Wanted: Star Software Developer for Stealth Mode Company
By David Stein on April 16, 2008 - Comments (View)In building the company, we recognized that only with the right people can you build a successful company. Our core asset wasn’t our blue chip customer base, large recurring revenues or our software, but our people. They enabled us to both develop and achieve the large goals we set out, and have fun along the way.
After the company was acquired, we took a step back to think about what other interesting problems we could use technology to address.
We are now building a new company, focused on a new problem, but we still have the same belief in the importance of building the right team.
What we do:
Given the early stage of this new business, we are still operating in stealth mode. What we can tell you at this point is that our new application:
• Solves a problem for millions of employees globally
• Enables employees and organizations to improve their effectiveness
• Fundamentally changes the design orientation of enterprise applications
• Utilizes the latest technologies in the design of this solution
We will be happy to share more details with you when we meet.
We are now ramping up and looking for a star software developer to help us build our application.
What we are offering:
• The opportunity to work with a seasoned team of successful software entrepreneurs
• The ability to to be an early participant in the design and development of our solution
• The chance to work on a problem and a solution that affects millions of people
• To develop software applications that fundamentally change how organizations operate
• An attractive compensation package including both salary and options
How we would describe the ideal candidate:
1) Not interested in being part of a team that is the best in Toronto, or the best in Canada, but the best in the world
2) Takes tremendous pride in solving complex problems and seeing his/her products being used by millions of users around the world
3) A sense of curiosity to learn continuously and to be challenged by smart people
4) The ability to gets things done quickly and elegantly
5) Experience designing and developing complex software applications in C++, or Java, or PHP environments
6) Enjoys life outside the office, be it surfing, cycling or playing the guitar

You’ve piqued my interest. Do you have any interested customers that you can tell me about? Are you well funded?

Patrick,
Thanks for your interest.
When we think about the business, we think broadly about: Strategy,people, products and operations.
With our defined strategy, we are able to then determine our needs regarding the other areas.
With respect to growing our team, we are off to a good start! As we continue to grow, we are interested in talking with top performers who think they can help us on our mission.
In terms of finances, we are in very strong shape. Given the success of the prior venture with which we were integrally involved, we have been fortunate in attracting both private and VC investors.
In terms of customers, at this early stage of the venture, customer interest has exceeded our expectations.
Not only have we engaged with our first few customers, but we have a built a backlog of clients waiting to initiate a project and start using the initial version of our solution.
We are under confidentiality restrictions with these clients, so we can only share details with you under an NDA.
Let me know if this information meets your needs, or if you would like to connect directly with us to learn more.
