Ideally, we are looking for someone that grew up with computers and knows what a BBS is. That being said, if you're new to the game and have lots of skills when it comes to building kick ass web apps then we're game for that too. In addition, if you love video, movies, TV shows.. and have watched them online at sites like Hulu, FanCast, NetFlix, or Vimeo then you're on the right path to getting hired with us. All our project management software is available online so there's no need for you to be local, but bonus points will be given if you are.
