Hey! This sounds super fun, I’d be happy to talk about maybe joining or maybe you have recommendations for similar orgs that I might want to look at
Specifically
marketplaces are close to my heart. I live in Israel, and when we got reasonable Amazon deliveries (within “only” 1-2 weeks), this improved things here so much imo. Also we have a lame taxi app which is still so-much-better than nothing (it does have ratings!). Each such thing helps so much (it’s a topic I could talk a lot about) - and we’re a 1st world country! I can’t even imagine what’s going on in Kenya, but I can feel (without trusting statistics) that it would be significant
I love that you’re talking to your users! So neglected!
My own skillset is mainly around software, and specifically I think I’m better at early stages of startups than at growth stages (which I’ve never done), I don’t really know how well I’d fit here but I’m at least curious. Here’s my CV.
Also, if you don’t publish jobs on the 80k job board then I recommend you do. It’s the hub that many people (including me [1] [2]) refer EA devs to—to find an impactful job. Sometimes very senior people (which are almost unhirable) look for jobs there, I think it might be an amazing way for you to find very-capable (and also probably very-good-culture-fit) people to join.
P.S
Thanks for posting this! It also reminded me I know someone else doing a similarish job, maybe they’ll write something for career week too :)
Hi Yonatan, thank you so much for the super kind words! I had not thought at all about posting on the 80k hours board—I will talk with our HR person about if she thinks that makes sense. I’d love to talk with you—I’ll DM you
