Y Combinator has a small ~4 person team in San Francisco that build all the software that runs YC. We don't hire for this team very often, but we're looking to hire a couple of people now. We last posted on this thread about a year ago, and successfully found someone who now works on the current team, so we're trying it again.
Despite our small size, we're in charge of a number of important products. We run the software that powers YC's application process, software that almost every investor in silicon valley uses (https://blog.ycombinator.com/investor-day-software/), and Bookface, a private community site that is very actively used by YC founders. This year we launched two big new projects - Startup School (http://startupschool.com/) and Work at a Startup (http://workatastartup.com/). Those new projects are going very well - we have over 26K founders signed up for Startup School - and we want to double down on them.
An unusual aspect of being on the YC software team is that you'll get full access to the YC program, founders and partners - from our dinner talks to demo day. You'll learn the ins and outs of how YC works, and you'll get to know and learn from hundreds of companies. If you want to start a startup someday, working at YC would be an excellent jumping off point.
We also offer highly competitive compensation and benefits, including equity in YC's portfolio. You can read more and apply here: http://bit.ly/1Od0T2l. You can also email me with any questions: jared@ycombinator.com
