[Overview] We’re a stealth startup, New York-based online social network & resource site for the book industry. We operate a community that allows book readers to connect, share, discuss, and discover books with other readers very easily. We provide a scalable social experience around reading within the $28B annual book retail market. [Role] We’re seeking a proficient Ruby on Rails developer from the New York area to work on a part-time / contract basis for us in order to help take our existing platform to the next level and ready for public launch. You would work remotely in unison with our current RoR developer, not based in New York. [Status] Our prototype platform is complete with 2000 private testers utilizing it, driving feature development, along with a current iPhone app development project. There is significant industry interest in us, from industry partnerships to strategic investments from top book entities and investment firms. Now is a perfect time for the right developer interested in helping transform the book industry’s social interaction to join us. [Validity] We’re positioned within an industry that is seeing tremendous growth, led by Amazon’s recently powerful acquisitions in our space. There are great amounts of investment money currently being focused within the crossroads of technology and the book industry, a market that we’re serving. As well, one of the iPhone’s fastest growing application is a book-related app. [Apply] If you’re interested in entering a startup company that is on the bridge of explosive growth and single-handedly helping our platform prepare for the inaugural public launch, please send a resume + an explanation of why you’re interested in working with us to: brandonwmullins [at] gmail [dot] com
