Job description

About Rundoo ℹ
Our mission is to empower independent supply stores with best-in-class technology. Think of your local hardware store or mom-and-pop nursery-these are our clients. From paint to lumber to flooring, over 200,000 such stores across the country sell over $1T of building materials annually using outdated, on-premises systems. We're aiming to help them modernize so that they can continue to thrive.
Backed by leading investors including Bessemer and CRV, we've raised $18M across three rounds and are growing quickly. Our team is made up of builders, sellers, and industry veterans with a shared goal: to bring modern technology to an overlooked industry.

  • You are comfortable working in Python and using Git to track your work (~ 1 year of experience with these tools). We expect you to be familiar with Pandas and writing performant code (e.g. vectorized operations, parallel processing).
  • You document your work well, in a manner that support reproducibility of your work.
  • You are able to learn how to work with different APIs or tools on your own.

Bonus points
  • Experience in research environments using data to answer real-world problems.

Compensation
  • Salary: $1,200/week, 40hrs/week

Interview Process
  1. 20-minute screening call with Amanda - An initial conversation with our recruiter to get to know each other better.
  2. 30-minute introductory call with Amrit - A discussion about a past project, your working style, and your approach to problem-solving.
  3. 90-minute collaborative project session with Amrit - Partner on preparing a dataset to support data-driven decision-making.
  4. 15-minute final call (remote) - A closing conversation with our CEO.
About our founders
  1. Andrew (CTO): studied computer science & humanities at Stanford; worked as a software engineer and head of engineering at Apple & Anova; danced with the SF ballet (where he met his wife)!
  2. Nick (CEO): studied math & computer science at Stanford; worked as a trader at Bridgewater & Citadel and as a PM at Google & Enigma; distantly related to the founder of the Hershey company
