2020 Summer Full Stack Engineering Internship

Job Description

If you are interested please contact our Founder Jordan at (415) 797-4210 and e-mail your resume to jordan@whatsbusy.com

Company Profile
Society is producing increasing volumes of data yet brick and mortar has not kept up with the opportunities. That’s not only troubling for your main street merchant, but also for the multi billion-dollar industries that surround the brick and mortar ecosystem: suppliers, distributors, utility operators, real estate funds, and others.

WhatsBusy is the offline point of sale (POS) data monopoly. Really. We access petabytes of POS data from tens of thousands of merchants and proprietary data from the card networks (think Visa, Mastercard, AMEX) and are using intelligent, prescriptive analytics built on the back of data science to solve these challenges. From helping merchants better allocate labor to giving Budweiser insights on what promotions to run, we’re providing much needed modernization to an industry (offline commerce) that’s arguably stuck in the middle ages.

Why You Shouldn’t Apply
You thrive in environments with zero accountability and negligible execution. You like punching the clock from 9-5 and not a minute more. You want to work on “problems” that are already solved and a guaranteed roadmap 10 years out. Titles are important.

Why You Should Apply
You hate predefined roles based on your age / “experience”. You hate micromanagement. You like building new industries from the ground up. You love learning and being around experts. You are a self-starter. You want to create something important and think too many startups are pointless (how about Uber for mustache combs?). You love data and believe its intelligent application is the future.
