About Us
Fuck naps.
At [Company], we are a relentlessly client-focused group who are re-imagining, re-designing, and re-engineering the way [nouns] do [noun]. We are looking for passionate and creative people who love [nouns] and [nouns] to join our crusade. Yes, crusade. We don’t really read books and so are blissfully unaware of that term’s potential to alienate candidates with any historical sensitivity.
We get off on solving real problems in the simplest, most elegant manner possible and want to work with people who Get. Shit. Done.
We’re a team but also a family. We dream big, iterate fast, and build shit. We say “shit” a lot because it keeps the workplace cool and casual.
Paul Graham once retweeted us.
You
You are a motivated and energetic rockstar [job title] who can be an innovation catalyst in our organization, exhibiting a fanatical commitment to the customer while inspiring the team around them to pioneer the next-generation of [noun] solutions.
You excel in a fast-paced environment. You do your best work while riding the Giant Inverted Boomerang at Six Flags while your pants are literally on fire. If your Six Flags doesn’t have WiFi, you Wi(ll)Fi(nd) a way.
If you thought your high school [girlfriend/boyfriend]’s habit of driving while talking on the phone and eating ramen was reckless, this is not the company for you.
You should be goal-orientated and be able to work without any supervision or mentorship. You thrive in a cross-functional setting. That setting is also—you guessed it—fast-paced. You should not be the kind of person who suggests that maybe “orientated” isn’t the word we were looking for, or even a word at all, or that “cross-functional” is a garbage business neologism for “sends email and doesn’t run away screaming when she has to talk to Bill from Marketing.”
Key Responsibilities
Develop and expand our [X].
Interfacing with key constituents.
Conceive, deliver, and support go-to-market strategies that include [Y].

*If you’re incorporated in the UK, substitute “liaise” for all verbs above.
