, I was wrong. Thanks.


Permutive (YC S14) | London, UK | Software Engineer (Scala) | Full-time, permanent, on-site, eligible to work in UK

We're a B2B SaaS company building the data platform and tools for a world with a trillion devices. We have product–market fit and customers that love us, and we're growing rapidly in Europe and the US. We raised a $10M Series A at the beginning of the year and have received funding from some of the world's best investors, including Y Combinator.

Everything we build operates at scale: our platform processes billions of requests a day across hundreds of millions of monthly end-users. We're developing a next generation data platform for a world with a trillion devices, and we think applying functional programming techniques like compositionality and type-safety is the best way to build these massive distributed systems.

You would be joining our core backend team on-site in London, working mostly with Scala and 'big data' ecosystem technologies (our full stack is below). We're happy to talk to people with a wide range of experience—from straight out of university to those with decades of experience—but you should have a genuine interest and preferably experience in FP, distributed systems, and stream processing.

Languages: Scala, Haskell, Elm

Libraries: Cats, Cats Effect, FS2, http4s, Shapeless, Circe, PureConfig, pipes, Servant

Technologies: Kafka, Kubernetes, Terraform, Bigtable, BigQuery, Beam, Postgres, Google Cloud Platform

If you're interested and eligible to work in the UK, please email jobs@permutive.com with your CV/resume and a bit about you, making it clear that you found us on HN!

I looking for sub-constracting in FP languages

> Libraries: Cats, Cats Effect

Why, given that these are, in the context of a strict mostly-functional language, basically an unnecessary function wrapping. ;)

We're building the infrastructure for event-based personalization.

Our API lets you collect, retrieve, and query your users' behavior in realtime. It's the easiest way to integrate behavioral data into your product: we handle the collection of every user's interaction and provide a flexible query layer to react in realtime to their events.

We're looking for full-stack engineers to design and develop our core product. You'll be responsible for tackling and owning hard technical problems end-to-end. You should have experience and interests in some of the following:

* Working extensively in functional languages: we use Haskell, Scala (with scalaz), and Elm

* Building large-scale distributed systems: we run a stream data pipeline on AWS with Kinesis, EC2, DynamoDB, Postgres, S3, and friends

* Data engineering, particularly stream processing and applied ML, e.g. recommender systems for personalization

* Developing and scaling APIs and frontend products

We're an early-stage VC-backed startup with some of the top investors in London and Silicon Valley, including Y Combinator. Because we're a small team, you'll play a central role in everything — from product to company culture. We offer competitive salaries, equity, and bad jokes.

If you're interested, email us at jobs@permutive.com with your CV and anything else you think would be important for us to know!


Permutive (YC S14) — London, UK — http://permutive.com — ONSITE

We're focused on understanding and recommending content at scale. We use ML/NLP techniques to algorithmically understand the meaning behind content and make sense of people's wide and nuanced interests based on their behavior. Engaging content is the future of online monetization, and we're building the intelligent infrastructure for deploying revenue-generating content.

We have a ton of interesting problems to solve. We're constantly ingesting vast numbers of documents to learn from, tracking millions of interactions with content, computing the interests of millions of users, and making personalized real-time recommendations. This scale impacts every engineering decision we make, and we're looking to build a company with people excited by the challenges it poses.

You'll want to have interests or experience in some of the following:

* Working extensively in functional languages (we mostly use Scala, with Akka, Spray, Scalaz; some Haskell).

* Building large-scale distributed systems (we run a microservices architecture on AWS)

* Designing and implementing proprietary machine learning models and real-time personalized recommendation systems

* Rapidly iterating and scaling a front-end product (designing UX and UI, HTML/CSS & React, etc.)

We're a VC and Y Combinator-backed startup at the beginning of our journey. As one of our first engineers you'll play a central role in defining our tech culture and direction. There's a huge opportunity to effect change at scale through real responsibility and ownership of product. And because at this early stage there's so much to do, there's so much to learn and room to grow!
