Make it profitable to be ethical!
This quickly growing startup recently raised a $1 MM angel round from the top angels in Silicon Valley led by Peter Thiel (former founder and CEO of PayPal), Eric Di Benedetto, Jeff Clavier, Aydin Senkut, and Ron Conway.

- You should have a strong desire to build a more ethical society
- You want to be an early employee and want to be a real owner in our future
- Intensely driven and proactive person
- Extremely hard working. This is a start-up. We work 70-80 hour weeks you should too.

- You thrive on working with A-players and you're too good to spend 70+ hrs/wk with B-players
- People like you and like working with you
- You thrive on chaos, risk, and uncertainty
- Should be easy to get along with, nice, fun, smart, ethical, and low-maintenance
- All levels of experiences should apply (0-25+ years experience)

The compensation:
- High cash comp | high equity
- we are willing to pay for the best talent.

Hi, I’m Brian
I work at mirRoR, where we connect agile Rails developers and employers.
We started as Rails programmers ourselves (and are currently working on a few social, facebook, and iPhone apps). This background and network help us identify quality opportunities in the industry.
That’s especially important today. While many venture-backed web 2.0 startups are cutting costs amidst this economic climate, we are working with a number of companies that are self-sufficient, cash-positive, and well capitalized for the long-term.
I’d be eager to briefly discuss where you are in the process and see if there is a potential fit, either for the opportunities listed here, or those posted elsewhere.
Let’s chat!
