Looking for technical co-founder / head of dev for Hollrr

We’ve some exciting news to share!   We’re expanding the team here at Hollrr and are on the hunt for a rockstar to join us as Head of Development.  This is a tremendous opportunity to come on board as a co-founder for a growth start-up with BIG ambitions.

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 Hollrr.com.

Nice email from a user. Day made.

Makes our day every time without fail!

David—
I was introduced to Hollrr from a friend of mine that read about your company while flying.  As a lover of new products — Hollrr really strikes a cord.  I have been working for a startup company in Cleveland, Ohio for the last five years, so I appreciate your platform for “the underdogs.”  In fact, I have been developing a new mobile media accessory product on the side that I will be launching this holiday season — and I can’t wait to try to get the word out using Hollrr.  We’ll be looking to make things public in about 2-3 weeks.
Again, thanks for creating Hollrr!
Best,
Mike
