Product Manager (San Francisco, CA)

March 11, 2010

in Design Jobs, Web Design

 

Are you tired of seeing your compelling product or feature get buried by company bureaucracy? Has your job become less about product design and delighting users and more about project management? Do you want the increased responsibility of being the driving force behind a product that touches millions of users a month? If so, we may have the right job for you.

 

About Us. Sociable is a VC-backed start-up offering a unique opportunity to join a small, high caliber team at the ground floor! We are solving an interesting problem in a huge market – namely how to leverage social media to drive product sales online. Our service helps consumers find compelling products based on information shared by friends. Imagine a day when you could do a Google search on “hotels in Miami” and get back a list of the places where your friends have stayed in the last five years. That’s the problem we are solving! We already have a number of marquee customers (millions of page-views daily) and are generating compelling results. We’re backed by top-tier Silicon Valley investors and advisors, including Founders Fund, the original seed investors in Facebook, and even received an investment from Facebook itself! We are currently moving to bigger offices but have committed to an office within walking distance of Caltrain and BART (most likely SOMA or Millbrae).

About You. You want to prove you can create the next big thing! You might not have the experience yet to be considered for VP/Director of Product roles, but you know you can do the job AND you want it now – not five years from now!

• You love creating compelling CONSUMER user experiences and have an amazing intuition for consumer psychology – hence part user experience expert and part product manager
• You have 2+ years experience working on a consumer Internet service/application that required constant iteration to improve results
• You are FAST at creating mock-ups using OmniGraffle (or similar tool)
• You are an avid personal user of social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace)
• You have experience and comfort using a quantitative, metrics-driven approach to improve product design

Core responsibilities

• Create wire frames, user flows, and design comps (with the help of a web designer)
• Use agile methodology to define stories for engineering team (no massive PRDs!)
• Design, create, and interpret results from A/B tests

The Reward. Ground-floor equity with a real pay-check. Opportunity to work with some of the Valley’s brightest product minds. Your work visible to millions of users – right now. Ability to leapfrog to a product leadership role today and build a product team in one year.

Are you up for the challenge? If so, upload your resume and an example of a consumer Internet product, feature, or service that you designed.

JavaScript Guru & Front Engineer for VC Backed Startup (San Francisco, CA)

March 11, 2010

in Java and JavaScript, Programming Jobs

Sr. Frontend Engineer and Javascript Master

Are you bored with AJAX and already on to the next best thing? Are you always pushing the boundaries of what can be done on the Browser? Do you want your work to be viewed by millions of users per day? If so, we may have just the role for you.

About Us. We are a well-funded yet early-stage start-up. We are solving an interesting problem in a huge market, namely how to leverage social media to drive product sales online. We’re backed by top tier Silicon Valley investors, including Founders Fund, the original seed investors in Facebook. We are moving to bigger offices but have committed to an office within walking distance of Caltrain and BART.

Our Business. Our service helps consumers find compelling products based on information shared by friends. Imagine a day when you could do a Google search on “digital cameras” and get back a list of the cameras your friends have purchased in the last five years. That’s the problem we are solving! Our business model is to utilize social content around products to drive sales for online retailers and receive a commission on the sales generated. We already have a number of marquee customers (millions of page-views daily) and have recently raised VC funding from a great group of investors

Our Challenge. We seek to delight our users with social media. Many have tried — most have failed. We seek to build the definitive cross-site social media experience.

Our Culture. High Performance (fast, agile, clever). Accountable (we trust each other to deliver). Fun (we love what we do and take pride in our work). We work hard but also have a life outside the office.

About You. You can write a book on JavaScript, AJAX, PHP (or Python, etc…), and Cross-Domain scripting — but that would be boring. You are driven by delighting users. You love to work with a top-notch design and product team — brainstorm with them, not just take orders. You are good both in the Browser and in the Front-End layer of the application. You can do the back-end when necessary and aren’t frightened by Java but prefer the Front-End. You are an Engineer.

The Reward. Ground-floor equity with a real pay-check. Fantastic team. Your work visible to millions of users – in months, not years. Pride in building something net new — both technology and a company.

Are you up for the challenge? If so, upload your resume and links to your work.
