We’re hiring a React Developer to help us create and build out the next new version of our text messaging software, Salesmsg. This role is the #1 priority in the company. Why? Because our business revolves around having a great product, we’re rebuilding our software from the ground up to help thousands of customers grow faster. The better our software, the more businesses we can help and give them better results.
This role is important because you’ll be responsible and primary focus will be on developing the user interface that thousands of customers use every day to message their contacts.

// WHAT DOES SALESMSG DO?
------------------------------------
You know how no one picks up the phone these days?
Or when you call someone and their voicemail says, “Don’t leave me a voicemail. Just text me.”
See, that’s the problem businesses face everyday when trying to reach their leads, customers, and clients. They’re stuck doing things the old way (calling, voice-mailing, emailing) and getting old school results.
The new way to instantly engage with leads and customers is with real-time text messages.
We built Salesmsg to solve this problem for businesses.
Salesmsg is a two-way text messaging software that’s used by thousands of companies to help them engage and connect with their customers over text.
"It's like Gmail for text messaging for your business."
We’ve all heard the saying, “it takes a village to raise a child”, but when it comes to your business, “it takes a team to grow and scale.”
And because we’re growing at a pretty nice clip each month, we need your help to change the way our product gets built at SalesMessage.com

// OUR CORE VALUES
------------------------------------
1. We Figure It Out.
If you’re not inquisitive, curious, and goal oriented - this isn’t for you. There’s things that will happen that will require you to dig a bit deeper to “figure it out." We don’t expect the customer to figure it out for us, we dive in and make it happen.
2. Insatiable Learning.
There’s a wealth of knowledge in books, articles, videos, courses, training events, and everywhere you look. Google anything and you’ll find the answer. If you can’t “figure it out” yourself, trust me, someone else already has for you and there’s most likely a blog post or book written about it.
You are resourceful to your core.
3. Keep it Real.
Seeing things for “how they truly are” gives us power. In fact, we have to be real in order to survive and thrive. When you tell it like it is, you have nothing to hide and can come to a solution faster than dancing around the issues.
4. What’s Next Mindset.
Things are changing and we are always looking to the future to build what’s next. How can we improve? What trend is coming/happening and how can we lean in to that? What’s coming next? How can we iterate and improve what’s working now?
Okay, with that out of the way, let’s get into what this role will look like for you…

So there you have it.
Are you a match? Do you want a REAL challenge?
Then, I think you know what to do next.
Oh, and one last thing.
Be different in your application. We get hundreds of people applying just like you, so if you want this position… please stand out.
Cheers,
Chris, CEO
P.S. I don't have all of the answers, nor does anyone on our team.
We're winging it just as much as the other guys. So if you're expecting perfection, you won't find it here.
If you're okay with bruises, cuts by a thousand knives, and more good days mixed with bad days as we grow and scale "as a team" - then, this might be right for you.
