This is idea-on-a-napkin to front-page-of-the-New-York-Times work.

The Opportunity:
Obsessed with great design? Love the idea of crafting a web application from scratch? Fascinated by the idea of being employee #6, 7 or 8 at a funded startup that’s backed by the funders of LinkedIn, Facebook, and PayPal?

If you’ve got the technical chops to back up elite front-end design vision, this is an opportunity to put your design signature on an Enterprise 2.0 application, getting in on the equity ground floor of a startup that’s supported by a who’s-who of entrepreneurs and venture investors.

Opportunities like this are rare, and very rarely public. If you’ve got tier-1 skills and entrepreneurial commitment, this could be a career-defining (not to mention wallet defining) role.

This is idea-on-a-napkin to front-page-of-the-New-York-Times work.

Needless to say, you need to be really, really good…

And obsessed with being and building the best….

While still managing to be a decent human being.

About The Company:
(This company has not launched publicly, so full details are withheld)

Dominated by social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, Web 2.0 isn’t often associated with productivity. But large organizations are looking for ways to harness its tremendous potential for collaboration and transparency.

This company has found one of those ways.

With support from US investors that include the founders of LinkedIn, Facebook and Paypal, as well as a Canadian venture firm, this Toronto-based startup is in growth mode for both product and personnel.
