Job type:Full-Time
Company:Toronto, Ontario, Canada Startup
Deadline:2/09/2013
We're an early stage startup in Toronto, Ontario looking to add more talent to our team. The team is currently led by two founding members and has built a minimum viable product with private beta users and a number B2B pilots in place as we work through the lean startup methodology. One of the founders previously sold the last business to a public company and the startup is further supported by a seasoned advisory board.
This is an opportunity for the right candidate to have substantial equity and influence in a business that is starting to get off the ground. Furthermore, as the role evolves, there is a clear opportunity to lead the technology side of the business and take on a CTO role.
