As a potential Co-Founder, you need to be the entrepreneurial, adventurous and creative. If you do have a penchant for taking risks and creating cool products that could change the world (or at least the web experience), this position is for you. You should be comfortable making executive decisions in a T-shirt and jeans. At first, your decisions will be of the cuisine variety (ie where to order delivery from) but will quickly escalate to far more significant tasks, such as building your tech team. Basically, we are looking for a leader with a passion for tech and a lack of fear.

Our business will involve creating a browser bar, so you should have an idea how that works. You also should be familiar with the social-media environment, which plays an essential role in our business.

You should possess these technical skills:
A deep understanding about how browser toolbars are created
Expert knowledge of JavaScript, with and without library code
Understanding of server programming, streaming and cloud computing
A solid understanding of CSS / HTML
CMS Systems (could be Drupal)
In-depth experience with scripting languages (probably PHP): 2+ yrs.
Object Oriented Programming & Design skills.
JavaScript, HTML, CSS.
Experience with LAMP stack, including database management systems (probably MySQL), queries and deployment.
Apache server configuration experience.
User and test-driven development methodologies
Facebook API, Ajax, Amazon S3
iPhone/Android development a bonus
Experience of building consumer/social web products a bonus
B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, or equivalent experience

If you meet most of the requirements, have the personality mentioned above, and, most importantly, are curious about what we look to create, hit us up at: mshkediandtmueller [at] gmail [dot] com

Redefine a Stagnant Market, Eliminate Barriers to Entry, and Cultivate Fundamental Change

We’re searching for a founder level elite ninja/Jedi web developer to assist us in creating an innovative Web 2.0 branding platform that leverages crowd-sourcing and social media. We’ll be redefining a stagnant marketplace, removing barriers to entry, and cultivating fundamental change. We expect this person to not only be responsible for the development of the platform but to also be able to creatively collaborate at crucial pivot points during its evolution to beta.

You’ll be joining a great founding team that leverages domain experience from a globally ranked top 10 branding and marketing firm, a talented graphic designer, and a fantastic developer/CTO familiar with both front and back-end web development experience.

Responsibilities
• Most of your responsibilities will focus on front-end development, however we are looking for a generalist capable of also collaborating on back-end development
• Develop and implement new platform and product features that will assist our audience with branding and brand development
• Assist with API implementation and integration where needed
• Leverage LAMP technologies while developing in a Python/Pylons framework
• Convert designs/wireframes into our functioning website using web standards and best practices
• Propose and test improvements for A/B and multi-variate tests

Fundamental Skill Sets Needed
• Must have a true entrepreneurial and JFDI attitude.
• Lamp Stack Experience (Python, Pylons, HTML, CSS, XHTML, XML, Javascript, JQuery, Ajax, JSON, etc…) along with related technologies
• Database experience a plus (PostgreSQL)
• Demonstrated ability to apply agile web development best practices with respect to scalability, security, usability, load-time, and basic search engine optimization techniques
• Experience with social network APIs such as Facebook Connect, Twitter OAuth, Google Maps, etc.
• Experience with UX design and implementation
• Strong fundamental CS knowledge (data structures, algorithms) is ideal, as is a true passion for user interface development but most importantly, we need someone with a demonstrated ability to understand both the possibilities and constraints of web applications and large data problems.
• Programming language experience is great but is secondary to aptitude, intelligence, problem solving, and a willingness to learn and master concepts quickly. (We’re looking for talent not languages.)
• Passionate about helping small and medium sized businesses, branding, and the creative community
• Business acumen – ability to understand overall business

Where
We’re currently located in Charlotte, NC but virtual/telecommuting is acceptable until we have a viable release candidate. Ultimately, Silicon Valley is “the” destination for web-based startups and depending on logistics, economics, market factors, VC backing, etc… it may be a possible destination.

Compensation
Currently, this is an equity only position as a co-founder, a vesting period is preferred. Based on progression, this initiative could move in several different directions once crucial milestones are reached (profitability and/or venture/angel funding). There are certainly several options available once these crucial milestones have been reached and we’re willing to entertain anything that we deem to be fair and equitable. (If there’s a fit, we’ll make it work!)

How to Apply
Please provide a CV/resume, example sites you have developed/coded with explanations of your level of involvement, your LinkedIn profile if possible, and any other relevant information.

I can be reached via Twitter @KellerII or via email at jt [at] branddesk [dot] com.

About HypedSound – HypedSound is a social music platform for artists and listeners. The premise: Why be a member of a dozen different music networks when one site can meet all your music needs? With HypedSound you can host your online music profile and network with other artists and listeners just like on the other music social networks, but we take it a step further by adding modules specifically for online music collaboration, contests, finding band members, music discovery, and music information. What we have now is just the beginning of our ultimate vision to be the default music platform for interactive music services, that is, going beyond streaming music. We have a lot of new ideas that we’d like to discuss as we improve the existing product and solidify our early adopting user base.

