eBay Developer Program: Needs Biz Dev Techie

August 22nd, 2006 • Related • Filed Under

The group at eBay where I work, the Developers Program, is looking to hire a biz dev person that’s also at least a little techie.

Here’s the key requirements:

  • Work with eBay’s Internet Marketing and Product Management teams to define and enable third-party development of applications to drive activity to eBay.com.
  • Evangelize and communicate the benefits of developing on the eBay Platform using our Application Programming Interface (API) and other web services to third parties (primarily affiliates) through conference appearances, one-on-one interaction and personal innovation.
  • Maintain and continue to develop/streamline the platform access infrastructure for third parties.

And here’s the full description. (If that link doesn’t work, go to ebaycareers.com and search for job “12439BR”.)

If you’re interested, please e-mail me. The domain is “ebay.com” and my username is “atrachtenberg”.
