RescueTime is helping individuals and businesses understand how they spend the most precious resource they have-- time. Armed with that data, we're helping them spend it more effectively and building a fascinating data asset of tens-of-millions of man hours of anonymous attention data. Our users love what we're doing, we're getting write-ups all over the place (from TechCrunch to the New York Times), and we've got some fabulous investors.
We're looking to hire our first non-founders, which will give you a rare opportunity to help shape a 6 month old product and company. We're looking for people who aren't specialists-- be prepared to break out of the narrow roles you find at larger companies. You'll help shape the product strategy, blog occasionally, and help support our users.
RescueTime offers competitive base salary, stock options, health benefits, flexible hours.
