Blank Label is currently looking for a Handy Man (Web Developer Intern) to work with our Chief Hamster (CTO), Lead Artist (Graphic Designer) and Lead Evangelist (Online Marketer) to make www.blank-label.com the most kick ass e-commerce site with the most awesome Design-It-Yourself Custom Men's Dress Shirt App EVER! Ha, yes we are a bunch of fools, but at least we’re not tools.
We’re a self-funded startup, that launched October 31, to fundamentally change the relationship between individual consumer and apparel producer by offering affordable (starting at $45) co-created custom men’s dress shirts. Already getting orders everyday we’re looking for the opportunity to scale up, and with the long laundry list of things to do, we’re seeking some development help.
The team is spread with Chief Hamster in Orange County, Lead Artist and Lead Evangelist in Boston, and Chief Shirt in Shanghai (where our dress shirts are made). We’re pretty chill about working remotely, dialing in for all hands calls twice a week, being super responsive on email, and keeping scheduled to our project management tools.
Of course we’d love to bring someone on full-time but the reality is we’re a startup not in the cash-flow position to do so. Instead we’re looking for someone quirky and different up for an entrepreneurial opportunity, interested in supplementing college or their day job with some extra cash. Ideally we’d be able to work with you part-time for a couple of months and then dive into stock options and dreaming about the bigger picture.
We hire on culture and attitude first and skill set second. Preferably our Handy Man is a bit of a generalist who can work with our Graphic Designer on some front-end work whilst being able to engage with our Chief Hamster in actual programming in our ASP.NET framework. Experience with ASP.NET or e-commerce or doing any else tremendously awesome is a BIG +.
If this sounds like an interesting gig to you, drop us an email with five things you would do to improve our site. If we agree with three of them, we’ll chase you down.
As an aside, if you have a friend or colleague in mind, if we hire someone you refer to us, we'll give you a Blank Label co-created custom dress shirt!
