At Octopart, we're opening up access to electronic component part data through our search engine, http://octopart.com and our API, http://octopart.com/api . We're connecting hardware hackers to the information they need to design the next generation of hardware devices.

We're building the most intuitive, fast and beautiful interface for searching for electronic parts.

We're compiling the most extensive database on electronic components by combining data from tons of different sources.

We're all in NYC (no remote), we're a team of 13, our backgrounds are in Physics, CS, EE. We've been profitable since 2010.

We're from the YC W07 batch. We write a lot of Python and JavaScript.

If you're a software hacker who wants to build amazing tools for hardware hackers, tell us about yourself and include your resume in an email to jobs@octopart.com.



I just want to say: your idea is awesome and I'm so happy you're building this service. Searching for electronics across vendors is a huge pain and this looks very helpful. Good luck!
