- You will be joining an awesometeam led by Brandon Proctor and Justin Yoshimura(3x exits).
- We are extremely data drivenand technology/software is in our DNA. You won’t be a second class citizen here, guaranteed.
- We don’t have time for assholes orpolitics.
- Competitive compensation package including equity in a high growth VC backed start-up (Crosslink, Maveron, Quest, Polaris). Salary/equity is determined based on a sliding scale: if you would like a higher salary, we can issue you less equity, and vice versa.
- Small (12 person), growing, and agile team.
