QA engineer, side gig, great equity in TC50 VC-backed startup (Austin)

2009-10-27T18:07:40-05:00

COMPANY
Spawn Labs is a private company headquartered in Austin, Texas. Company leadership has built and sold multiple companies to multi-billion dollar well-known Web/tech leaders such as Google, eBay and Cisco. The company is backed by a Series A venture financing, and recently launched on-stage at the prestigious TechCrunch50 event in San Francisco.

Spawn Labs develops an �anywhere, anytime� platform that provides remote, real-time, interactive access to products, content, and experiences that rely heavily on video. The company�s first application for this platform gives gamers the freedom to play their console video games either alone or with friends, at home or on the road from any network-connected computer. The company also sells a version of this application to the world�s leading game developers for remote game-play access to console development kits.

See http://www.spawnlabs.com/buzz/ for some of the news/buzz we have generated since our launch at TechCrunch50.

SUMMARY
This is a unique opportunity for the right person. If you are a talented QA engineer, we'd encourage you to check this out. We have built a hardware/software product that lets users play their console games (Xbox 360, Xbox, PS3, PS2, Gamecube) remotely from any network-connected computer. We have taken orders from the biggest game developers in the world, and we are shipping product into the consumer market in late November. We are looking for some extra horsepower to add to our QA team, so in exchange for 15 hours per week of part-time work (you can keep your "day job"), we can offer you an amount of equity equivalent to what a Director of Quality Assurance earns in a typical venture-backed startup for full-time work.

POSITION
This position is for a key part-time contributor in our quality assurance engineering team. You will define test plans, execute system and functional test cases, assess risk and readiness of product releases, and generally help to define and direct the mission of the QA team. Our product spans hardware, embedded software, client software, and Web software, so there is plenty to test, lots to learn, and interesting areas for growth.

REQUIREMENTS
� Strong QA engineer with experience in unit, functional, system, scalability, performance testing � both manual and automated

Sr. Developer (Java/Ruby) (Downtown Austin)

2009-10-21T13:36:30-05:00

You�

- live for beautiful code
- have a knack for restating a problem on the way to a simpler solution
- thrive in a collaborative environment
- are on the cutting edge of best practices
- consider yourself an architect of great things
- are driven by an entrepreneurial spirit

What you�ll do�

You�ll have ownership of features or entire applications and will take them all the way from concept to production. Use your depth of experience in Java to help us write great software. Show your insistence for quality by writing succinct tests. Beyond that, you�ll get the chance to define your role in the company and help lead us above and beyond to great things.

What we need�

You should definitely be familiar with the usual suspects of the Java realm: Hibernate, Spring, JDBC and SQL, Servlets and JUnit. Knowledge of Javascript (especially frameworks like Prototype, jQuery), HTML, and CSS are also important. Experience with an IDE (e.g. IntelliJ) is expected. Some sysadmin-fu of the Linux variety is necessary to get around as is more than a passing interest in the inner workings of MySQL.

Extra consideration will be given to Open Source contributors, Rubyists and those with a strong appreciation for good design and user experience. If you have a portfolio, we�d love to see it. We�re looking for someone who can recognize opportunities for improvement, gather feedback (from customers and coworkers), devise a solution, articulate a plan of action, and lead the development efforts from start to finish. The ideal candidate is a good teacher, willing to share their thoughts and explain their choices as they help drive the team build great things while maintaining a strong, healthy code base.

Experience in the online advertising industry, or better yet, in the online lead generation industry is a big plus.

Why should you join us�

We believe in quality, not quantity. Our service is a 24/7 mission critical component for our customers and their business is our business. We take that very seriously and believe strongly that you can do a whole lot more with an elite commando unit than you can with an army of foot soldiers. In order to build that team, we�ll give you what you want: competitive pay, ownership in the company, benefits, a fun place to work, the challenge of writing robust highly-available software, control over your job, and serious input in the direction of the company. And after you get here you can help us pick out who comes next�

About the company�

ActiveProspect is a privately-funded, technology company building a focused portfolio of high-volume web applications that service the online lead generation industry. Our HQ is the second story of a house-turned-office between Whole Foods and Z-Tejas on 6th Street in downtown Austin, close to good food and plenty of happy-hour watering holes. Our culture reflects a work-hard play-hard mentality where flip-flops and shorts are considered business casual.
