Company Overview

We exist to unlock creativity.

The Ceros platform empowers designers and marketers to create and publish beautiful, interactive content experiences without the need for developers.

Our users work collaboratively in real-time on a browser-based digital canvas to create pixel-perfect experiences with rich animations and interactivity. The experiences they publish work consistently across all browsers and devices, and all customer engagement is tracked with extensive analytics. All without writing code.

Our customers include some of the world’s leading brands, such as Mashable, Bloomberg, Red Bull, United Airlines, and Twitter.

What we’re trying to do?   

Set the example for good, in-depth 21st century storytelling.

This is kind of a funny thing to try and describe.  We’re a software company.  We’ve experienced growth.  Marketers and designers buy our software.  The cool ones.  The ones who are trying to move past the status quo.    

We’ve gotten to the point in our growth where we need to do something different.  We want to be a brand in the minds of these forward thinkers.  The best way to do this?  We want to tell the stories happening in the design and marketing community that no one is telling.  Why is nobody telling them?  Because traditional editorial is monetized through myopic and simplistic terms.  

Building a brand doesn’t require selling time to advertisers.  It requires creating a meaningful long term relationship with the kinds of people who think the way we do.  And for Ceros, as a tool for interactive storytelling, it means showing, rather than telling, how good storytelling is done.

Who are you?  

You are a storyteller.  You’ve worked in the editorial industry and are tired of pandering to the masses.  You want to be an editor in chief with a clear mission - to tell great stories and build an audience of loyal readers. That’s it.  

You know how to manage a team of writers.  You know how this job description should’ve been written (probably not like this).  You have a vision of what an amazing property would look, feel, and behave like.  You have experience working with art directors, designers, and other creatives to foster the collaboration required to tell digital stories in amazing ways.
