Green Gurus is on the prowl for some new tech-driven team members.
Our team is comprised of a wide-range of talents from sustainable energy systems designers, feature film miniature and mechanical engineers, sustainable architects, Second Life programmers, and a host of other skills. Our projects range from multi-thousand person events, to on-air consulting, to feature films, to eCommerce, to manufacturing, and much, much more.
We’re well connected and very active in the Los Angeles underground modern tribal scene (cliche yes, but it fits the part), utilizing a vast range of science, technologies and metaphysics.
Here are our current task priorities:
1. Our site: GreenGurus.net
We’ve got to nail down a site design fitting of our name and team’s skills. We’ll have a much better conversion rate in closing new clients if we get this locked down.
2. Our keyword domains
We’ve got around 500 domains, most of them green-themed: We’re looking into monetizing a bunch, selling some and building out others.
3. Green eCommerce platform
One of our other companies, Distinctivefabric.com has an extensive, proprietary code base that we’re looking to overhaul into a green eCommerce platform and then license and/or sell.
4. Solar powered web hosting
We’re working towards our own solar powered data center chain, but until we’ve raised the money to put that together, we’ll be running on a dedicated server through AISO.net, configuration with them happening right now, should be up and running within the next week.
If any of these projects appeal to you and you think you’d like to explore a potential partnership with us to help manifest any of these items, then please let us know. We’re only able to pay through profit-sharing, performance-based pay and/or sweat equity right now. Assuming we get our site up to snuff, we can really start creating some exciting and meaningful compensation opportunities.
We continue to receive steadily increasing inquiries, have got some great natural page ranking on Google, especially under “green consulting” search terms, our team member’s individual projects and companies continue to complement our own here, and much more.
You are adept in any of these programs/languages/CMS:
PHP, MySQL, Python, Perl, Ruby, RoR, Ajax, Java/JavaScript, XML/XHTML, Drupal/Joomla/etc., WordPress (including installs), Apache/Debian, Photoshop/The Gimp, Illustrator, Quark, InDesign, AutoCad, Maya, Flash, ActionScripting, API interfacing, version control systems, Unix, ProTools, Logic, Ableton Live, and any other language or science you’re competent with in producing results.
You have experience from school and/or on-the-job training, can provide live and close to or fully completed projects online, have a working/proficient understanding of iterative, agile and atomic coding techniques/philosophies, and are otherwise a bad-ass online.
Preferably: you work in open source, off a Mac or Linux box, but have some working understanding of PC to get around should the need arise; live within the US, ideally w/in CA > Los Angeles…if not, possibilities still exist. Telecommunicating okay.
Please submit any relative content, links, resumes, or other media format…just be creative, inventive, entrepreneurial, and socially/eco-conscious in your approach to contacting us.
Also, see our ad on Craigslist.
Yes. But do you want to be and more importantly, should you be?
I think the answer to both these questions is a very loud yes. Why? How about a question as answer: Why not?
The time is now, more than ever, to immerse yourself in the sustainability movement and expand your working knowledge as wide and deeply as you can. We here at Green Gurus are doing so every day and just can’t get enough. But maybe that’s a bit much for some right off the bat or you just like to take your time when learning new things and embracing new, emerging trends. That’s fine too.
But the bottom line is such that you might just have to at some point.
New and existing companies are embracing the triple bottom line (economic, environmental and social values) more and more. And in today’s marketplace, the old-school mindset (or paradigm) of having to “beat the competitors to market” still prevails for many - though we definitely see a future of greater love and support through even more ancient systems such as bartering of time, energy, resources, etc. rather than continuing to isolate and compartmentalize things from each other, all in the name of progress.
Supported by each other, we can do so much more than just progress; we can continue to evolve harmoniously with the world around us.
Anyway, in the meantime, why not start or continue expanding your knowledge of some area that interests you, be it organic and local grown food, fair trade products, sustainable building design, energy reduction, or whatever else it is that tickles your fancy? The skills you begin building or adding on now will not only serve to enhance your life, but that of your family’s, friend’s, co-workers, and neighbors.
If you’re not sure what interests you, feel free to let us know and we’ll work together to figure out.
