Job description

Do you think local discovery is still not there yet? Do you find local review sites to be full of stuff that isn't relevant to you? So do we.

Passion for web and mobile applications is a must, and you need to be willing to work hard, fast, and effectively to help build something great that helps a large number of people.

Where

We prefer that employees be based in Portland or Eugene, and allow people to work from home and potentially from an office.

Compensation

GuideMe is an angel investor-backed company started by former Yahoo! executives that pays competitive salaries, offers generous stock options, and has a solid benefits package.
