RINSE | REMOTE or San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, New York City, New Jersey, Seattle, Austin, Toronto, or Washington DC - INTERNATIONAL OK | QA Engineer | Full-Time | Salary: $40k-$100k USD | https://www.rinse.com

Rinse provides dry cleaning and laundry delivery services to customers in twelve metropolitan areas in the US and Canada. We have sophisticated logistics optimization software, a polished consumer product, and firm business fundamentals. We're now over a decade old - this is a stable, yet consistently growing and innovating, company.

Our engineering team is distributed across the United States and internationally, and has been entirely remote for years now, but a desk can be provided in the above cities if you'd prefer.

As our QA Engineer, you'll assist in improving the quality of Rinse's software, which services our customers, valets, vendors, and warehouse personnel. You'll be involved in the full project lifecycle, from idea through documentation and feedback. You'll also drive software quality through testing, collaboration, and documentation.

We're a tiny team tackling big problems, so our technical staff enjoys considerable autonomy, flexible schedules, and ambitious projects with clear and meaningful impact on our business.

This season, we're particularly interested in new grads or junior engineers, to round out the team. You will join a high-caliber team where collaboration, honesty, and open communication are at the core of everything we do.

Hi, The role seems to be great fit for me. I just applied. Please do take a look at my profile and reach out to me if you any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you


Hi Sam, I just applied. I'm a full stack engineer working with Python, React, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL at a mortgage tech startup where I built a state machine for application lifecycle management and an AI agent system. I'm especially interested in the logistics optimization and automation work. Looking forward to connecting.


How much of the routing is real-time re-optimization vs batch overnight?


Hi @samcheng. Role sounds a perfect fit for me. Just applied. Hopefully I'm not too late.


Would love to apply but there is no option to select remote/international on your careers page.

Edit: Oops, I clicked on valet, not engineering. Emailing you now


Just curious: How do you solve the problem of matching socks?


We employ caring, careful, and diligent laundry attendants to fold laundry and match socks. While we do have video camera systems, we haven't yet found any robotics systems that are ready for the scale and efficiency we have with our team. We're watching the space closely, though!


Do you have any openings for the Analytics Engineer role?


That role is in flux, as we work to understand the leverage LLMs can give us in this domain. (We also employ Metabase extensively, for a democratized analytics environment.)

Please stay in touch; we might want to find someone to help us in this domain in the coming months.


I love search term bingo


Just yesterday, we were discussing starting to retire our fleet of 8GB Macbook Airs, because 8GB just isn't enough to run Tahoe and a few apps. Luckily, most of our Macbook Airs are 16GB to avoid this kind of obsolescence.

It looks like this MacBook Neo doesn't even have an option for 16GB, unfortunately.


Why is that unfortunate? They make MacBook Airs with 16GB for those that need more than 8GB.

We're particularly interested in someone with significant React Native expertise at the moment, as we work to improve the apps our customers, delivery valets, and partners use.

Do you have offices in all those cities, or why are you listing them? I will downvote your and all other posts who do this unless you reply, because I think you are doing this to appear when people search for specific location.


We do have a physical footprint in each of those cities, and there is real value in being able to actually see our product and service in person by being in our service area. We can provide a desk with real co-workers in any of those cities.

See https://www.rinse.com/contact/#locations-heading

Most developers prefer to work from home, though! We're fully remote, and are free to mostly work from home or a co-working facility instead of one of our potentially-noisy offices.


Am I crazy if I hate remote?

I don't make the rules here, so I am going to remove the downvote, but I believe there should be a way to easily search for jobs that aren't remote.

I appreciate your response.

edit: I can't remove it anymore


No worries about the downvote. You're NOT crazy to hate remote!

It really depends on your phase in life, and your lifestyle. I have kids, a home office, a community, and outdoor hobbies, so the work-from-home lifestyle is great for me. And, I can meet colleagues for lunch or strategy sessions on occasion as necessary.

If you want to socialize with coworkers and minimize time at home, then find an in-office work environment! There are lots of them out there - Rinse isn't quite for you.

Hi, are you hiring remotely? I'm based in the UK.

My work: https://launchtoday.dev


In my experience, you won't hear from them at all. Heard the same from another HN member. They have another post in this thread that got downvoted away.


I heard back from them when I reached out to them in the past. We weren't the right fit, but Sam was professional and communicated well.

They're probably just busy.


Hi, just seeing this. Please do apply; we have a team member in Spain and a few more international members.


This is a cool visualization. I wonder if it uses the excellent solpos.c library from NREL as the core engine?

Missed a chance to put this in meme format e.g. https://imgflip.com/memetemplate/439302803/Days-without-acci...


This is great! The only part that broke the immersion (for me) was that the cloth bits fell at a constant rate - I'd expect them to accelerate due to gravity, and maybe flutter as they fell.

Nice art!
