HN Jobs: MIT-featured startup needs a brilliant Developer (location: Bangalore)
You want to be a part of a product that has been featured by one of the most respected technology institutions in the world, and got rave reviews in many others?
You want to solve interesting and complex infrastructure, scalability and algorithmic challenges?
You want to work on a product where users say..? "Very rarely does a startup come along that I fall so madly in love with that it becomes a need-to-have staple in my life. Spotify did it for music, Mint did it for my personal finances, but Hachi has now done the same for the way I conduct business."
If yes, then read on!
You've built relationships over the years - across schools, casual meetings, organizations, geographic locations - seemingly without much overlap. And these relationships are spread across your various social and professional networks - Gmail, LinkedIn, Facebook, Outlook, Salesforce, Smartphone, Twitter, IMs.. Now, imagine if this maze of contacts could actually be leveraged? If you could use your entire network of existing contacts to get to someone new? Anyone new that you want to reach out to - for business, social or personal work.
Hachi ( http://www.gohachi.com ) helps you do that.
Hachi uses the most powerful matrix in your life. Your professional and social circle! It searches through all your professional and social networks to give you the smartest way to reach anyone you want. 'Smartest' is the key word here, because not only does Hachi give you all the possible paths to reach your target, but it also recommends the smartest of those paths, based on intelligence about you and your networks. It goes further to actually get you communicating with that target.
