Freedom, Flexibility and Fun: Build The Internets With Chapter Three
Chapter Three LLC was founded in 2006 by Josh Koenig, Matt Cheney, and Zack Rosen, three friends with a shared interest in social change, mutual expertise in open-source technology and grassroots organizing, and a strong belief in the wealth of networks. Since then we’ve built a successful web strategy and development consultancy around Drupal, the world’s leading open-source content management system.
Business is booming and we need to expand! Currently we have a sweet office in the sunny part of San Francisco, and are working on opening a satellite outpost in/around Arcata later in 2008.
We have a no-nonsense, irreverent and fun-loving company culture currently heavy on bicycling, vegetarian/veganism, fantastic haircuts and visceral ephemera. Everyone brings something to the table. We’re looking for fun-loving, free-thinking people who want to build their skills and join the newest A-team of the internet.
