CircleUp - San Francisco & Remote [US]. Hiring full stack software engineers that love Python & the web.
CircleUp is building an online investment marketplace that helps non-tech consumer & retail businesses raise the capital they need to expand. These are companies selling products such as greek yogurt, granola bars, energy drinks, footware, athletic gear, baby food, pet care, cosmetics-- something you might buy in a Whole Foods or Costco. Venture Capital firms don't invest in these categories, and these deals are still too early-stage for traditional private equity. So these entrepreneurs struggle to raise the money that would help them keep up with demand; at the same time, many investors could benefit from the returns of this asset class, if only it could be made easily accessible.
We have been named one of the Top 5 Most Disruptive companies in Finance by CNBC, one of America's Most Promising Companies by Forbes, and one of the 50 Best Fintech Innovators by KPMG. We are backed by top-tier investors including Google Ventures & Union Square Ventures.
Our stack is Python (Django) + AngularJS. We use some exciting applications of Machine Learning in Python.
We are 11 engineers and growing fast. Half the engineering team is in SF, half is remote (distributed across the US). We're looking for smart generalists that never stop learning, like working full stack, and are excited to have some impact on the economy outside of silicon valley tech.
