The Goods

We are a Seattle based tech startup using the “lean startup” methodology to build our company. We are venture backed (Foundry Group / Brad Feld), small, scrappy, and having the time of our lives.

We are building a platform that helps digital publishers create loyalty programs and game mechanics into their site or application through points, badges, levels, virtual currency and virtual goods. But we don’t just offer stinkin’ badges; we build economies for our partners. We’re developing a game mechanics and virtual economy ecosystem based around our RESTful API to interact with our MySQL database for clients and we perform high transaction volumes. Our customers include digital publishers, content providers, app developers, goods vendors, and advertisers. Our platform is extensible in order to allow a wide variety of apps to be built on top of it.

In other words, we are trying to make the entire online world a lot more fun and engaging.  As such, we aren’t a stuffy, stodgy or boring company.  We are a small pack of geeks trying to have as much fun as we can while accomplishing an amazing amount of progress toward our goal.

We find resumes boring and dry, but we love real tech demos.  As you can tell, this isn’t a “typical” job, and we aren’t looking for a “typical” person.  We are looking for people with a technically creative mentality and we are looking for people who have passions outside of work.  ’Nuff said.
