YOU
You're wicked smaht and get sht done with minimal supervision. You're familiar with web technologies, databases and can get nice 'n comfy on both the front end and back end. You write code because it's frackin' fun. You like to say words like "frack".
THE ROLE
We're looking for someone to build out the infrastructure that enables us to make clothing a solved problem for the awesome man. You'll fundamentally shape the matching algorithms that help us figure out what clothes a certain guy will love. You'll build out internal dashboards so we can obsessively monitor the crazy highs and teary-eyed lows of our company's key metrics. You'll release code that makes our heart skip a beat, break things that make our blood boil, and then we'll all argue and make up.
PERKS
Lunch is provided every day, as are office snacks (but keep your hands off my Annie's Bunny Grahams). We also have medical and provide a monthly Unlimited Ride Metrocard.
GIDDY UP
Send us your resume at [email protected] along with anything that highlights your ability to get sht done (github, open source work, sample code).
We also don't charge your card until you decide to keep the clothes we send.
1) Sizing/Fit: A medium in brand X can be very different than brand Y. So you never end up knowing if what you're getting is actually going to fit or not until it arrives at your door.
2) What to get: There's a tremendous number of brands out there with different styles/patterns/cuts etc. What's the best style that's going to accentuate your look? What cool brands are out there? It's nearly impossible to know these things unless you devote a significant amount of time to reading up/learning fashion.
3) Taking the time out to buy stuff. Certainly this is better online than offline, but shopping online certainly requires a mental-tax and context-switching that I'd pretty much rather avoid.
We thought it would be awesome if clothes that look good and fit great just magically appeared every month and so we're trying to solve that problem with Bombfell.com.
