Earlier quoted context omitted.

Man I'd kill for this job if I wasn't on contract for another 8 months. Absolutely love working hands on and with software.

Same here - my favorite activities are coding during the day and woodworking / blacksmithing at night. In my case I live right next door (Arlington) but I'm relocating an hr north to NH in 12 months. :-(

We have a guy commuting in from RI every day, and he works from home a few days a week. Just saying :-)

(Sidenote, if you are intent on working in NH, I know someone who's hiring at a great medium-sized tech company in Manchester. If you're interested, let me know!)

Ambition | Chattanooga, TN | Full Time Ambition is essentially "Fantasy Football for Sales Organizations" where managers can choose/weight metrics for employee-based teams to compete over across seasons. Increases employee productivity through competition and employer efficiency through automation. Demo is available here: http://tryambition.com While we haven't officially launched (no time for marketing website and w…

seems like an interesting venture.

Thanks, I'm glad you think so. While we still have a tremendous amount of work to do automating our customer integration process we are very excited about what's next.

We see the future of Ambition being comparable to New Relic except where they focus on servers we focus on humans. We are already gaining significant market share in the transportation industry (3PL brokerages) and one of our goals is to provide anonymized indices and benchmarks across job functions, geographic locations, and seniority. In addition we are building in customizable triggers where managers can set notifications based on employee/team behavior and momentum. Less time in excel looking at yesterday's data, more time on the floor.

Overall, it's our belief that the majority of people spend the majority of their waking lives at work with the majority of their emotions ranging from apathy to misery... if we can incrementally make work more fun/engaging/inspiring than we've done our good deed, fortunately our "Fantasy Football" system seems to be doing just that.
