500points is hiring!
Well, kinda. We're not paying you. And by "we,"
we mean "I." The royal we, if you will.
Positions available:
Ruby on Rails Developers
- Responsibilities:
- Work with me, Brad (also a RoR dev), to develop 500points.com into
the slickest website ever.
EVER.
The site contains aspects of
social
networking, expansive user-specific data generation and presentation, and
RESTful
everything (well, as much as possible). Our team will not tolerate
n00bs. If you're already an expert, that should be music to your
ears. Perfectionists are welcome. Prima donnas are not.
- Pay:
- Equity. No cash.
- Hours:
- Whatever. Probably an hour or so of group time on the weekend
at a café and another few hours on your own. Think of it as
a hobby that may pay off in the long run.
Graphic/Web Designers
- Responsibilities:
- Make the site look purty. Eventually we will get into other
formats, such as an iPhone app. The site appeals to anyone with an
internet connection, so a clean and straight-forward design is
imperative. You need a good grip on user experience design.
- Pay:
- Equity. No cash.
- Hours:
- Same as everyone else. An hour per week to meet up and a few
hours on your own.
Marketers
- Responsibilities:
- The site needs to make money, and that's your job. The business
model exists already, though it could use some beefing up. You've
heard of content-aware advertising? Yeah, we'll be taking that to the
max. This site will simultaneously have the most targeted and the least
intrusive advertising in existence. Other avenues for revenue have
been fleshed out, too. It's your job to develop and extend those.
- Pay:
- Cash. Hah. Just kidding. No cash. Just equity.
- Hours:
- You guessed it. An hour per week together and a few hours on
your own.

If you're interested, please let me know! Send an email to me at listrophy
on that sweet, sweet webmail provider gmail. A few quick pointers: if
you're representing a company, you shouldn't bother. I'm not interested in
your services. If you're an individual looking for a fun hobby project,
drop me a line! You're exactly the person I'm looking for!