Sample user: Molly is in a rock band and uses HypedSound to share her band’s music with the HypedSound community. Her band networks with other artists and their fans, but her band lost their drummer and needs a replacement. She then goes to the Virtual Auditions section and posts a classified ad along with a video of her band playing live, hoping to lure some talent in from someone in her area. Sam, a drummer, has been using his listener profile to browse music and take part in the forums. He uses the Collaborate section to add tracks to other people’s music but now he’s ready to find a band. Luckily, he doesn’t have to go far because he finds the ad that Molly posted and immediately goes to check out her band’s profile and respond to the ad. They then meet up to jam and go back to HypedSound to show-off their new demo.

Requirements – A programmer, web developer with extensive knowledge of PHP. The site also utilizes JavaScript, XML, Ajax, and DTHML and the database architecture is MySQL. Expertise in additional languages, platforms, and technologies a plus.

Compensation – Even though we have already put in a considerable amount of time into the company in addition to a financial investment, we do not undervalue the importance of having a technical lead. Because we are currently a bootstrapped company and pre-revenue, the arrangement involves no salary initially, but we offer equity comparable to that of a co-founder and commensurate with dedication and experience. If you cannot commit full-time, we are open to discussing a “nights and weekends” type arrangement in the short-term. If you can see yourself passionate about the project in the long-term, we’d love to talk to you.
Location (NYC, Virtual) – We are flexible in terms of location in the short-term. Ideally you would be able to relocate to New York City in early 2011 pending funding and revenue status of the company.

How to Apply – Email me at jonathan[at] hypedsound [dot] com if you have any interest or questions about the project. Examples of previous work and your CV/LinkedIn profile are welcome. Having the required technical expertise is only part of the story; just as important is your alignment with the goals and vision of the company for the future.

We are looking for a motivated engineer (who is enthusiastic about our idea) to become a third partner in the company. We would prefer someone who is familiar with mobile app development (iPhone, Android a plus) and who has experience with DB management.

Compensation:
At this point, it’s equity only baby. Join the team as a co-founder and let’s start making this site huge!

Contact:
If interested, please email your contact information and any projects you’ve worked on/are working on to menuvore [at] gmail [dot] com. We’ll take a look and get back to you as soon as possible.

About Us
We only have a modicum of technical experience (some HTML), but strong administrative and program development background in the realm of K-12 education. We have however, developed a strong concept that has already been partially realized on the web. The early stage team is lead by a proven rainmaker with the demonstrated ability to go straight from bootstrapping to Angel and VC funding with the right partner(s).

What’s Needed
An entrepreneurial visionary with a real JFDI mentality. Familiarity and/or demonstrated capacity in PHP, Javascript, CSS, CMS, Python, etc., and especially MySQL. Strong database background essential. Knowledge of social media platforms (Facebook and Twitter) helpful. The ideal Technical Co-Founder/CTO will be well-versed in current educational tech used for the purposes of assessment and accountability.

You must be able to convey technical concepts to team members, educators and other non-IT stakeholders in clear, concise layman’s terms. Good understanding of the business side of the industry.

Location
We are located in New York City and look to take full advantage of the resources available through Silicon Alley. Therefore, the ideal Technical Co-Founder/CTO will be located in the Tri-State area. However, we are flexible and open to a telecommuting/virtual arrangement given the proper circumstances.

Compensation
This is currently an equity-only position with an obligatory vesting period required. There will be heavy bootstrapping at the front end, so we’re comfortable with folks who freelance or have part-time positions. We’ll be going after VC and Angel funding quite aggressively, and the site itself will be fee-based in nature. This should lead to competitive salaries once the site begins to realize its full potential.

How to Apply
Please send a CV/resume and samples of sites you’ve developed or worked on to info@teachersgateway.com by Friday, February 19, 2010. Thank you.

MUSIC FOR YOUR NOVEL
Atmosphere is an application that resides on any e-reader (like the Kindle or iPad), when you open your book to read, Atmopshere analyzes the text and searches for keywords that set the mood of the scene, then connects to a wireless streaming music service and finds a match, playing a soundtrack that is customized to the book you’re reading, enhancing the reading experience in the same way movie score enhances a film.

I pitched this software concept on episode #27 of This Week In Start Ups.

WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR
A co-founder with technology/coding experience to help in the pre-launch phase.  The basic concept “assigning something to mood” is at the core of this business, I have another project on this theme for the social networking space, so I’m looking for a partner to grow and expand this concept with.

WHERE ARE WE LOCATED?
In Los Angeles. I’d prefer to work with someone who is in the LA area.

WHAT STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT IS THIS BUSINESS?
Sorting through revenue models, getting bids from third party developers, talking to VC’s, learning what I can about the streaming music and e-book space, filed a provisional patent on the method.

WHO AM I?
I work in the animation industry, and run two small companies here in California.

COMPENSATION
This is an equity only position. All the terms are flexible, but probably best to work together
on a trial basis in the beginning. And since it’s equity only, I understand and I am totally OK with
a co-founder that has a day job. As long as you have the time and energy to devote to this project and can answer emails during the day, we can certainly work something out for the right person.
