Texture | NYC or Remote (U.S.) | Full-time | Full Stack and Data Engineers
We are building a software platform to consolidate all of the energy data from the increasing network of energy devices that are out there (solar inverters, chargers, smart hvac systems, batteries, evs, and any other device that produces or consumes energy).
Texture is my 6th startup and I have seen the impact great developer tools have on industries and it was shocking to me that no such tool existed in the climate tech/energy space. Every company in this space is doing the same thing with their first year of resources, just building a team to build out integrations with devices. It feels like Fintech before Plaid with a whole industry held back due to lack of a great platform.
So we are building that and our hope is to bring the industry forward and not only empower and enable existing companies in the space, but also open the space to a new class of developers that have thus far been unable to take advantage of it due to lack of great systems and tooling.
tl;dr tmux has much easier configuration, it is more actively developed and maintained, and now (this isn't in my post) a richer add-on/plugin ecosystem
Extra is a consumer finance company on a mission to reinvent everyday banking tools for the next generation. Extra's first product, Extra Debit, is the first debit card that lets you build credit history and earn rewards back everywhere you swipe.
Today, there are over 100 million Americans who don't want, or can't get a credit card. Yet there are very few alternatives for establishing your credit other than with a risky Credit Card. Our mission is to make credit building safer, smarter and more accessible for everyone.
We are hiring across the board for dozens of Engineering positions (DevOps/SRE, Fullstack, Front End, Back End), TPMs, Product Managers, and more!

We don't charge any mortgage broker commission (eww, it's gross) we'll give you transparency into the mortgage process so you can configure loans to your hearts content to optimize for what you want on your own terms.
We also have a fleet of real estate Agents that can help you find your new home and currently we'll cut 1% of the purchase price off of your eventual mortgage at closing if you use one of our Agents https://better.com/realestate
You're in SF so I don't think we're live there yet with our cash offer program, but in case anyone else see this from other markets, we can make you a cash buyer https://welcome.better.com/cash-offer/
We are actively working to make the homeownership journey less painful and there's a lot more we'll do in the future but as is we're one of the main disruptors in the space
Happy to answer any questions since I do work for Better!
I used better for my first refinance, super easy to work with! I did have to use a different lender for a second refi since there seems to be a 6-month cooldown period (rates kept going down...)
My only recommendation for buyers is to do some cross-shopping, since it is pretty easy to compare different loan options. Lenderfi is good alternative. I have heard most lenders can generally match each other. Your credit will only take 1 hit when shopping for different mortgage lenders, at least for a certain time window.
You can shop around for various services (helpfully listed on the loan estimate as You can shop for..), but the most you can save is a few hundred $ there.
Lastly, you can ask to have no escrow for insurance and property tax! As long as you have discipline to pay the tax bill and home insurance once a year this makes it a lot easier, especially when you sell or refinance, since you don't have to wait weeks for the escrow to pay you back.
Better gave be the best loan terms I could find, however no seller would accept an offer with Better as the lender. I was told outright my offers were rejected because they did not recognize Better. After switching to a local loan agent associated with Guaranteed Rate my first offer was accepted.
The cash offer service is interesting but ultimately I think it disrupts in the wrong direction. The issue on the buying side is information asymmetry, not access to money.

Knotel is a fast growing commercial real estate startup that is inventing new ways to get things done in a traditional industry. Led by veteran founders, Knotel creates custom headquarters for companies without any of the headaches. Whether for 50 or 500 people, for 6 months or 6 years or more, Knotel provides businesses the flexibility and design they need in office space so they can focus on their work.
Most companies no longer maintain their own server hardware because AWS offers more flexibility and obviates the need to have hardware on-site and IT folks managing and maintaining uptime. At Knotel we think we can provide something similar for office space -- allowing companies to have the ability to scale up and down like cloud servers and freeing them from the responsibility of managing space by having to find people to take over their long leases, do space build outs, hiring their own with facilities management, etc.
As a result, we have a ton of interesting tech challenges all up and down the stack. We are working on a canonical data model for storing all of the information on spaces so we can increase operational efficiency and transparency across the company. We are building internal tools to increase our efficiency as a company. We are continuing to work on our data pipeline to ensure all data flows into our data warehouse so everyone across the company can report on their key metrics. We are integrating with hardware in the physical space to track information like usage, temperature, and we are figuring out solutions for smart access control. We're looking to use computer vision to understand office utilization and flow within the office.
In brief, we have a ton of interesting problems to solve.
We're growing our engineering team in NYC significantly, starting with some key roles.
