Zenlist: Classifieds for Every Website
Zenlist is based on a simple idea: Let visitors to any website connect and transact via classified ads. In the process, we’re making online classifieds more social and giving website publishers a new way to generate revenue. Think “Craigslist meets Google ads”. To this end, we’ve created the first embeddable classified listings system that also includes a managed content network.
We previously raised a small seed round from Paris- and San Francisco-based angel investors. Today we have a functional minimum viable product in private beta release.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a talented, energetic and proactive senior developer: Someone who can jump into an existing project with an existing architecture, and lead us though a high-pressure growth stage. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to get into a promising startup early, and help us innovate and disrupt a multi-billion-dollar global industry.
Requirements
You should be ninja-level in:
- Python / Turbogears
- MongoDB
- jQuery
- Hand-tooled JavaScript
- xHTML, CSS
In addition, the following skills/experience are critical:
- Unix server administration
- Third-party authentication protocols (Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo!)
- API development

Responsibilities
We’re looking for more than just a developer. We’re looking for someone with architectural vision, business savvy, and entrepreneurial energy.
- Maintain, streamline, and improve our existing technology platform
- Design and implement new algorithms to power our search and recommendation engines
- Contribute to our R&D of innovative content acquisition and distribution methods
What We Can Offer
