john_zettler··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2016)
Commandiv | Software Engineer (front-end focused for now) | NYC | Onsite

Commandiv has built a stock-trading application with zero commissions and actionable investment advice. We're halfway between Robinhood and Betterment.

I come from the hedge fund world and wrote the advisory algos. My partner & CTO has 20yrs of Wall St software engineering experience and previously cofounded and built a similar product.

We are hiring a front-end expert to implement our UXUI designer's full set of production-ready mockups.

This is an Employee #1 position and comes with the generous equity package you would assume! :)

john_zettler··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2016)
Commandiv | CTO & CoFounder | NYC

Hey friends, John here - I am the CEO of Commandiv (My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnzettler). I am a financial engineer who left the hedge fund world to make investing easier for self-directed investors. I am actively looking for a software engineering partner. Ping me at john (at) commandiv (dot) com if you're interested in learning more.

Hiring process: meet in person or video chat; I will demo for you the Alpha product (and build you a personalized portfolio down to the tickers & # of shares to buy); we can go from there...

About Commandiv: Commandiv is an over-the-top investment advisor for self-directed investors. Users get value from: 1) Robo-Assist trade recommendations (all advisory/backtesting algos fully developed); 2) full control over their investments; 3) and account consolidation of all their liquid investments. We are not a broker-dealer and don’t want to be. We plug into broker-dealer APIs and earn money from BD-paid referral fees, and user-paid advisory fees (25bps of AUM).

Initially, we are targeting educated, employed 26-45-year-olds who have $5-100k in cash external to their employer-sponsored retirement plans. This target customer knows little about investing; she is self-directed and has done preliminary research; and she craves a one-stop shop to learn, build trust, and get invested. In order to acquire customers at greater scale, we will use a Learning Platform (think: Duolingo / TurboTax) to drive account creation (curriculum fully developed).
