It's actually higher than that…Ross is wearing glasses right now, but he doesn't have them on in his picture. We also have a new hire who isn't on the site yet who wears glasses.

I guess people better wear glasses to the interview ;)

And be a white male.

So, uh, I'm looking for an entry-level sysadmin/data-center monkey. You could call this an intern type position, but I don't care if you are in school or not. Prgmr.com rents virtual private servers, dedicated servers, and datacenter space. Right now, we have 3 full-time folks, counting me, and two part-timers but I'm the only hardware person, and only two of us are local. So, there are several catches. the first? I…

Also, if there are any would-be customers looking for hosting, I can personally vouch that dealing with lsc via support is exactly as pleasant as this job posting is, even if you're really not supposed to need support. o.O

What about profitability, do you mind sharing either gross or net margins ?

Profitability doesn't matter when you're growing. If they have 11 employees they are presumably spending every penny coming in to grow their business, which is what you would want. The payout will come later. Anyway, it seems a great company.

Great question and cpncrunch is exactly correct. We are at 0 (more or less every month) and if there would be any profit we would hire people so we can invest it back into the company. Let me know if I can help answer anything else!

As long as the increasing spending doesn't outpace the increasing revenue.

Growing revenue is great but only if the red number gets smaller (or is staying in the same expected/manageable range).
