Fathom – AI Notetaker (fathom.ai)

YC W'21, ~100 employees, growing extremely quickly

We’re the most installed app on HubSpot marketplace and our recent Fathom 3.0 launch was #1 on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/products/fathom

We’re hiring for both our Full Stack Engineer and AI team.

Our team values: Care Deeply, Seek Leverage, Share Ownership, Sustain Urgency, and Be Tenacious.

The engineering team works fully remotely (but synchronous), and our AI team is Hybrid (SF based). Multiple team offsites per year.

List of all of our open positions (including role descriptions for AI engineering roles and Full Stack Engineer) here: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/fathom.video

* We’re very fast at reviewing applications; yours will be seen within 48 hours of submission! Please indicate that you’re coming from Hacker News.*

This is an extremely onerous application process, probably the most so that I've ever seen. While I'm interested in the role, I won't be doing all of that during phase zero before any human has indicated interest in my skills. Just some feedback.

  • It's kind of weird that I have to install their app on my computer, but recording a short video isn't that big of a deal, IMO.

    That said, madiganf: I'd recommend poof-reading that Google Doc in the job posting. There were some malformed sentences. EDIT: Huh, looks like the doc has been edited and the questions themselves have changed a bit. :-)

    • I have to sign up for an account that only accepts Google or MS login (no I am not giving company I've never heard of this info), download an app (does it work on Linux? I have to make an account to find out!), record a fairly in depth video of myself for some reason just to apply for a job. In-demand people don't jump through all these hoops. It's a negative signal, as the company, if you even receive an application at that point.
