To Apply: careers@elevenlearning.com

Date Posted: Thursday September 30, 2010

Company: Eleven Learning

Location: Cambridge, MA

Eleven Learning (www.elevenlearning.com) is reinventing college textbook publishing. Our mission is to build tools that help authors bypass the big publishers and make better, cheaper books. Now we're searching for a web developer who can take us to the next level. That's where you come in.

Your job is to:

* Build features to improve our products (a web-based textbook reader; author community; crowdsourcing tools; etc.)
* Either know the technologies we're using (Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and JQuery) or be a fast learner
* Interact / solve problems with our designer and QA people * Be self-motivated

Is that you? Great. But what's critical is that you also need to:

* Be smart
* Get things done
* Want to change the world

We're self-funded and are working for equity. We're looking for someone who's interested in working part-time for equity now, and switching to a full-time paid role when we raise funds in a couple of months.

Interested? Then here's some more information about us: our current team has experience with startups, online communities, and academic publishing. We have identified a giant opportunity and believe that Eleven Learning will be a disruptive force in this industry. However, we are very much an early stage start-up, and you'll have a huge impact on our organization.

Still interested? Please respond with your resume, availability and links to some portfolio examples.
