Fixing our K-12 education system is a civilizationally-important problem. We believe that all of our problems — including the ones that dominate the headlines — are downstream of education.We have a simple thesis on how to solve it: empower 1,000's of educators to launch microschools in their communities.We believe the historical tradeoff between price (tuition) and quality is a false dichotomy.PrimerOS automates and eliminates much of the COGS of traditional schools. Microschools have a structural advantage — asset-light real estate — which means much lower capex and opex. You put it together, and you get something that’s never existed before: a world-class education that’s accessible to normal American families and can rapidly scale.

Primer

The software we build powers our Microschools end-to-end. From day one it helps teachers source real estate, recruit students, and provide an (actually) personalized education to every student. It offers rich insights to parents, enables virtual teachers to deliver exceptional experiences, and runs our back-office operations stack. We have a huge surface area to cover and a lot of hard work in front of us.We’re building a small team of exceptional, hands-on engineers to play a critical role in building PrimerOS - and you’ll be joining as the third member.A full JD can be found here: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://withprimer.notion.site/Founding-Engineer-JD-446b8057188443448eb6f9cbfb2ad0f8?pvs=4">https://withprimer.notion.site/Founding-Engineer-JD-446b8057188443448eb6f9cbfb2ad0f8?pvs=4</a>

We’re building a small team of exceptional, hands-on engineers to play a critical role in building PrimerOS - and you’ll be joining as the third member.

# About you:

- You have an unbridled passion for fixing the US education system. This is, as you’d expect, non-negotiable. This work is incredibly hard. But if we succeed, it will be the most fulfilling work of our lives. On the days and weeks that it feels like we’re chewing glass, there are only two things that will get you through: a deep passion for fixing this problem, and looking around and seeing a team that shares that passion. We can guarantee the latter, but only you can guarantee the former.
- The unknowns of the early-stage fuel you. You love rolling up your sleeves and figuring out what needs to happen.
- You have a strong grasp of engineering fundamentals. We use a healthy combination of TypeScript, NodeJS, GraphQL, Prisma, NextJS, React & Relay.
- You have an immense pride in your craft. Watching a session replay of a user having a bad experience with product you built makes you sick. Every detail matters as this gets sent out to 1m+ kids.
- We believe in in person, just like our schools. We are located in the sunny Mission district in San Francisco.

# Responsibilities:

- Own, build, and be responsible for complete product areas end to end.
- Work closely with our educators, designer, and head of product to define and build delightful product experiences.
- Interact with our users almost every day - you'll meet lots of students, teachers, and parents. Day in and day out you'll see how your work makes a real difference.
- Help set the foundations of our engineering culture and grow with the company. Refine our principles and have impact beyond just your engineering work.
- Understand when the work is a marathon and when it’s a sprint. This is not a cushy 9-5 job — but we know when to take breaks and pace ourselves.

We’d love for you to join us if this sounds like you.

We are happy to sponsor visas like TN1, E3 etc. For H1B (or any lottery based visa) we are happy to transfer them but not sponsor new ones, since there's uncertainty in terms of whether the visa will actually get issued or not.

We’ve raised $19.1 million in funding from top-tier investors like Menlo Ventures, Greylock, base case, South Park Commons, and Scribble, as well as founders and operators from companies like Vercel, Plaid, Datadog, Notion, Asana, HubSpot, and more.

Working at Orb
When you meet our team, you’ll see we’re a group of dedicated and kind individuals who care deeply about solving what is one of the most mission-critical problems for any business.

Every one of us has outsized impact on the business, our product, and our customers—we hold ourselves to a standard of excellence, with the empowerment to take risks and the judgment to focus our time on maximizing leverage.

We are not a culture of long hours, but we approach our work with intensity and a sense of urgency.

As a growing organization, we value in-person collaboration. We see it as a way to achieve our mission faster, in an environment of rapid ideation, strong alignment, and that energy that makes work more fun.

