Rinse ( http://www.rinse.com ) - San Francisco, CA (REMOTE a possibility if you live in a major US city)

Rinse is a very early-stage startup (we are only 6 people currently) looking to bring technology to the dry-cleaning industry. The industry is ripe for innovation! We're building mobile apps, tackling scheduling and dispatch problems, and scaling a service at over 10% week-on-week growth for over 6 months now! I know 'app for laundry' is a tech cliché right now, but we're definitely encountering real demand. The problem is real, and we're solving it.

The team is very strong, with an HBS grad who grew up in a dry-cleaning family heading cleaning operations, a Stanford GSB grad with direct consumer startup experience heading customer acquisition, and a former Army Ranger managing our driver corps. I'm Stanford CS/EE, have built a few teams at various startups, and am just starting to build the technology and team to support this (very viable) business. The tech stack is Heroku / Python / Django / Celery / Phonegap / JQuery / Backbone / Twilio currently, but obviously there is plenty of opportunity to influence technology decisions early on, and plenty of opportunity to learn new technologies as well. We expect the next couple of hires to own entire new efforts, and have their hands in wide-ranging parts of our entire business.

We're looking for a Full-Stack Developer to develop interactivity for our customers and tools for our staff. We're doing things like route scheduling and planning, e-commerce funnel optimization, and analytics gathering for data-driven decision making.

We're also looking for a Director of Marketing. Rinse is a quintessential B2C business, with plenty of opportunities for online advertising, offline collateral, partnerships, and 'growth hacking.' We're building a scalable business model and the technology to support it, now help us scale the business. Please see a job description at http://bit.ly/1dLJigo - The sky's the limit!

Finally, if anyone in San Francisco is looking to make a few extra dollars part-time, Rinse is hiring part-time Associates to help us deliver clothes. We pay $25 per hour for a handful of hours per week. Perhaps it would be a way for some of you bootstrapping startups to earn a little extra cash?
