Original posting

Rinse - San Francisco - Full Time – Technical Lead (VP of Engineering) Rinse (www.rinsenow.com) is creating a seamless dry cleaning & laundry experience through a combination of technology, incredible customer service, and strong back-end partnerships (an easy way to think about it is as an "Uber" for dry cleaning). We launched service in May, have generated revenue since day 1, are well capitalized, and are building our customer base and team fast. We are looking for a TECHNICAL LEAD to help us build an incredible company. What does that mean? - You are excited to join a start-up at the ground floor and HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT within the first couple months; - You CRAVE FREEDOM TO OPERATE and decide how you want to build the core technology that supports the business; - You LOVE BEING HANDS ON when it comes to development, but also HAVE THE ABILITY TO RECRUIT and manage a world-class team of engineers; - You WANT A SEAT AT THE TABLE...you want your voice heard in major strategic discussions and board meetings...and you want to contribute with way more than just beautifully written code; - You have a Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science from a leading institution. Who are we? - We are led by two co-founders (Ajay Prakash and James Joun) with substantial experience in start-ups, dry cleaning, and consumer focused companies; - We have a strong group of advisors, including a Technical Advisor who has substantial experience in start-ups, is a former CTO, and is currently a Senior Software Engineer at Google; - We plan to invest heavily in technology to streamline business operations, in addition to having a world-class consumer-facing mobile application; - Are based in SF, which is where we have initially launched…but our ambitions extend well beyond the Bay Area; - Are moving quickly, are well capitalized, and want someone who will come in and hit the ground running. We are looking for someone who is strong technically but who can also be a leader and culture carrier for Rinse. The right person will be granted a substantial equity stake, cash compensation, and will have the chance to help build an amazing company from the ground up.
