Swifto is an investor backed pet services company looking to expand our operations in all directions. We’re a mix of a pet services / tech start-up that both develops apps & web applications to be integrated with traditional services like dog walking and pet sitting, and executes the service itself. We’re currently going through a period of rapid growth and planning to expand to both new cities like Chicago & Boston, and other services that could benefit from a technology oriented approach.
We’re now looking for other entrepreneurially minded, super-optimistic, and freakishly ambitious team members to join us in our pursuit of world domination. We’re a fun loving bunch of extremely hard-working and eccentric creatives that make it a priority to keep our work place extremely fun, fast-paced, and challenging. INTERNSHIPS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE, read on for more info.
You are:
- Someone who is often feared by competitors - A good communicator with excellent phone & writing skills, someone can express their thoughts very clearly and effectively - A multi-tasker who isn’t afraid to learn new skills - Someone who doesn’t fold under stress or anxiety - Very type-A. If you’re someone who sees an unread e-mail and HAS to read and respond as soon as possible or someone who checks their texts every 2 minutes, this job is for you - Someone who thrives in a high energy, very creative, and fun workplace. We’re always bouncing around ideas; we play music, and occasionally work a crazy number of hours just because we love our jobs. - Someone who loves to GET THINGS DONE - Someone genuinely interested in things like new ideas, cool gadgets, and fun facts - Someone looking to prove themselves. We’re looking for people with POTENTIAL that we can help unlock - Someone who’s a bit weird or unique and unafraid to show it. - An entrepreneur at heart who likes to create things and be the best at everything they do. - Someone who has a good sense of humor (if we’re going to be spending 40+ hours a week with you, you better be able to make us laugh) - A PROBLEM SOLVER who doesn’t complain or whine about tough problems or tasks and really exhausts every possibility when approached by a problem. DO NOT APPLY IF YOU’RE SOMEONE WHO CONSISTENTLY WHINES ABOUT DIFFICULTIES AT WORK OR SCHOOL.
