Hey HN,
I’m Jordan, cofounder of Version Story (YC W21).
Imagine a world with no Git. In this versioning Mordor, even basic operations would be tedious and confusing.
To submit changes to your codebase, you designate one person on your team to manually update your repository. To get your changes approved, you email your code to the team and wait for colleagues to send you comments. When a colleague shares their changes before you do, you manually rebase your changes against theirs.
This is how professionals collaborate in many of the most important fields. These include lawyers drafting contracts, academics writing research papers, legislators drafting bills, and engineers managing CAD files. They all encounter the fundamental issues that git solves for coders. In the absence of git, they execute most git actions manually
Version Story is solving this problem. We’ve built the functionality of git into an intuitive visual, Figma-style interface.
My cofounder Kevin and I are both technical and we’ve built our initial product ourselves. We recently closed our first enterprise contract with a major law firm (https://www.artificiallawyer.com/2022/12/01/mishcon-brings-a…) and have many others in our sales pipeline. Now that we’re confident our product will be successful, we’re expanding our team.
At the moment, our team consists of me and Kevin. Kevin is a Stanford Law School-educated lawyer turned coder with experience working in Mergers & Acquisitions at Simpson Thatcher, and also as a software engineer at LinkedIn. I studied computer science at the University of Michigan and worked as a senior software engineer at LinkedIn prior to founding Version Story. We’re backed by investors including Y Combinator and Accel Ventures.
We’re looking for a strong, generalist engineer who is interested in traversing all parts of the stack to build new features, architecting our infrastructure, and helping us design git for documents.
