Kachingle, a Silicon Valley based startup that monetizes online content with a generalized crowdfunding system, seeks an experienced technical product manager with user interface design skills to finalize the flow of our Web 2.0 application and complete the definition of a few areas of the product.

Our goal is nothing less than to save great content from an untimely demise, since online advertising does not work as a revenue stream for much of it.  In particular we believe our transaction-based business model can help support the best journalists, the best news sites, the best blogs, the best content sites of all types whether they be created by individuals, groups, corporations, or non-profits.  To find out more about our system, and how it works please read the
press articles listed on our corporate blog. 

Content clients we are in partner discussions with include some of the largest media companies in the world.

To qualify you must have outstanding technical skills such as basic HTML, Photoshop, Excel, etc. and serious experience working on a Web 2.0 application such as digg, StumbleUpon, Twitter, or the like.  We primarily use Pivotal as our tracking tool.

You must be extremely detail oriented down to the last byte/pixel/character.

The right candidate will have specific deep experience in most if not all of the following areas:
  • user interface flow and design layout
  • Paypal integration
  • Facebook integration
  • Blogging and blogging platforms, blog templates
  • Social networking
  • page layout
  • high volume Web 2.0 services (e.g. >1M registered users); massive scaling from a user interface POV
