Join Chartbeat

Want to be at the center of the real-time web? Join our team in New York and help build the next generation of real-time web analytics.

About Chartbeat

Chartbeat is a real-time analytics & response service that in less than a year has become the tool of choice for sites with serious traffic such as Time.com, Gawker, Gizmodo and even chatroulette! We’ve done well but we still have very big plans for the service and we’re hoping you might be one of the people to help us get there.

You’ll be working in a very strong start-up culture, where being able to take your own initiative and asking forgiveness more than permission is prized. You’ll be part of a small flexible team pushing code to production several times a day and getting involved in product decisions at every level.

As a Betaworks company you’ll be working in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District at the heart of the real-time web, with bit.ly, tweetdeck, and social flow all in the same building. The companies collaborate to share information in hack days, cmd fu sessions and brown bag lunches that bring together the best of the tech scene from across New York. There’s even mentoring sessions available from the CEO and COO of Betaworks to teach you the ins and outs of the business side of building your own startup for those that are interested.

Sales/Account Management/Everything person

Can you walk into a room full of older, richer, more powerful people and own it? Does Dave Allen come to you for productivity tips? Do you love the Internet so much that when your mifi runs out of battery it physically hurts? Are you the only person Conan and Kanye follow on their secret Twitter accounts? Chartbeat is looking for someone to join the team to handle everything from closing sales, managing accounts, handling support and every other task that comes from being the no. 2 business guy in a startup.

We need someone who fucking loves the internet and social media. Who is young and ridonkulously hard working with big dreams. Any experience at all is optional, we will mould you in our image.