Role & Impact
As an Infrastructure Engineer at Orb, you will be responsible for designing and maintaining product features that require deeply understanding reliable and scalable systems. The infrastructure team works on every part of the stack and ships product quickly. Notably, this is not an auxiliary or support team; at Orb, performant infrastructure is a core part of the offering.

Orb has a broad range of infrastructure challenges that you’ll tackle in concert with our team. Some examples of work you might do at Orb include:

Building and scaling our data ingestion pipelines to support ever increasing data volumes. We ingest anywhere from 100 million to one billion events an hour and expect to see massive growth over the next year. These data pipelines need to be incredibly robust; the accuracy of every event counts.

Understanding how to scale query throughput against our specialized datastores in service of product features like real-time alerting while maintaining maximum flexibility in metrics customers can define. This allows our customers to implement usage limits and spend management through Orb.

Providing the most performant and flexible APIs to our customers and their end users, so they can build experiences that leverage usage data stored in Orb.

Building simple and reusable system-level components to serve as a foundation for other engineers. For example, designing and building a robust rate and cost limiting strategy across Orb’s API.

This is an opportunity to be the foundation of our infrastructure team, so you’ll lay the groundwork for both technical process and product investments. Your early work on our infrastructure stack will be key for the next decade of scaling Orb’s product. 

About You
You have 4+ years of experience in software engineering, specifically with 2+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering

Strong knowledge of best practices in modern software development such as deployments, CI/CD, data management, security, and distributed systems.

Experience working with AWS or other cloud environments utilizing containerization technologies such as Docker or Kubernetes.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area or willing to relocate (with support from Orb)

In order to thoughtfully scale the company and avoid downstream inequities, we don’t use leveling titles at Orb. You will not see us use prefixes like “Senior” in our job descriptions. We include experience requirements for every role and compensate employees based on their experience and internal level within Orb.

Orb’s Tech Stack
At Orb, we believe great engineers can learn any stack, so you do not need experience with these specific tools and we encourage you to apply regardless.

At Vellum, our mission is to be the primary platform companies use to bring AI into production. AI is the biggest platform shift since the internet, the applications are everywhere! With foundation models getting better we expect the world to be dramatically different in the future. We intend to be the platform layer to bring this amazing technology to life in production use cases.We enable companies to bring real business value from AI / LLMs. The output generated by AI / LLMs is usually stochastic and bringing AI into production requires robust testing and choosing the right model for the job. We’ve seen companies spend months of engineering time building good tooling for this (time which could be spent on their core end user facing product) and despite this they struggle to get the best results out of these models. Our platform provides companies best in class tooling to use their own data in production AI applications.We’re a YC W23 company, raised $9.5m and are backed by top investors like Rebel Fund, Eastlink Capital, Arash Ferdowsi (co-founder of Dropbox), Dharmesh Shah (co-founder of Hubspot), Dan Scholnick (board member of Weights &amp; Biases, Docker, New Relic), and Divya Bhat (former YC group partner, 2x CEO). We announced our fundraise on TechCrunch here: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/11/prompt-engineering-startup-vellum-ai/">https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/11/prompt-engineering-startup-vellum-ai/</a>We’re excited to build our core team. The initial team will play a key role in the long term growth of the company.​P.S: Why the name Vellum? - Vellum is a type of paper - the Magna Carta was written on Vellum. We intend to be the standard source of record in production - You can’t spell Vellum without LLM 😉

What it means to be an early engineer: Joining Vellum this early means that you’re going to play a huge part in guiding both the technical and cultural evolution of the company. Together, we’re going to face the hardest technical challenges this journey has to offer head on. As the team grows, you’ll be the battle hardened expert that everyone looks towards for guidance. With great power comes great responsibility 🙂

About the role
What it means to be an early engineer

Joining Vellum this early means that you’re going to play a huge part in guiding both the technical and cultural evolution of the company. Together, we’re going to face the hardest technical challenges this journey has to offer head-on. As the team grows, you’ll be the battle hardened expert that everyone looks towards for guidance.

