PayGarden | Full-stack | SF | Full Time | ONSITE (preferred, sponsor visa) + REMOTE (some positions)
What: With PayGarden merchants can accept major brand gift cards as payment - imagine Stripe, but instead of credit cards, your customers can pay with Starbucks, Walmart, Amazon (& 100 more) gift cards.
See our partnership with Watsi [0] turning major brand cards into life-changing healthcare for people, or Private Internet Access [1] making VPN payment anonymous.
How: Our systems handle millions of dollars, built primarily with Clojure/Script & a dash of Rust.
Us: If you've ever done any work with Clojure, you've likely seen someone from our tiny, incredibly high-leverage team of Xooglers & YC alumni. We've:
- contributed to the cljs compiler [2],
- built cool open-source Clojure/Scripts apps [3],
- given [4] dozens [5] of talks [6] on [7] fun and cutting [8] edge development
- run the #sfcljs & ReasonDojo meetups
You: Love working with others, taking ownership over business concerns while jumping into other parts of the stack to help out. An internal drive to continuously improve, while remaining humble.

Dark | Frontend engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Designer | Early Stage | Full-time | San Francisco | Onsite
We're making coding 100x easier, allowing you to build scalable backend services in minutes/hours rather than weeks/months. We do this by removing as much accidental complexity as possible from building software, esp around infrastructure, deployment, and APIs. More at https://darklang.com.

• Phase: Trying it out with first users (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16803189). So quite early, definitely pre-product/market-fit, so you’ll be heavily influencing the product.
