Member of Technical Staff (Design & Interaction)
S7 Labs is a hybrid software consulting and incubator firm. We build products for clients, serve as partners for innovative startups, and do a little entrepreneurial dabbling on our own.
We're currently building Songza Radio (social radio), Treshr (find and give free things away), and Storybox (sample and mix the web). Our work encompasses the entire development stack, from Javascript to the server OS. You will be expected to design and implement products and their interfaces to the users.
S7 has a laid back environment and grants staff a high level of autonomy. We believe experimenting and learning is the path to better work, and back it up with educational budgets, tech talks, and FedEx days. Our philosophy is simple: 1. set you up with what you need to get things done, 2. get out of the way, 3. profit!