With great power comes great responsibility 🙂

What you’re signing up for
Tackling our most difficult (and interesting) problems - prompt chaining, fine-tuning infrastructure, and multimodality, just to name a few
Designing, architecting, and building robust critical infrastructure
Owning our most important backend systems
Defining and scoping green-field projects that move the company forward
Working closely with customers to understand what the need, figuring out how to make them successful, and owning the solutions end to end
Serving as a cultural pillar of the team
Navigating a fast-moving, highly competitive landscape
Our stack

In case you’re curious:

Google Cloud Platform - as our cloud provider
Postgres - as our primary database
Python - what we write our backend in
Django - for our webservers
Flask - for our microservices
Typescript - what we write our frontend in
React - as our frontend framework
Working at Vellum
We’re laser focused on helping companies bring AI into production and providing real business value. Decision making is simple: if what we do allows our users to increase how many use cases of AI they’re able to successfully put into production, then we do it!
Don’t just cut corners. Cut the right corners (i.e. reduce scope, not quality). What can you do with 10% of your time to get 90% of the desired impact? Now that you only spent 10% of the time on this task, imagine how much more can be done with the rest of your time!
Everyone is a 1000x engineer/designer/pm when they’re passionate about the problems they’re solving and love the people they’re working with
Because we trust each other, we can move fast and have fun doing it 😄
About Vellum

At Vellum, our mission is to be the primary platform companies use to bring AI into production. AI is the biggest technology shift since the internet – the applications of it are everywhere! We expect the world to be dramatically different in the future as foundation models get better and better. We intend to be the platform layer that brings this amazing technology to life in production use cases.

We enable companies to bring real business value from AI / LLMs. The output generated by AI / LLMs is usually stochastic and bringing AI into production requires robust testing and choosing the right model for the job. We’ve seen companies spend months of engineering time building good tooling for this (time which could be spent on their core end user facing product) yet despite this, they struggle to get the best results out of these models. Our platform provides companies best in class tooling to use their own data in production AI applications.

We’re a YC W23 company, raised $5m, and are backed by top investors like Rebel Fund, Eastlink Capital, Arash Ferdowsi (co-founder of Dropbox), Dharmesh Shah (co-founder of Hubspot), Dan Scholnick (board member of Weights & Biases, Docker, New Relic), and Divya Bhat (former YC group partner, 2x CEO). We announced our fundraise on TechCrunch here: https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/11/prompt-engineering-startup-vellum-ai/

P.S: Why the name Vellum?

Vellum is a type of paper - the Magna Carta was written on Vellum. We intend to be the standard source of record in production
You can’t spell Vellum without LLM 😉

Hightouch’s mission is to empower everyone to take action on their data. Through our Reverse ETL platform, business and data users can seamlessly sync data from where it resides, such as warehouses and databases, to where it is needed, including operational systems and SaaS tools. Traditionally, acting on data has required engineering time and bandwidth, and left most business users stuck with charts and reports that are unable to take automated action on their data. With Hightouch, every business user, without writing any code, can activate data to streamline critical processes, improve marketing performance, and scale operations. Our team operates with a focus on making a meaningful impact for our customers. We believe in approaching challenges with a first principles thinking mindset, moving quickly and embracing our value of efficient execution, and treating each other with compassion and kindness. We look for team members that are strong communicators, have a growth mindset, and are motivated and persistent in achieving our goals.Hundreds of companies use Hightouch, including Spotify, Ramp, Retool, NBA, Plaid, and Betterment. We’re based in San Francisco, are remote-friendly, and backed by leading investors such as Amplify Partners, ICONIQ Growth, Bain Capital Ventures, Y-Combinator, and Afore Capital.

VP of Engineering

Hightouch

We are looking for a distributed systems engineer to work on the systems that power the syncing engine our customers and other engineering teams rely on. This presents an exciting challenge where you can apply your expertise in distributed systems, performance optimization, and troubleshooting to push the boundaries of what is possible and meaningful improve our ability to move massive amounts of customer data. This role also provides a unique opportunity to work on a multi-cloud and multi-region infrastructure that supports a global customer base.We believe in enabling our engineers to do their best work for our customers by giving them extremely high levels of ownership and autonomy. This comes in different forms: you will own and deliver projects from start to finish, you will work directly with customers to solve their hardest scaling problems, and you will have a lot of influence over what we work on as a team and company.

