Want to work for Freshview?
Posted by David Greiner on December 5, 2007 6:38 PM
After just completing a mammoth office fitout and a big move into more space, we're looking for a number of new people to join the Freshview team. This is a pretty cool opportunity for anyone interested in shaping the future of 2 award winning (and much-loved) web applications used by tens of thousands of fellow designers.
I like to think we offer a pretty awesome work environment - free catered lunches, near the beach, private offices, and lots of other fun stuff. We've been holding out on making this announcement until the move into our shiny new premises was complete, but now we're all settled and really need some more hands on deck. Here are the new positions we've opened up:
- Designer and customer support legend
- System Administrator
- Senior Developer
- Mid-level tester
- Office Manager/Bookkeeper
If you're interested, we've written a little about what it's like working at Freshview. If you're not a good match but know someone who is, please help us out by passing the position on to them.
All of these positions are for our Sydney office, but if you're the right match and interested in moving to sunny Sydney, we'd be happy to sponsor you. It's actually a pretty easy process these days - just ask Bob, our new QA Engineer who we moved here from Canada.

I can't tell you how tempting that designer job is. Moving to Australia for a swell job at a swell company would be one hell of a life experience. It'd be nice to get away from all this fluffy white stuff that's all over the ground, too :)
Good luck with the search; I'm sure you will find some great people.
And I can hold my own in ping pong. :p

Cheers Aken, we're actually happy to relocate the right person if you're interested, so feel free to fire your resumé through if that sounds tempting. The ping pong skills make you a virtual shoe-in ;)

Perhaps I will do just that, Dave! I'm not sure if my experiences will match up to your expectations for the position, but hey - you never know.

Oh Man this is tempting - we're looking at emigrating down under from the UK in the next couple of years and the Senior Developer job would probably fit me pretty nicely... we weren't thinking about it for another year or so though...

James, great to hear you might be interested. We're always looking for good developers, so even if you don't plan on making the move tomorrow, fire through an email and start a conversation.

Dear Dave,
Any room for an experienced IT Sales Professional? I am Canadian, just like Bob. Having been living in Sydney for 6 years in Grays Point - 5 minutes from your office. Also lived and worked in the UK for 12 years. Mature, experienced, professional, very presentable. Background - Program Management, IT Technical Support, IT Sales and Sales Management - now oddly in IT Recruitment (BDM) in the city. Would love a great job closer to home. I hope to hear from you soon.
Kindest regards,
Sharon

Thanks for the kind words Sharon, fire us an email with your details and we can go from there. We actually just hired another Canadian on top of Bob - you guys seem intent on taking over the company!

Guys, I just wanted to say a BIG thank you really for all your hard work you put into your apps. You developed some fantastic tools. I am a big fan! Your support is great, any questions get answered very timely and you just created the right balance between a really great business app whilst having some fun working, really! If you ever need a marketing person, let me know, I'd be on the next flight!
