Marketing & Jack/Jane-of-All-Trades Intern in New York

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:44:50 GMT

THE COMPANY
Angel-backed start-up that's looking to turn the travel industry on its head. Millions of people every day are subjected to lackluster walking and bus tours of cities across the globe. Generally, these tours stink: they rely on the passive, sit-and-listen model (yawn); they hold their participants captive, sucking all the fun out of exploring a city; they lack originality of content; and they're overpriced. So we invented a better way. Through our proprietary technology, we deliver cell phone-guided, interactive tours to tourists and locals who want a more engaging way to discover their urban surroundings. Recently awarded a 2011 TripAdvisor.com Certificate of Excellence (yay, certificates!), we have been rapidly expanding across the country. We're in 5 cities now. By the end of this year, we'll be in 20. Next year, the world...

THE POSITION
The intern will work with cofounders to develop the business and its primary product, The Game, as we expand across the country. The opportunity provides an inside look at how a start-up launches and develops a product, designs and executes marketing strategies, and responds to a rapidly changing technological and economic landscape. The intern will have direct exposure to almost every aspect of the business, including sales, marketing and operations. Primary focus will be on developing, implementing, and monitoring marketing strategies and tactics. He/she will gain hands-on experience working on a number of projects in this fast-paced but casual work environment.

Python / Django Developer For Urban Games Startup in New York

Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:40:08 GMT

You'll be just our third technical hire, and will have tons of say in where we take our product. It's brand-new, and we've cobbled together something that works and that we're proud of, but it still does only a fraction of the things we think it could -- and we can't wait to hear your creative ideas about where else it could go.

If you're as comfortable and confident making the big decisions about software architecture as you are placing parentheses in code... If you know and love all of Django's shortcuts but also know when to take the long way around... If you have the experience to build software that will last and can grow with us… If you can strike that balance between Getting It Just Right and Getting It Done... we want you on our team!

Designer / Front-End Web Developer For Urban Games Startup in New York

Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:40:08 GMT

We adore great design but aren't so hot at creating it ourselves, so we're looking for a talented designer with a depth of mobile and web experience, an eye for usability and user experience, and the ability to execute his/her designs in clean, standards-compliant HTML and CSS. You'll be redesigning our logo and branding; redesigning our mobile app and website, designing marketing materials, email communications, and everything in between.

If taking charge of a company's visual identity energizes you... If you communicate as well visually as with words... If clumsy interfaces make you wince... If you obsess as deeply over macro-scale balance as you do over the exact right hue of blue or the pixel-perfect placement of a period... If you know the difference between a block element and the box model... then we want YOU!

Mobile Application Developer - Interactive Tour Company in New York

Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:40:38 GMT

We're looking for a developer who can take charge of our mobile development plans and
1) produce a cross-platform app that wraps an awesome user interface around our existing scavenger-hunt style tours;
2) extend that application to bring even more awesome features and fun gameplay to the product.

We are a small team, and you will be our entire mobile division, so we need you to take charge, self-manage, choose what technologies we use, and define our approach to this market. That also means you'll be getting in on the ground floor and will have an opportunity to help shape the direction of our business.

Send cover letter, resume, and links to apps you've developed to jobs@strayboots.com. Tell us what you think makes a good mobile app developer.
