Unifyo (https://unifyo.com) – Cambridge/London, UK – Sales and Account Executive

That's right, we're looking for a sales guy on Hacker News. We figured there must be some sales guys on here who love technology but their skills and passion are in sales, and are looking for a startup to join. If that sounds like you, don't bother scrolling down; there won't be many more of these.

Basically, we have the technology (cue Six Million Dollar Man theme) and we need you to help us turn it into money and happy customers.

The Product

Unifyo is a genius product that can accelerate millions of people’s workflow (e.g. in sales or customer service) by having instant access to unified customer profiles.

The Plan

You’ll proactively reach out to new and existing users (= leads) of Unifyo. Instead of cold calling potential clients, you focus on making sure that current users use Unifyo successful inside their companies and with their colleagues, so they feel comfortable paying for it. We’ll expect you to organise the sales approach, process and tools yourself and come back with results. The whole team will support you in your exciting quest providing the metrics and customer data you'll need to increase Unifyo's revenues from thousands to millions.

What we (think) we need from you

• You have at least 2 years of sales experience with demonstrable sales targets achieved, along with a track record of selling software solutions (SaaS) over the phone and face to face.

• You have received formal sales training.

• You have an innate hunger for personal and company success combined with a great personality.

• You have a solid understanding of web, enterprise, and SaaS technologies.

• You have a strong interest in tech (that's why you're on Hacker News) but you also have the ability to clearly explain complicated ideas to a non-technical audience. Try explaining Facebook to your grandmother before applying.

What's next

For more information, and to apply, get in touch with me (Robin) or Ben (our names at unifyo.com), or check out the full job at https://unifyo.com/jobs-sales

We're looking for a full-time developer to work on (mostly) Rails-based projects at Accelerated (http://acceleratedconcepts.com) in Tampa.

We work closely with major US wireless carriers to make using wireless communication in a business simple and robust. One of our products is a hardware monitoring and management platform that makes it simple to administer tens or hundreds of thousands of devices. This is what you will primarily be working on. Parts of the project use interesting new technologies like Redis and Go, and we're also looking at Cassandra/Riak and at some graph databases as well. You'll be working very closely with two other Rails developers.

We're a small but well-established company with a fun work environment, challenging problems to solve, and the freedom to choose and implement the best solution for those problems.

If you are interested, send a résumé to shawn.goff@accelecon.com .

Are you guys looking for people to work from home, or only considering people who will relocate?

We are believers in the value of cross-functional, co-located teams. We've tried remote workers in the past and discovered that it doesn't really work for us.

Amsterdam, Netherlands. Work permit and relocation assistance provided. Hiring for two different companies, both of whom will pay your relocation. Company 1: Looking for UX designers, front-end and back-end developers. UX designer: use Photoshop, Gimp, or whatever makes your socks roll up and down and you know how to make Web and/or mobile applications work for customers. Knowledge of HTML, JavaScript and CSS also ne…

Just a tip, you'd probably get more traction if you mentioned names of the companies and what they actually do.

You're right, but there's a catch-22: my wife and I are starting a company focusing on helping people move to other countries. For recruiting, we currently only work with companies who sponsor work permits and help with relocation. Thus, I act as a recruiter for those companies and if I mention their names or get too specific about what they do, candidates can apply directly. That not only removes any commission we make referring them, it also kills any chance we have to help the candidate prepare for the interviews.

I am very passionate about helping people become expats (my wife and I have both lived in multiple countries) and I'm just hoping I can find a way to turn my passion into a business.
