Greetings Devout Followers of Our Humble Blag,
I am writing to you (the inter-tubes) today with SCVNGR’s Hiring Wish-List.
As you may know, we’re looking to double the size of SCVNGR. So SCVNGR becomes SCVNGR! The product keeps getting better, demand keeps increasing and we want to be able to bring the world the absolute best geo-gaming platform out there. And, in order to do that we need more awesome people to join our awesome team.
Here’s our 30 second pitch on why you should join us:
SCVNGR is the world’s only enterprise-level geo-gaming platform. We provide the software and infrastructure to power location-based mobile games for institutions and individuals. These games, tours, interactive experiences etc… are played by hundreds of thousands of people via iPhone App, Android App, Mobile Web and even SMS. Over the last year, SCVNGR has been purchased and deployed by over 500 institutions in 44 states and 2 countries with a client repeat rate of over 90%. Our clients are museums, conferences, universities, corporations, promotional firms, individual game-builders and even the U.S. Military (I know, cool right?). In our first full year in business we’ll do just over $1MM in revenue and are on track to do five times that next year. We’re venture backed by Highland Capital to the tune of another million dollars, have 20 full time employees and are basically taking the mobile gaming world by storm. Our month on month revenue has been growing by 40% consistently for the last year. Check us out in Business Week, TechCrunch and Forbes Magazine.
And we’re looking to grow… aggressively. We’re hiring for software engineers (CS Majors) and bizdev/sales people (any major, just must be ambitious as all get out). Our core hiring philosophy is simple. We’re looking for people who have a habit of winning and are likely to keep winning at whatever they do next. We pay damn well, have great benefits, have the world’s largest corporate budget solely dedicated to the acquisition of nerf guns, a pool table and 20,000 square feet of beautiful office space in downtown Boston, MA.
But, you may ask, exactly what type of people do you need?
To answer that question, I present to you the SCVNGR Hiring Wish-List: (Remember, that even if you don’t fit any of these descriptions, there’s a $1,000 cash reward in it for you if you refer to us someone that we end up hiring!)
