MixRank (YC S11) | Software Engineers | 100% REMOTE (Global) | Full-Time
MixRank processes petabytes of data every month from web crawling. We have hundreds of customers using our data products including Google, Amazon, Facebook, Intel, and Adobe, across industries including Finance, Recruiting, Sales, Marketing, and Security.
We’re a fully-remote company with a global footprint in over 20 countries. We're growing, profitable, employee-owned, no dependence on outside funding. Applicants from all geographies and backgrounds are welcome.
We are looking for passionate individuals for whom programming is not just a job but it’s something they love to do. We're obsessed with computers, programming, big data, databases, compilers, hardware, math, data science, and the internet. Does this sound like you? Please apply to join our team.
Our code base is very friendly to new contributors. You'll have a fully-functional development environment within hours (fully automated) and be pushing commits on your first day. Deployments to production happen multiple times per day and finish in less than 2 minutes. Effectively all of our codebase is written in Python, Rust, SQL, Javascript/TypeScript, and Nix. The core technologies you'll need familiarity with to be productive are Python, PostgreSQL, Linux, and Git.
We operate at a larger scale than typical startups. We operate two datacenters with high performance servers we've built that are capable of dealing with the volumes of data we process. We've implemented our own distributed file system. We do full-scale web crawls. We download and perform static analysis on the entire universe of Android APKs and iOS IPAs that are published. Unlike a typical startup where you'll spend half of your time in meetings, and the other half fixing bugs from Jira tickets— at MixRank you'll get to challenge yourself with difficult technical problems that will help you to grow as an individual.
We're hiring continuously for the positions below— they aren't singular positions that will close once filled. Our philosophy on hiring is that the candidate is more important than the position. For each new member of the team, we design a custom role and responsibilities that are specialized to their interests. Other companies will come up with a long list of specific requirements for a position with the expectation that you'll exactly replace someone from the team, or that you'll be the perfect tetris piece that satisfies the job requirements decided by a committee. MixRank is more pragmatic: we'll first get excited about having a unique individual on the team, then we'll figure out the best way to accommodate their specific talents.

I'm Scott, Founder/CEO/CTO. Please apply here: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/mixrank/jobs
There's a listing for "Junior Software Engineer", but I don't see anything for "Software Engineer" or "Ex-founder" on the page you linked. And the salary ranges seem implausibly low, at least for Americans.
The low-end salary on most of those positions is below the US federal minimum wage. I realize the company is hiring "global" candidates, but if what you really mean is "candidates from outside the US, Canada, or Europe", that's unusual enough that you should be calling it out.
It's even worse. Let's assume good faith and assume the below is a typo that will be immediately rectified:
In the USA, this is below the poverty line, and less than what you make wiping down floors in a fast food burger place off the highway in a shady part of town with no health insurance.
My optimistic hope when reading their salaries is that they posted a monthly value instead of annual. If the values are in fact annual then the execs are completely delusional.
Can't be. Nobody would ever pay n entry level data center technician in Dallas $30k per month either. It's bizarre. You'd have to hire exclusively felons without high school degrees to be able to command such a low wage.
This is a part-time position, expected to be concurrent with full-time employment or higher education. It's paid hourly and the salary range was defined based on expected number of hours, estimated about 1/10 to 1/5 of a full-time position (there's no way to define hourly compensation in that form field, and the number of hours isn't known exactly ahead of time).
We get some good candidates when the low end isn't too high because some people are just starting their career, are looking for internships, or are humble. We've hired some very talented people that come in with low expectations, and then we're able to calibrate them upwards.
Salaries vary widely around the world, as you know, and we hire in almost all countries. We have team members in 22+ countries, including US and EU. If you tried hiring globally I expect you'll find many talented people won't apply for your positions if the salary range is too far out of their expectations.
Hi, could you guys please reply to job applications. I had applied in April and up to now I haven't received even a rejection email.
Apologies. I'll double check with the team and figure out why you didn't receive a response.
The comment above is spam, ghost jobs. Don't bother applying.
The evidence is in the poster's history [1].
That same post has been bot-generated for more than 1 year, verbatim, with the exact same words.
It is just impossible they can't find candidates for these positions at all this time.
You'll also see lots of people complaining they never got an answer from their applications.
Just protect your privacy and personal information and don't apply.

I assure you that I am not a bot (it feels absurd having to respond to that accusation). I also assure you that we are hiring and filling positions. Someone joined the team yesterday, another is joining on Monday, and an offer is going out today.
I'm open to constructive feedback (email in profile), but otherwise I'm at a loss of how to respond to this.
I'm sorry, 10-30k? Is that a yearly salary in USD? LOL
