Many companies mention why you should apply, but I think this is a unique opportunity.
Here's why…
You'll be part of a team that:
- Is quickly growing an early-stage product (right as momentum is building)
- Truly works together in a positive team environment
- Spends time learning and experimenting with new and better ways of doing things
Basically, this is an opportunity where you’ll work with a small team to directly contribute to a product’s success. In the process, you'll develop valuable skills that will be useful throughout your entire career.
You'll be working directly with the founder, so there won’t be several layers of management to deal with. We’re a team with friendly and motivated people that loves to work with others.
