Seeking a data-loving sales person to lead the charge (REMOTE from somewhere in the bay area)

AppMonsta sells data and insights to help businesses better understand the mobile app markets. Our customers love us, we're bootstrapped and profitable, and we're growing quickly. We love hustle - we've been out hitting the streets as founders for the past year (we closed Neilsen and comScore starting with cold emails). Now it's time for us to bring a real pro - we've figured out the product and the market segments, and now we need someone who can use what we've learned to close a whole bunch of new customers.

When we talk to prospects, we hear things like "We've been looking for a solution to this problem for the past three weeks. This is EXACTLY what we were looking for". There are tons of leads just waiting for someone to give them a demo and close them, as well as a ton of companies that don't know they want to talk to us yet (we usually come back from conferences with handfuls of business cards to give demos to).

As our first dedicated sales person, there's a huge opportunity waiting for you (and responsibility to match). You'll set the tone for our whole sales organization, and have the opportunity to grow into a very senior management role. You'll be instrumental in helping develop a repeatable, measurable sales process. At the same time, you should be comfortable with being the feet on the street while we ramp up. We have had great luck with attending conferences, sending cold emails, and giving web demos to close new customers.

Our entire team works remotely. We're very flexible about where and when you work, as long as you're hustling, closing deals, and keeping our existing customers happy and paying. Being in somewhere in the bay area is a big bonus, as both founders are here, as are a lot of our customers. We try to get together at least once a week, and meet with our customers in person when we can. We also provide everyone with a 4G LTE wireless access point so you can work from wherever suits your fancy.

Send me an email at scotty@appmonsta.com and tell me what gets you fired up about selling.

Intrans

Ruby Engineers, Mobile Engineer, interns

The last 50 years has seen the reinvention of almost every major industry except for one: Trucking. Intrans 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 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 hundreds of millions of dollars worth of freight capacity goes unfilled every month due to the old-school inefficiencies of the industry. We are changing that.

If you're ready to change the trucking industry, send your resume and GitHub profile to jobs@intrans.com. We're also looking for summer engineering interns.

LocBox, San Francisco. Frontend Engineer, Rails Developer, Data Scientist, Inside Sales Representative. Relocations Welcome, H1B Transfers Welcome.

More at http://www.getlocbox.com/careers and http://www.techcrunch.com/2012/10/31/locbox-series-a/.

I’m CEO at LocBox (http://www.getlocbox.com) and we are looking to work with great folks that share our mission - empowering local businesses to generate sustainable revenue from their best customers. We want to do it with Data, Algorithms and Design in a space that has traditionally lacked all three but is finally turning the corner (and fast).

Most local businesses resort to unsustainable daily deals or boring Email Marketing to acquire and retain customers. We reject that status quo and our hundreds of (paying) customers agree. We’ve also developed a new search/crawl/tech-centric way of acquiring our own customers and disagree with the obsolete feet-on-street Sales model. The company is very small but generating material and predictable revenue; net revenue growth has exploded in the last 2 quarters.

Our tech/product team is 6 at the moment and the company as a whole is 11; we're looking to at least triple the tech team size in the next 6 months. The tech stack is standard-issue Rails/HTML/CSS/JavaScript and is deployed on AWS. The product and tech team operates on 2 week sprints and there's a decent bit of Halo-playing and beer-drinking at the completion of sprint milestones.

We also just launched with a $5.1M Series A in the press w/ TechCrunch, AllThingsD, GigaOm and VentureBeat. Ready to talk to us? I'm saumil at getlocbox dot com and at http://www.getlocbox.com/careers.
