About Us:

Innovation is the name of the game.

At Wenn, we are a relentlessly people-focused group re-imagining, re-designing, and re-engineering the way people find their next job. We're looking for passionate and creative individuals who love helping others and innovating like crazy to join our cause.

We get off on solving real problems in the simplest, most elegant manner possible and want to work with people who Get. Shit. Done.

We’re a team of people who don’t listen when we're told something can’t be done. We hate the status quo. We dream big, iterate fast, and build awesome products.

In our user testing we achieved a +83 Net Promoter Score with job seekers. We were awarded the Top HR Tech Startup of 2022 and presented as one of the leading companies building the Future of Work at SXSW 2023.

We are 90% of the way towards our MVP but our CTO has had to leave the company to deal with family health issues, so we need someone who has experience taking technologies from 0 to 1. We want someone who knows what it takes to work in and build disruptive startups. Our goal is to change the game, we want someone who is passionate about disruption, innovation, and helping others.

This can either be part time or full time depending on your bandwidth. You will receive equity in the company and the title “co-founder” is available to be earned for the right person.

You

You are a motivated and energetic rockstar CTO with experience launching and scaling disruptive technologies.

You exhibit a fanatical commitment to the customer while inspiring the team around you to pioneer the next generation of people solutions. You want to make life better for millions and help those less fortunate than yourself.

You excel in a fast-paced environment. You do your best work while riding the Giant Inverted Boomerang at Six Flags with your pants literally on fire. If your Six Flags doesn’t have WiFi, you Wi(ll)Fi(nd) a way.

If you thought your high school [girlfriend/boyfriend]’s habit of driving while talking on the phone and eating ramen was reckless, this is not the company for you.

You should be goal-oriented and able to work without supervision or mentorship. You thrive in a cross-functional setting. That setting is also—you guessed it—fast-paced. You should not be the kind of person who suggests that maybe “oriented” isn’t the word we were looking for or even a word at all, or that “cross-functional” is a garbage business neologism for “sends emails and doesn’t run away screaming when she has to talk to Bill from Marketing.”
