Work at Jybe
Jybe is a seed-funded startup, founded with the goal of connecting people to their social and physical worlds at the same time (We'll tell you more about that later). Our founders are veterans of the search engine industry (Yahoo!, Bing, Inktomi, Powerset), and we're both deadly serious and having a lot of fun as we build a fast-moving company in a novel niche. We're located in Menlo Park, and will continue be stealthy for the next few months. Technologies we like (or use): Scala, NoSQL, Hadoop, AWS, git, XCode.
Why Work Here?
- Work on a highly innovative product, using the newest and best technologies - location-sensitive mobile in front, bigdata in back.
- Work with smart, driven people who are also nice. Jybe is an equal-opportunity employer, except for our nojerks policy.
- Learn every day - we like to invent new things almost as much as we like learning about things Not Invented Here.
- Ownership and upside (early-employee stock options)
- Central location - Menlo Park just off 101, by Dumbarton bridge.
