As many have been posting about new beginnings and starting afresh, it's time for another Hiring thread.

Please lead with the location of the position and make it clear if working remotely is a possibility.

Cape Town, South Africa (no remote) -- SnapBill

It seems there are a few South Africans around this site so giving it a shot. We're a small growing startup in the recurring billing space that just launched last week (www.snapbill.com).

We've got big plans and are pushing to get a lot into the system as soon as possible but need a little bit of help. Shoot me an email if you're interested.

note: I see you guys improved the writing on the homepage. Congrats! :) You went from this:

"SnapBill is an online invoicing and billing system with service provisioning capabilities. SnapBill is perfect for all businesses, especially those providing services requiring an automated recurring or subscription billing system and payment collection facilities."

to this:

"SnapBill is an online invoicing and billing system that allows you to easily sell your services online. SnapBill is perfect for businesses requiring an automated recurring or subscription billing system with payment collection facilities."

Much better. (But what are "payment collection facilities"? Does that mean you take care of credit card entry and such? Then say so.)

Now give it another go-over, there are still heaps of paragraphs on that page to be improved. Make it shorter (without loosing substance). Emphasize important points with bigger type.

Good luck :)

Kongoroo.com is offering a Business Development co-founder role.

(About us, quickly: Kongoroo is the front-page of the web for kids. Parents submit sites, which are vetted and filtered for age and interests, and popularity bubbles sites to the top.)

The site still has work to do but we should still make the soft launch date at the end of February. We need help to execute this right. If you're interested or experience in Bus. Dev. please contact me at the email in my profile. We prefer if you're from the SF Bay Area, but we're open to other locations.
