Originate is a unique Venture Software firm that builds startup technology in exchange for equity.
We’re working on 8-10 different startups at any given time and 20% of the equity that Originate takes in any new venture is shared with the engineers working on the projects. Everyone shares in the upside by building a portfolio of equity based holdings. We offer a start-up atmosphere and equity upside without the end-game failure (and 100% of your eggs in one basket) that is so likely at most new ventures.
Tech stacks are primarily RoR, Scala, Android and iOS.
Engineering team is outstanding and we are 85 people (60 engineers) across 5 offices.
Originate is hiring in SF, LA, NYC, Sunnyvale and Vegas.
We're hiring smart people, no seriously, that's the only criteria... oh yeah, and gets stuff done. Helps if you're cool too :-)
Tech stacks are RoR, Scala, Java, Node.JS, iOS and Android.

As an engineer at Originate, I'd like to jump in and say I appreciate the extremely flexible working environment (location, times, and vacation are all quite flexible).
If you have any questions about what it's like to work here as an engineer, let me know.
Hi Yankoff,
This discussion came up on a Google Alert for "Originate Labs" and I'm in charge of Corp Dev for both our San Mateo and Los Angeles offices.
What you are looking to do is what we do at Originate every day and we use primarily RoR in addition to mobile development. If you're interested in chatting about employment with Originate now or in the future (maybe when you get your OPT), we can certainly help you develop your entrepreneurial aspirations within the confines of a stable incubator type company.
My email is rob.mallery (at) Originatelabs (dot) com if you want to send a resume or your contact info.
