11. Job/Internship Opportunity at Threadloom
Below is a message from Alyssa, a Cal Poly alum who worked at Google and then recently joined this start up.
My company (Threadloom) is looking for its second hire, and also for an intern this summer. I took a risk, leaving a great job (that I enjoyed!), to join Threadloom in November as the first hire. I am so happy that I did!
I love:
- The people I work with. Greg and Paul (founders) are incredibly good at what they do, and inspiring, supportive, and humble in how they do it.
- What I'm learning. I'm learning things (both technical, and about building a company) I never dreamed I would be in a position to learn.
- That I can have a lasting impact on the company by helping define inclusive company culture and policies. I love that our small startup cares about getting these things right from the very beginning since they will have lasting effects.
Come help us build a great product and a great company where people (our customers, our community, and each other) are valued!
About:
Threadloom is a three-person, venture-funded startup in Silicon Valley. We're building products that help people follow what they love. We’re looking for a software developer to join our core team as Employee #2 and an intern who wants to dive right in and make a big impact. We're a people-focused team that cares about shipping great products, solving problems that matter, and developing a respectful and humble company culture.
Please find more info here: http://goo.gl/ZPXped.
And feel free to reach out to me personally (alyssa@threadloom.com).
Thanks!
Alyssa

12. iFixit Security Triathlon | February 27 | 1pm
Join iFixit for a “security triathlon” to learn and compete in software hacking, traditional lockpicking, and tearing down hardware! Gather your team of around 3-5 people and come tackle whatever events interest you most. There are a limited number of slots available for teams, so register early. Don’t have all the skills yourself? That’s ok, you can either team up with someone who does or pick up skills on the fly. You don’t need to be an expert! Each event will have coaches available to help.
Points will be awarded for each activity and high scoring teams will receive prizes at the end of the night. Come out and join iFixit’s engineers and Cal Poly’s cybersecurity director Bill Britton to hone your skills and enjoy a little friendly competition.
Dinner will be provided by iFixit, and after the event we will be streaming the movie Hackers in the office for anyone who would like to stick around.
The event is totally free, but you do need to register for tickets as a team through the Eventbrite link posted below:
https://securitytriathlon.eventbrite.com
Other information can be found on the Eventbrite page. We’d love to see lots of Cal Poly students there!
