Overview
AdGrok (adgrok.com), a Y Combinator startup, is looking for its first non-founder employee.
We just closed a seed round with some distinguished angel investors, have plenty of money in the bank, and are ready to build a company. This isn’t some BS social media thing that injects dancing pigs into your Facebook newsfeed. We’re taking a $50 billion market and changing the way business is done.
Forget working for Google or Facebook.
Why join the navy, when you can come be a pirate like us?
Responsibilities
Make something people want
Experience
You must have a passion for building something people want.
You want to have a say in what gets built next, and how it gets built.
You’re experienced enough to know that there is always more than one way to do it, and humble enough to know that how you’re doing something may very well not be the best way to do it.
Your passion for getting the right thing done at the right time is bigger than your ego.
You know that in a startup, everyone is as much an “architect” as they are a “janitor.”
