Triplebyte

Triplebyte intelligently matches engineers with companies using a completely background blind technical evaluation and matching process. Our approach lets companies find great engineers who would have failed a resume screen. Engineers save time as they are fast tracked directly to the final on-site interview at companies when they apply through Triplebyte.

We're an experienced team, the founders who have all built and sold companies before. Ammon and Guillaume founded Socialcam (acquired by Autodesk for $60 million) and Harj was the first partner hired at Y Combinator since its founding. You can read more about us here: http://triplebyte.com/press and on our blog at http://blog.triplebyte.com.

We've seen a lot of success and growth, we're a profitable company and work with some of the biggest technology companies in the world including Facebook, Apple, Dropbox and Stripe. Our investors include Paul Graham and Jessica Livingston (founders of Y Combinator), Sam Altman (President of Y Combinator) and Drew Houston (CEO of Dropbox).

Role

Every engineering candidate who applies to Triplebyte is put through a technical evaluation with two parts:

(1) An online programming test

(2) A technical interview done with an engineer over Google Hangouts.

We're looking for technical writers who can both write clearly and understand general technical, computer science terms even if you're not an engineer. You'll be responsible for taking technical interview notes and using them to create candidate profiles which we send to companies. This is a contract role, which can be done remotely and part-time.

Our Mission

We believe strongly in building a truly meritocratic, unbiased process for finding great talent. Even the best technology companies today still use where people went to college as a proxy for intelligence and ability. We're building a process that looks only at ability, not credentials, so we can have a future where everyone can focus on just learning and being good at what they do, not how they look on paper.

Every aspect of running a company has been improved over the last decade, except hiring. Most decisions are still made using amorphous terms like "gut feel" or "culture fit". They should be made using crisp data. Only a company specializing on this problem, using data collected from the hiring process at hundreds of companies, can solve it. That's the company we're building. Our mission is creating a scientific method for identifying great talent and intelligently routing it to the best place. Starting with software engineers.
