Developer Sales

Tuesday August 07, 2012

We are looking to bring on a true Hybrid of App Developer and Sales.  Do you understand mobile and mobile apps?  Do you know what an SDK is?  Do you sometimes get so passionate about something you find yourself unconsciously convincing the people around you they must get it?  If that’s you, please keep reading (and get excited).

Apptopia is a marketplace for mobile app acquisitions.  We are Boston based and growing quite quickly.  We just raised funding and need a real mobile hustler on the team to help move the needle even further.  I am looking for someone who is a self-motivator.  This candidate must thrive on being given a problem with no clear path to a solution.  This candidate must be the type of person who will do anything possible to get to the end goal.  There are very few opportunities in the Boston Startup Community right now that will provide you with more experience, autonomy, and all around opportunity to succeed.

We need someone on our team who will bleed Apptopia, and have Kool-Aid pouring out of every single pore of their body.  The ideal candidate will not be someone who is looking for a stepping stone, but rather someone who wants to be a major part of building this marketplace into a massive, industry changing, success.  This person will have the opportunity to work directly with the founder every day and will need to be open to a fast paced / always changing environment.

If you want to get hired:

• Experience building iOS or Android apps (do not need to be actively building apps, but having an understanding of the process and code will be a big part of your success)
• 1-2 years sales experience
• Any experience selling or building relationships with developers is huge (think Developer evangelist at Twilio)
• API sales experience would be relevant
• Good writing skills (I do not mean creative, beautiful, flowing writing…I mean how quickly, concisely, and persuasively can you communicate your point??)
• Must be a self starter
• Competitive sports experience is a plus (high school or college)
• Experience or understanding of a startup environment is important

Why Apptopia?

• You will get to be an early employee, and will get equity.  More so, by being part of a successful business from the ground up, any door will be open to you.
• Autonomy over your time.  Vacation – take it when you need it.  Schedule – work when you are most productive
• We will help contribute to a gym membership and pay for Uber rides when you work late.
• Build your own setup (computer, monitor, etc)
• Newest Android or iPhone

**Note, we look more favorably upon real life experience, past failures / successes, and internships than we do MBAs, majors, or grades.  We are willing to take a chance on anyone who has the skills, persistence, and all around awesomeness to convince us that beyond any doubt you would be an indispensible asset to our team**