About Hightouch

Hightouch’s mission is to empower everyone to take action on their data. Through our Reverse ETL platform, business and data users can seamlessly sync data from where it resides, such as warehouses and databases, to where it is needed, including operational systems and SaaS tools. Traditionally, acting on data has required engineering time and bandwidth, and left most business users stuck with charts and reports that are unable to take automated action on their data. With Hightouch, every business user, without writing any code, can activate data to streamline critical processes, improve marketing performance, and scale operations.

Our team operates with a focus on making a meaningful impact for our customers. We believe in approaching challenges with a first principles thinking mindset, moving quickly and embracing our value of efficient execution, and treating each other with compassion and kindness. We look for team members that are strong communicators, have a growth mindset, and are motivated and persistent in achieving our goals.

Hundreds of companies use Hightouch, including Spotify, Ramp, Grammarly, NBA, Plaid, and Betterment. We’re based in San Francisco, are remote-friendly, and backed by leading investors such as Amplify Partners, ICONIQ Growth, Bain Capital Ventures, Y-Combinator, and Afore Capital.

About the Role

Building upon Reverse ETL’s ability to use SQL to sync to any SaaS tool, Customer Studio is Hightouch’s second major product that provides a purpose-built no-code suite of features that enables anyone, regardless of their SQL experience, to activate data directly from their warehouse. Despite being a small team (3 engineers, 1 PM, 1 designer), Customer Studio is our fastest growing product and already accounts for nearly half of our revenue, which also gives this role the potential to have significant impact!

We’re looking to add a product-minded backend engineer to the team. The ideal candidate will be comfortable diving deep into backend and distributed systems and think holistically about architecture, scalability, maintainability, and reliability. We also are looking for someone with strong customer and product thinking and who feels comfortable writing and engaging with product specs.

Some of the problems we’ll be working on include:

Data Warehouse Performance: We’re consistently pushing the limits of what data warehouses can handle in terms of speed, performance, and interactivity. We explore optimizations generally (e.g. optimizing queries, storing pre-computed state), as well as investigate warehouse-specific improvements.
Analytics and Experimentation: How can Hightouch help customers build segments and decide what data they want to sync? How can we facilitate experimentation to downstream tools, including tracking the performance of different audiences?
Real-time Audience Syncing: Our users are always interested in faster syncing and fresher data. As warehouses become more real-time and adopt technologies like CDC, we’re excited to explore real-time audience computation and syncing.
Generative AI: We’re continuously working on making the user experience of acting on data more seamless, and are optimistic generative AI can enhance user workflows.

We are looking for talented, intellectually curious, and motivated individuals who are interested in tackling the problems above. This is a senior role, but we focus on impact and potential for growth more than years of experience. The salary range for this position is $170,000 - $240,000 USD per year, which is location independent in accordance with our remote-first policy.

Interview Process

Our interview process focuses on evaluating fit for the most important dimensions of the role: product sense, ability to architect backend and distributed systems, and alignment with Hightouch’s values. Notably, we don’t do any programming interviews as we believe they are low signal to noise and aren’t a good evaluation mechanism.

Intro Call [15-30m]: Introductory call with either a member of our recruiting team or the hiring manager to get to know each other and see if the role could be a good mutual fit.
System Design Screen [60m]: Designing a feature end-to-end, including touching the database, API, web frontend, and data warehouse.
Product Sense Interview [60m]: Coming up with potential product and feature ideas in response to customer requirements. Focuses primarily on product solutioning with some technical analysis in determining the feasibility of ideas.
System Design Interview [90m]: Work with the interviewer to architect a system at a conceptual level. The problem will be at a pretty high level - and have both product and customer requirements as well as technical.
Hiring Manager Interview [30m]: Chat with hiring manager about past experiences and future operating preferences to assess fit on company values and operating principles.
