We’re always looking for talented individuals to join our growing team, so please check out our current job openings!

Josh

Josh started working as part of AVOS officially the day before Christmas 2011. He likes working on all aspects of web development and works out of the New Zealand office. Josh has an identical twin so if you're trying to say 'hi' to him and you're getting a blank look… it could possibly be his twin.

Jessie

Jessie is the Community and Content Manager at Zeen. If a Zeenster has some feedback, a problem, or just wants to say hi, she’s there. She is the resident music zeenmaker, wildly consumes films and novels, and is beyond excited about the potential and future of multimedia.

Jingyu

Jingyu is our senior software engineer. He had been working for the world's largest companies like Microsoft (Research) and Amazon( San Francisco). Then he chose to join startups like Foursquare( San Francisco) and now AVOS Systems. He wants to turn technology into something easy to use and easy to forget.

Ben

Ben loves to code, ever since he first discovered he could bend computers to his will using Basic at school (and forcing schoolmates to try playing his poorly written text-adventure game.) His hobbies include illustration, videogaming and growing delicious tomatoes in his glasshouse.

Steve

Steve Chen is the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of AVOS Systems Inc. Steve and fellow co-founder Chad Hurley purchased Delicious.com from Yahoo! in April 2011, rebuilt the site from the ground up, and re-launched it in September 2011 as a way to discover and collect the web. In 2005, Steve and Chad co-founded YouTube, the world's largest video site, which was sold to Google in 2006 for $1.76 billion. Steve served as Chief Technology Officer of YouTube until 2009, and remained an advisor for Google Ventures until 2010. Prior to YouTube, Steve was one of the first product engineers at PayPal.

When he’s not behind the screen he can be found shooting arrows at the Archery range and he loves drinking tea, especially Earl Grey.
