Join the BadPopcorn Team!

BadPopcorn is growing faster than the few of us can handle. Therefore we are hiring for a number of diverse positions, strategically chosen to increase our presence in parts of the world (and beyond!) where our market penetration is less than optimal.

If your specialty is not listed here, don't worry! As we expand, so will our needs. Let's say you're a ranch hand with 25 years of experience in the field, but you've just found a way to get internet access through a barbed-wire fence. Send in your resume and we'll get back to you as soon as we make our move into the wilds of Wyoming. Maybe you're a marine biologist and you've just learned how to teach dolphins to write Ruby; let us know!

This is what we're looking for currently.
