As many of you know, 2007 was an amazing year for buySAFE as we accomplished more than 100% growth for each of the last four quarters. I expect buySAFE to continue to grow at a very fast pace in 2008, and so as you can imagine, that means we are looking to hire very talented people. Specifically, buySAFE is hiring exceptional software developers (see the position description below) and sales executives, but of course, we are always interested in meeting talent across the board.
If you are a VERY smart person that enjoys BIG challenges and wants to work REALLY hard on a talented team to help build a great company, then you and I should probably talk. Similarly, if you know someone that fits that description, please let he or she know that I want to talk to them as well.
Although we hire only a small percentage of the folks that inquire about jobs here at buySAFE, we are constantly looking for the best and the brightest people because it takes the best and brightest to build a great company. If you think you have the entrepreneurial spirit and business/technical skills for buySAFE, send me your resume!
For the software developers... See the position description below, and again, send me your resume!
Have a great New Year's Eve!
