# About DayDream

We help dentists get paid for the work they do. In this $165B market, our product simplifies the complex process of verifying insurance coverage, submitting claims, appealing denials, billing patients, and maintaining clean books. As a result of how complex this process is and how many things get lost in the process, dentists can lose 10-20% of their revenue!

What this leads to is the things patients hate about the American healthcare system: it’s **inefficient, unaffordable, and just too d*mn confusing**. We work with a lot of dentists and they don’t love it either. Dentists want to treat you, help you, and see you smile. 

We believe that by automating parts of revenue cycle management, we increase financial transparency for everyone involved - patients, providers, and help support small business owner dentists across America.

- Build and maintain user facing interfaces for our customers and internal billing team

- Help define product strategy and prioritization
- Help shape engineering culture and ideally

## Traction: Our First 6 Months

- We process over $3M in insurance claims every month
- Currently over $100k MRR ($1.2M run rate) and on track to double MRR in the next few months
- Serve over 50 dental practice locations across America
- Raised $2.5M from Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross through [AI Grant](https://aigrant.com/)
    - [Nat Friedman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nat_Friedman): former CEO of GitHub, helped launch GitHub CoPilot. Investor in companies like: Figma, Stripe, Retool, Scale AI, Vercel, Perplexity, Streamlit, and more
    - [Daniel Gross](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Gross_(entrepreneur)): youngest partner at YCombinator, Times 100 Most Influential People in AI. Investor in companies like: Instacart, Coinbase, Airtable, Rippling, Notion, [Character.ai](http://Character.ai)

## Requirements:

- Full Stack engineer

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.

**Product-focused engineer needed**: Strong communicator with top school background, great design sense, high energy. Experience with high ownership companies (e.g., Palantir). Responsibilities: fast product shipping, full lifecycle ownership, growth-driven engineering. Location: San Francisco. On-site. Visa sponsorship available. Salary: $130k-$200k.

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).

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.

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

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 😄
