We are backed by a leading group of technology and finance executives. 

1.They're agile. That means test-driven development with tools like Test::Unit, RSpec, JUnit, Selenium and JsUnit. It means pair-programming, refactoring, and state-of-the-art continuous integration, build, and deployment infrastructure.
2.They're fun. Besides daily catered breakfasts and beer nights, what does that mean? It means we've got a real culture. We share it by rotating developers between projects. With us, you may work on five, six, or even more projects in a single year.
3.They're good, and always improving. We have daily stand-up meetings and regular retrospectives. We figure out what we're doing wrong, so we can fix it, and what we're doing right, so we can make it even better. Working here means you get better at what you already do well, every day.

You have lots of experience developing and launching consumer Internet products (social networking, user generated content, search, online classifieds, online commerce or auctions). You thrive in a start-up environment and have passion, excellence and imagination for leading a team in the creation of world-class applications.
