About You.com

You.com is the world’s first open search engine platform that summarizes the web for users, with no ads, superior privacy choices, and personalization through preferred sources.

You.com is more than just a new search engine — it’s a movement to make the internet a place of trust, facts, and kindness — our guiding principles that we’re committing to from day one.

It’s an audacious goal, but we’re ambitious people. We’re looking for a few more ambitious folks to join our team. We’re not just wide-eyed dreamers – we’re pragmatic doers, too. Our founder and CEO, Richard Socher previously started an AI company called MetaMind. Salesforce acquired the company, and Richard became Chief Scientist, leading the company’s AI efforts. Prior to MetaMind, Richard received the best Ph.D. thesis award from Stanford for his groundbreaking work on deep learning. Bryan McCann, co-founder and CTO, is a scientist and philosopher who led natural language processing teams at Salesforce after completing his Master’s in C.S. at Stanford. Our founding team members have built companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars and scaled software to serve millions of users. For fun, we run marathons, paramotor, write poetry, read Latin, hike, and camp in the middle of nowhere. If this sounds intriguing, say hello!

You flourish in a dynamic, ever-changing, and deadline-driven environment. You are a natural collaborator and a phenomenal communicator, developing and presenting design ideas in a large team environment. You should be a self-starter, self-motivated, work independently, and perform multiple tasks under minimal supervision. The work you design will be seen and experienced by millions of people worldwide every day.

Requirements: To apply, you must have the right expertise and education, a web-based portfolio, a resume, and a cover letter.
