We have a couple of openings for developers – one in St. John’s, and one in Ontario – to headline the Jobs of the Week column today.
St. John’s-based HeyOrca, which makes collaboration software for marketers, is looking for a Software QA Developer, and Burlington, Ont.-based Audiobooks.com, is seeking a Front-End Developer.
HeyOrca, which announced a $2 million raise in May, has been gaining a lot of buzz lately because its monthly recurring revenue has been increasing rapidly. As of May, its customer base had increased 800 percent in the past year, adding 160 new businesses. The customers listed on its website include Saatchi & Saatchi, Microsoft Studios, Hilton Head Island and TheSocialDiner.
Almost 15 years old, Audiobooks.com has been streaming audiobooks since 2011. The service offers tens of thousands of titles to its users, at a lower price than some competitors. It also has a history rolling out innovations in the audiobook market.
The Jobs of the Week column features openings posted on the Entrevestor Job Board, which focuses on jobs in technology, innovation and startups in Atlantic Canada. The Entrevestor Job Board helps match job openings and candidates in the tech and start-up communities and is operated by Entrevestor and Alongside.
Here are excerpts from the job postings:
St. John’s
HeyOrca
As a developer, you have probably worked on some contracts and projects at some point in your life: setting up a website, developing software, consulting. The success of the project relies on active communication between you, your team and the stakeholders of the project by defining goals, deliverables, collaborating on work and communicating the results. Marketing agencies work similarly: they help tens and hundreds of clients with their marketing strategy and content; all with different expectations, deadlines, and deliverables. HeyOrca is a web based tool to make sense of this chaos: bringing the marketing team and their clients together in one place to communicate, create and deliver. Think of it like GitHub for marketing agencies. . . .
