Flipboard is Hiring!
Inside Flipboard / December 12, 2010
Flipboard, the world’s first social magazine, is hiring. Recently named by Apple the iPad App of the Year for 2010, life at Flipboard is very exciting. And we’re just getting started!
Founded by Mike McCue, former CEO of Tellme, and Evan Doll, former Senior iPhone Engineer at Apple, Flipboard is on a quest to transform how people discover, browse and share content by combining the beauty of print with the power of social media.
In 2010, Flipboard raised $10.5MM from legendary investors KPCB and Index Ventures, as well as media innovators including Jack Dorsey co-founder of Twitter and Dustin Moskovitz co-founder of Facebook.
Why join Flipboard?
At Flipboard, you would be an important part of an exciting and collaborative team. Â We are still a small team building a company with a tremendous amount of potential. Â We value innovation, creative problem solving, and quality work. Â Design is held in the highest regard and the development pace is rapid.

We have great people with diverse backgrounds from Apple, Netflix, Adobe, Ellerdale, Aardvark, Ning, Activision, and Xbox Live.
