Hollrr.com Want to help your friends discover a great new product? A quick Hollrr is the easiest way to help them discover it
We’re aiming big… Hollrr is a start-up with big ambitions. By harnessing the power of word of mouth recommendations, we want to overthrow advertising on the Internet.
From our headquarters in San Francisco CA, we are on a mission to destroy generic, banal banner advertising that no-one likes, and allow fans to liberate great new products struggling to reach new customers. Viva la revolution!
We have a lot of work to do, and we need your help.
Technical Head (we will call you ‘El Jefe’) Let’s be clear… we’re looking for a lot from this person.
Advertising/marketing as we know it is going to be flipped on its head over the next 5 years. Search/Google has already done that for one component of it, and the combination of Social Media and Advocate Marketing will do it to another component of it. There is a huge opportunity, and we believe the opportunity is wide open to be captured.
We are looking for a Technical Co-Founder to help us capture that market.
At a high-level that means that not only would you have to be a rock-star engineer, but you’d also have to be a partner contributing significantly on the business/user insight side too. In addition, you’ll need to be a solid people manager able to recruit, build and manage a high-performing Dev team.
This means we’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running:
- Understand and contribute to the vision for Hollrr - Be obsessed about iterating quickly to turn user insight into features/improvements so we can build a community of fanatics - Have the engineering chops to architect and plan for scale, but the humility right now to get down 'n' dirty in the code as we iterate quickly - Bench lift 300 lbs - The ideal person would have done a similar role at 1-2 start-ups previously... but to be honest, by far the most important thing is that you are an open-minded, curious individual, passionate about building Holllrr.com.
