________________________________________________________________________

You have lots of options when it comes to putting your skills to work, so we want you to know what it means to be a 6kites Kite Flier.

Here's the lowdown:

We're new and small and growing fast. It's exciting to join a company at this stage in the game, because everything you do can have a big impact.
We have our hands in a lot of cookie jars. Working at the convergence of Social-Mobile-Web means you definitely won't get bored.
You get to shape how we do things—there's no preconceived “right answer.�
We're a fun bunch. A bit sarcastic (so be warned).
We emerge ourselves in all facets of the business with highly skilled people. We believe you learn a lot when you work with people of high caliber.
Growth opportunities are nearly endless if you have strong skills and the ability to work effectively with all kinds of people.
We expect hard work, but we're also very flexible. Everyone here understands that we have a life outside of 6kites.
Our office is on Pearl Street in downtown Boulder, but we're also open to people working remotely.
The thing that matters most in becoming a Kite Flier is your ability to Blow People Away!  In fact, “blowing people awayâ€? has a specific meaning at 6kites: you have the ability to wow people with your exceptional skills, and your teammates say it's easy to work with you.  When those two attributes come together, work becomes a pleasure and clients see the results.

We're always aiming sky-high, and we work best with folks who constantly ask more of themselves. Sound like a good fit? Contact us at alex@6kites.com
