The world is filled with sixes.  Not the hot ones from Battlestar Galactica - we're talking average opportunities filled by average talent.  You’re not a six, so why jump at an average opportunity when we’re offering up the golden ticket.

At Ship Sticks we’ve got it all.  An experienced management team, a top notch product, and a lifestyle that can’t be beat.  Join us as we build a great business in one of the best zip codes in the world with offices less then a mile from the beach.  Be a part of our product team in New York or West Palm Beach and take ownership of the Ship Sticks platform.

Why you
