Job Description:
Zibbet is a fast growing startup with real traction, based in Sydney, Australia. We're on the hunt for a senior ruby developer that is ready for a change, a new challenge and an opportunity to join the Zibbet team at the foundational level. You'll be responsible for rebuilding our current site, which is currently built on a convoluted, custom PHP framework, with a bit of Java thrown in there for good measure! This makes for a complex beast that is hard to work with and isn't scaling well.
We're about to raise our first round of funding, and when this closes we'll be adding a front end UI/UX dev, plus 2 more back-end ruby devs.
Salary:
We're offering $52,000/annum (initially) + significant equity in the company. We realise you're worth much more than $1,000/week, but the real value of this opportunity lies in the equity. We're offering a generous amount of equity for the stage of the startup lifecycle we're at, as we want you to share in our success. Once we close our funding, your salary will increase to normal market rates.

If you think you're the perfect fit for this opportunity or have any further questions, email us: jo...@zibbet.com.
Who is Zibbet?
Zibbet.com is an online marketplace that connects shoppers with sellers of handmade products, fine art, vintage and crafting supplies. We already have some serious traction: recurring revenue, over 25,000 members, over 1 million pageviews per month, over 150,000 active items listed, recently mentioned in the Wall Street Journal and PC World as one of the top 4 handmade marketplaces worldwide, and we've already attracted acquisition interest from NASDAQ listed, Internet Brands.
Why choose Zibbet?
Our team is small, so everything you do will have a huge impact. You'll get to work on a platform that already has 1000's of people using it everyday. You're going to be an integral part of our success and we're going to have a lot of fun along the way.
As one of the top 4 handmade marketplaces worldwide, Zibbet is well positioned to capture a very large chunk of a massive (and growing) market. Our leading competitor, Etsy.com, is valued at over $600M with over 800,000 active sellers. They had revenues of $72M last year, which is expected to grow to $201M by 2016. We believe we can achieve this, and more!
In summary...
- We are well positioned in a huge market
- You will be receiving significant equity in a startup with real traction
- You will start at $1,000/week, which will increase to normal market rates post-funding
- You will get to work on a platform with 1000's of users
- You will have flexible working hours and location
- You will get to be an integral part of a small team
- You will be thankful everyday that you applied for this job!
