| I really like Gazelle! I think this is a great company and a fantastic idea. I can't believe I didn't find this place sooner! I was going to try to sell my Sidekick 20... |
We're building www.gazelle.com with big goals in mind. Sure, we want people to think of us as the place to sell used electronic devices. It's designed to be easy and fast with zero hassles for folks selling anything from cell phones to MP3 players, Apples to Blackberries.
But we also want to accomplish a couple of other things:
Gazelle is aiming to assemble the very best team and is highly selective when hiring. If you can contribute to our passionate, creative, freewheeling team, we want you. You'll need to learn quickly and be comfortable making independent (correct) decisions as we forge new territory together. Gazelle fosters a collaborative environment that encourages input and rewards initiative.
In addition to the chance to make internet history, every employee receives three weeks vacation, full medical and dental benefits, participation in a 401K plan and a generous bonus plan.
Listed below are current openings. See if any are the right fit for you.
Gazelle is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
We're expanding our team of creative, passionate Ruby on Rails programmers to help us build our product and scale up our systems to support a rapidly growing business.
We don't require ninjas, rock stars, pirates, robots, zombies or unicorns. We want programmers who love coding and want to help build an awesome web site that will make our customers' day.
Our team is very collaborative, working directly with QA and our stakeholders at all stages of the development process. We develop on Macs and Linux, deploy on Ubuntu, scale on EC2 and use open-source tools. We write automated tests for everything we build using RSpec, Cucumber, and Selenium. We constantly review and improve our process and our code.

We are looking for gadget gurus! Folks who love poking and prodding all the latest electronic devices (and last year's models too!). Cell Phones, MP3 players, Gaming consoles, Digital Camcorders, Cameras and Laptops...we get it all. Consumers send them to us, we inspect them and then re-sell them. Where do you fit in? We need self motivated, detail oriented people who can learn our process, turn on a dime, take apart an electronic gadget, test it per our guidelines and then move on to the next device with an eye on quality and the customers experience. Previous work experience with electronics, mobile phone activations, computer hardware, warehouse logistics, shipping, Inventory systems and eCommerce/Internet technologies.

Opportunity
The Controller will directly report to the CFO and work within a close-knit, intense Finance department. The successful candidate must possess a strong theoretical grasp of accounting and control standards and should be able to balance that knowledge with practical experience. The Company presents a transactional, evolving accounting landscape, so the candidate must offer notable intellectual horsepower in order to succeed. The position will have accounting support, but it will require both low-level and high-level duties, so the hired individual will have checked their ego at the door (along with EVERYONE else in the office).
