Embed.ly (YC W10)

We make an API for embedding all kinds of content from the web.

Think of sharing a link on Facebook or Google+; that's the basic functionality that we've been providing to our users. We're more than that, though, and we're looking for a couple people to help us take it to the next level.

We're hiring for two positions right now:

Front-end Engineer:

We want someone who is in to javascript, HTML, CSS, and maybe a bit of photoshop. We've grown our API, but our customer-facing site is lagging a bit. Specifically we want to present our analytics data in a better way. We've got more in the pipe, of course, but details are sparse for now.

Natural Language Processing / Machine Learning Engineer:

As I mentioned above, we're looking to take our API to the next level. NLP/ML is going to be a large part of this. We have access to a fantastic amount of data, and we want someone to help us leverage it.

Right now we have some NLP/ML stuff dealing with textual content extraction. We want to do some semantic analysis and categorization to come up with information that is useful to our customers.

Our team is still small, fewer than 10 people, so you'll mostly be doing your own driving when it comes to your projects.

Despite the small team, we have a serious customer base, and are actually making money.

We aren't able to sponsor candidates from outside the US, sorry.
