Ruby Developer in Palo Alto

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:17:26 GMT

We're looking for two Ruby enthusiasts to help us build new products and platforms and to expand the functionality of our structured-wiki CrunchBase. Our ideal dev / hackers have:  Ruby, Ruby on Rails experience (six months +). Experience with web applications connected to a relational database. Computer Science degree (preferred).

In addition to CrunchBase, we plan to develop other information-based products and services for the TechCrunch platform and community.

Want to work for TechCrunch?

Founded on June 11, 2005, TechCrunch, is a weblog dedicated to obsessively profiling and reviewing new Internet products and companies. Today TechCrunch is the most popular technology weblog on the Internet and is ranked #2 on the Technorati 100.

TechCrunch is very much a startup. The culture is fast paced and dynamic with a significant amount of exposure to other startups in the technology industry. We throw big events including movie screenings, our annual August Capital party, and TechCrunch50.

TechCrunch is building a small but intense team of web developers to work on CrunchBase, our online database of startup, investor and entrepreneur information. CrunchBase attempts to structure the world of tech companies; it aggregates funding, acquisitions, products, people, investors, and offices via mashups and user-submitted data. We're all about opening up our data as much as possible; we recently launched an API that's taking off and gives developers easy integration and complete access to CrunchBase. Since its inception, CrunchBase has grown into one of the largest structured wiki deployments on the net (and unofficially one of the top 50 trafficked Rails sites).

Director of Student Loan Operations in New York

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:17:26 GMT

People Capital (http://www.people2capital.com) was founded in 2008 by a team of world-class talent with backgrounds in student loans, consumer finance, credit ratings and new media to develop the next generation of credit risk management and funding for student financing.

Built on research developed in The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania Insurance Department, the Human Capital Score™(http://www.humancapitalscore.com) combines credit-risk tools and metrics to give insight into each borrower's future potential. Using merit data such as GPA, standardized test scores, college and major it provides a true, unbiased measure of the economic value of an education that empowers students to make better educational decisions and offers multiple advantages for both borrowers and lenders.

Our peer-to-peer lending platform focuses solely on providing legally compliant private student loans in the form that students need – short-term, long-term, balloon and consolidation. It is far more than just “hanging out a shingle”; it is dedicated to providing a full range of student loan products and features, e.g., enrollment verifications, disbursements directly to schools, credit risk tools, etc..

We generate volume/liquidity by attracting institutional sources of capital, rather than relying solely on peer-to-peer’s “traditional sources”, i.e., individual lenders/investors. We are attractive to Financial Institutions who want to invest in the student loan space, but find the only current option (student loan ABS) unattractive due to lack of transparency and lack of insightful, granular credit risk tools. We are also attractive to Philanthropic/Affinity Groups who are interested in finding candidates that match their philanthropic objectives. Our platform helps them stimulate educational choices by “loans” rather than “donations” and thus allowing their investment funds to be replenished over time.

This is a complex legal and IT space. We have developed the roadmap for a legally compliant, Web 2.0 platform that will appeal to diverse lending segments across the spectrum of retail and institutional lenders.

Position Overview:

Responsible for working closely with SVP of Operations to develop and document all Operational processes . This position will have day to day responsibility for all Operational work processes including, but not limited to: the evaluation, audit and streamlining of operational processes, compliance with established policies and procedures, business metrics, and use of technology.

Initially, this position is responsible to work with other business units and management in the design, development, and implementation of workflow processes, including the development of detailed work flow diagrams, identification of operational gaps between the system and required workflow processes, while developing proposed solutions to fill the gaps with technology or staffing requirements
