REGARDING DECEMBER - if you already submitted to last December's post, and haven't heard from us yet, we're still getting to you. The team's been working really hard over the last year, and I unexpectedly gave most of the folks helping me with job submissions the time off at the end of December / beginning of January. Apologies for the delay, and we will be with you soon. Rest assured there are jobs we're trying to fill - in fact, more than ever, it seems.

Is this usa remote only.


@alexander2002 - "mostly". The jobs we're actively sourcing for here are USA remote and/or hybrid. As we say, we're always interested in exceptional resumes, where-ever they are in the world, and we do have some international staff. Americas timezone aligned or alignable is vastly preferred. I don't want to get anybody's hopes up, but I don't want to limit myself either.

Sales and Marketing:

(seriously, engineers, please stop submitting here. you want the google form up above. If you email for the sales role, you'll get misprocessed and denied.)

Prophet Town is mostly engineers and TPMs; we’re lightweight on business majors :). I’ve done most of the sales for the company personally as the Founder. I am trying something new, and issuing a general RFP for folks interested in joining a nascent sales and marketing arm within Prophet Town. Learn our ~50 hire-out staff, and our recent projects, and help land the next million dollar build-an-app or staffing-gig contract, that provides slam dunk matches between Work and Workers. I do not believe in cold-calling or spamming. Also, please note that I am personally ex-Google, and helped run Adwords: I believe in science and data-driven sales and marketing, and want humble and academic bizdevs who postulate falsifiable hypotheses and minimize time and spend to prove hunches wrong (and expect to be wrong a lot!). Please send me a pitch, resume (pdf, attachment), and your preferred pay band and/or comp strategy, to hn-sales-rfp@ptown.tech. For emails sent by July 15, I will personally review emails, and respond before July 25.

If you submitted and haven't heard from us, we are hoping to be in touch ASAP! Thank you. And yes, meanwhile, we are still accepting submissions.

What do you mean by enlightened business?


Hey. Love this posting man. I sent in an application :)


Thanks! Prophet Town's 2nd-in-command (Ian) is helping me comb responses and he's out camping through Saturday; we're going to start going through responses this weekend.


Hey, do you hire Canadians by any chance?


We have in isolated cases, in the past. Our needs at the moment mostly require US-only, but you're free to put in submission to the form.
