Freedom Freight

Rails Developer, iOS Developer

The last 50 years has seen the reinvention of almost every major industry except for one: Trucking. Freedom Freight is here to change that by deploying the world's first mobile platform for on-demand freight shipping. Over $30 billion dollars a month is spent trucking freight around the US, without it, the country would grind to a halt overnight. In a such a massive market, it's hard to believe that the entire industry today still runs on phones and fax machines, but until now, it has. This means millions of hours are wasted and thousands of drivers are sitting idle or driving empty. We are changing that.

We're looking to bring Rails and iOS developers on the team. We're a small, flat company and this is a fantastic opportunity to join a great team trying to conquer one of the largest markets in the US.

If you think Freedom Freight would be the perfect fit, send an email with your info to sean@freedomfreightusa.com

Boston, MA (Remote welcome, but onsite would be awesome)

ProBueno (http://www.probueno.com)

We're looking for an engineer and a marketing/growth hacker to help us change the way people think about volunteering their time for charity.

(The engineering position lists front-end, but a back-end/middle/generalist/whatever (we're on Rails) would be awesome - anything to take some load off of me :) )

We're super early, angel-funded, and since you'd be employee #1, for the right person, non-trivial equity is definitely on the table.
