The team currently consists of Ben Hamlin and Maya Tobias—both 2014 graduates of UC-Berkeley’s Full-Time MBA program. We launched our minimum viable product in mid-January – see here: http://www.localwisejobs.com.

We’ve achieved the following since our launch: • 1500+ applications • 10 partnerships with colleges to source applicants • Jobs and applications both rising over 100% month-over-month • Interest from prominent institutional investors • “Best Overall Team” at NSF/UC-Berkeley’s Innovation Corps Program • Admitted to SkyDeck, UC-Berkeley’s premier accelerator

We seek a technical partner to help Localwise execute a much grander vision. We aim to completely reengineer the process by which local businesses hire part-time employees. Today, both applicants and employers hate the cover letter/resume driven approach. We seek to replace the status quo with algorithms that predict quality job-to-applicant matches. Our model is inspired by principles from online dating and machine learning.

Our ideal candidate has the following characteristics: • Full-stack web developer • Experience in: (i) building and deploying web-based platforms (ii) databases (iii) machine learning • Keen attention to detail • Passion for local communities • Extremely hardworking, yet fun to hang out with

We are flexible about the language, database, and platform that will be used, so this is a great opportunity for someone who wants creative freedom. We are happy to award the position of CTO and/or technical co-founder the right person!

If you’re interested in learning more about the position, please contact Ben Hamlin at benjamin.g.hamlin@gmail.com.

We look forward to hearing from you! — Ben + Maya, Team Localwise
