Berlin, Germany ("H1B") - StorageRoom - (1) product manager, (2) growth hacker

We’re building a cloud-based Content Management platform that’s targeted at developers. We just received funding from prestigious VCs (unannounced).

You say Content Management sucks? That’s exactly what we think, and we see a huge opportunity to do something completely different that plays well with HTML5/JS and native mobile apps. The initial version of our platform is already used by hundreds of customers, from major global media companies to small development agencies.

We already have a team of incredible developers that are working on the next generation of our service. We are looking for a (1) product manager, (2) growth hacker to help us on the business side of things.

Interested? Please send an email to sascha@thriventures.com and tell us why you are the right candidate.

P.S.: The company language is English and living in Berlin without any knowledge of German isn't a problem at all.

"our vacation policy is limitless" I think policies like this would cause more tension and worry than they relieve. Kind of like "pick your salary". Surely different people have different expectations? Do Europeans take 5 weeks a year and Americans take 2? I've never been employed under a policy like this and I'm genuinely curious as to how well you think it's helping morale.

It basically means an undefined vacation policy. It's good for employers they don't have to pay out stored up PTO days and they can keep whatever real soft limit they want in their heads that they set culturally as the management.

You don't want to look like your taking too much time off and be abusing the policy.

It is good although that sick days tend not to count for these limits.

Just a bit of feedback: the part where you get somewhere close to describing what your company actually does[1] is very well buried.

They have a CollegeHumor sketch (on startup stereotypes) as their introduction on AngelList. I'm confused.

San Francisco, CA Full time.

I'm looking for a Director of International Operations for Kongregate, reporting to the COO (I'm CEO). This would be a smart generalist who could handle lots of different responsibilities - I'm open to various combinations of product management, engineering, and other backgrounds. We're expanding our international efforts and need more leadership.

Kongregate is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GameStop, but we operate very independently. We have over 15mm monthly unique visitors who spend nearly 2 billion minutes playing games on our site per month. 75% of our revenue is from virtual goods. We have 36 employees.

(we're also looking for good web and mobile engineers, as is everyone else...)
