ff Venture Capital - New York, NY - Web Engineer

Do you like to work with a wide range of technology? Are you interested in the inner workings of venture capital and startups? If so, you'll appreciate the opportunity to work side by side with our Director of Engineering on a slew of projects.

Who We Are

We are an early-stage venture capital fund based in Midtown Manhattan. Since 1999, we have made over 160 investments in more than 50 companies. We provide extensive resources dedicated to portfolio acceleration, including engineering, strategy, recruiting, accounting and public relations.

Who You Are

You should have a degree in computer science, something similar or equivalent experience. Strong JavaScript skills are required. Experience with Node.js gets you to the front of the line. It's easy to make things these days, so show us at least one live project.

What You'll Do

Currently, we have our hands in Python, Rails, Node and Docker, amongst other things. You will work on new and existing systems, both open source and proprietary, working up and down the full stack including UI and UX.

Two questions:

1. How do you get 40 million cards in a day from scraping RAM? Wouldn't it be limited to live transactions? 40m seems like a huge number of transactions for one day. An average ticket of $50 would make it a 2 billion dollar day.

2. Why does the card data need to be decrypted on the POS system? Why can't it be sent to a central service and decrypted there and an authorization code is sent back?

The two reasons I've heard are preventing accidental variable assignment and preventing null references. Personally, I don't think either of those things outweigh the readability issue.

Especially interesting considering the author of that article works at Microsoft

Congrats from ff, Tim! We're all looking forward to helping CardFlight grow.

Just tried to buy one and got an out of inventory message :(

UPDATE: Tried again and you can no longer add it to the shopping cart. Just says coming soon.

UPDATE 2: I'm a glutton for punishment so I tried again and it worked!

Correlation != causation

or your head :(

We're a funded team of ten in the Nomad area of NYC working on making social media easier for brands and marketers. We're looking for full-time help on the front-end. Some combination of code (HTML, CSS, JS) and visual design is necessary, but the exact ratio is open. Basically, we're looking to hire the most talented person, wherever you may fall on the dev/design spectrum. Back-end chops are a plus but not required.

Hey Luke. Always good to see another Mainer here. What town are you from?

Yeah, on number three now. Currently at Rallyverse in New York working on second generation social marketing tools. I'll hit you up on LinkedIn so we can stay in touch.

Hey William, I saw the name "From Holden" and knew right away this must be someone from Holden, Maine. I'm from Brewer and just wanted to say congrats on getting the ball rolling on your new venture. There aren't many people coming out of Central Maine doing this type of thing. Hats off.
