Jobs


Hi:

It's good to work at blinkBox. Working for a start-up is as gratifying as you've heard - and we're still a little company, so there's a chance for any one who joins to have a big impact. We're all about the collective - together we're smarter and have more fun.

We have a team of the best people you'd ever want to meet. Even those of us who once had jobs working for "the man," are suddenly wearing Converse and practically running to work in the morning. It might also be because we're working on really cool stuff - creatively and technologically - that no one else on the web (or in the world) is doing.

We like people who are smart, funny, hardworking and love finding (and making) the coolest things online. We enjoy geeking out about movies and TV, but it's not compulsory - you're allowed to geek out about other things too.

It's a creative and energetic atmosphere - we find this helps us get things done. Oh, and there are a million amazing lunch places round here.

See you soon.
