Marketing & Technical Sales

We’ve developed a powerful, thoughtful, and personally connected cloud operations service. Now we’re looking for a marketing/Technical Sales team member to help us grow. We’re a small, earnest group with a sense of humor. We’re dedicated to learning and improving. We strive to make our work something we enjoy. We strive to make our service something customers enjoy. We’re looking for someone to complement our team. The ideal person is earnest and joyful in their work, able to keep their eye on the prize and make things happen.

EarlyDog is a cloud operations service for companies with business-critical web applications. Our vision is to be the best managed cloud services company in the world. We want to achieve that by being reliable, honest, open, respectful, and by constantly improving ourselves and our service.

We're building a meaningful company. Life is short and work is a large percentage of our waking time. So we're building a company where each one of us can get real individual value being part of this team. It's work, of course, but it's built on a culture of trust, personal growth, shared purpose, and a commitment to maintaining these aspects of our culture while we grow.

We understand that everyone has varying backgrounds. Please apply even if you don't check all the boxes. We'd still love to talk to you.

Simplicity

Be intentional. Be calm. Identify what’s essential to solve problems faster. Less bits, more rock.

Joy

We’re lucky enough to have this time on the planet and we spend a lot of it working together. We have fun and enjoy being playful but keep things buttoned up and professional. We're laid back but strive for better than superb.

Authenticity

We genuinely care about each other and our customers. It's hard to imagine how you can do that for a customer if you’re not doing it as a team. We only engage in work we're proud of releasing into the wild.

Trust

We trust each other to deliver. We keep our eye on the prize, not our own ego.

Learning

There is so much information in the world, nobody can know everything. We cultivate an environment where people can feel comfortable learning in public. We're stronger learners if we do it together.
