Ethyca is a Series A startup building data privacy tools for engineers. We have an existing product that helps companies automate GDPR/CCPA requirements, but I'm now building out multiple teams of engineers to focus 100% on free & open-source tools to solve difficult privacy engineering problems like: database analysis, PII classification, data pseudonymization, etc. We believe that privacy is currently an afterthought in the software development lifecycle and want to change that... to read more, see out recent HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27929233
If you're an experienced Python dev with some combination of privacy, OSS, security, or data eng experience, and you want to help make data privacy best practices accessible and pervasive, check out our open positions here:
Maybe for the "big" decisions (like whether or not to store user data in the first place), but I'd argue that in the myriad of small decisions (like whether to copy the entire user object into an analytics table or just a pseudonymized id) I do think the average dev isn't as "respectful" as you think...
Fair - but I'm not sure we've made it technically easy on ourselves as developers to be "respectful". Right now it's expected that a dev might understand enough about the myriad of privacy laws that might affect their company's tech, the policies the company has and then design models that always enforce that safely.
That seems a big ask - again, I agree with you that on the surface it might seem the average dev isn't as "respectful" as you'd think, but we should start by providing a set of tools/way of implementing privacy that make it feasible.
This is reminiscent of the early days of online shopping. When online shopping started to take off, the risk of having your credit card information stolen was higher than today. This was because credit cards were transmitted using the same means as other information at the time. That is, to say, insecurely. It wasn’t until later on that we began to see standards arise and libraries emerge that addressed the issue. This isn’t to say that the developers of the era didn’t care. They simply didn’t have the means to achieve what was needed. I think that we will see the same with data privacy in the future. Not every developer is a privacy expert and I don’t think that will ever be the case. Someone will come up with a set of tools accessible to every developer that will solve these issues in a standard way. I’ve seen it happen before and I’ll see it again. The old becomes new, history rhymes, etc etc.
Ethyca is an Series A startup building data privacy tools for engineers. Our core business is helping companies automate GDPR/CCPA requirements, but while doing that we've also been creating developer tools for things like database analysis, PII classification, data anonymization, etc. We believe these kinds of tools should be freely available to all devs, so I'm building a small team of Python developers to work full-time on open source projects in the data privacy space.

Pathgather | http://pathgather.com - ONSITE - New York, NY (NYC)
At Pathgather, we believe that the best learning experiences at work are the ones powered by employees. Our enterprise learning platform is used by some of the largest companies in the world like Capital One, HP, Visa and Qualcomm to help their employees find great learning content from any source, share knowledge with their peers, and track their progress towards career goals - and we've wrapped it all up into an experience that employees actually love to use.
We're expanding our product and engineering teams and are looking for an experienced product manager and QA engineer to join us to help make enterprise learning better.
Pathgather is a fully-funded enterprise learning SaaS startup (Techstars) focused on helping employees advance their careers by learning new skills. Our talent development platform is used by some of the largest companies in the world (HP, Visa, Qualcomm, etc.) to (1) aggregate learning content from both public (e.g. Udacity) and private (e.g. internal learning systems) catalogs, (2) empower employees to share what they're learning and mentor each other, and (3) track employee progress towards career goals. We've got real revenue, real customers, and a real opportunity to make learning better for employees everywhere. We're still small (~23 employees) but we're growing our product & engineering teams quickly and are adding positions across the spectrum.
Right now, we're focused on finding a great Product Manager to join the team. If you've got demonstrated experience (~4 years) managing great enterprise SaaS products, let's get in touch. Check out the job details below:
Additionally, if you're an experienced engineer (~4 years), are passionate about learning, and want to join a growing team, let's get in touch. Check out our careers page for details on other positions (https://jobs.lever.co/pathgather), or contact me (neville@pathgather.com, CTO) to get started. If you can, please include "Hacker News" in the subject line so I don't miss it - email is a pretty noisy communication protocol...
p.s. In the past, I haven't been great at responding to everyone, and I'm really sorry about that. I'll be paying closer attention to emails over the next few weeks to make sure I don't miss you this time around.
I see that you are looking for someone with 4 years of experience. I have 1 year of Product Management experience with a HR startup and also worked as a Microsoft Student Partner and Firefox Ambassador to work on their enterprise learning programs. Am I eligible to apply ?

Tried emailing the above email but never got a response back. I saw in your reply you didn't reply to some of the applicants last month because they were new college grads.
With that in mind, are y'all looking for someone with the skills to hit the ground running or someone who can learn on the job?
Yeah, last month wasn't great for me, busy chasing several things. Looking back, I didn't reply to 3 of the applications that came in via HN (excluding the recruiter spam, of course)
I don't really believe in canned responses for applications, though, which is why you didn't get one from me. In your case, it was either (1) you were remote, or (2/3) new grad from either college or bootcamp. As a small team we're not well setup to provide the mentorship I believe is crucial for new devs, which is why we're looking for a few years experience today.
I know it's hard on your end, though. Sorry you didn't hear back. I do try to reply to everyone, but I haven't been able to keep up, so maybe a canned response really would be better.

Pathgather is a fully-funded enterprise learning startup (Techstars '14) focused on helping employees at Fortune 500 companies advance their careers by learning new skills. Our platform is used by some of the largest companies in the world (HP, Visa, Qualcomm, etc.) to aggregate learning content from both public providers (e.g. Udacity, Pluralsight) and private catalogs (internal learning systems), empower their employees to share what they're learning (e.g. articles from HN), and track employee progress towards career goals. We've got real revenue, real customers, and a real opportunity to make learning better for employees everywhere.
We're looking for Backend and Frontend Engineers to join the engineering team. Our two teams interface via our GraphQL API; this means our frontend engineers can query exactly the data they need and our backend engineers can focus on more interesting problems than fetching data for views.
As a Backend Engineer, you'll leverage our PostgreSQL schema heavily to enforce our business logic via DB constraints, trigger functions, and all kinds of fun things... When you aren't designing database models, you'll be writing integrations with a variety of external services, working on our machine learning models, and - of course - LEARNING.
As a Frontend Engineer, you'll be tasked with implementing the "delight" our customers have grown to expect from our product. This means focusing on the right interactions and keeping everything clean, consistent, and reusable. React, of course, helps a ton for this.
If any of this sounds interesting, contact me (neville@pathgather.com, CTO) or apply to our careers link below!
